1. Game - R.E.D. Album - 97,528 - Well, despite what anyone may have to say about the guy, he's got another #1 album. And while it won't happen, a video for "Ricky" would be dope. 2. Jay-Z & Kanye West - Watch The Throne - 94,227 - Creeping up on platinum, who knows...

1. Jay-Z & Kanye West - Watch The Throne - 436,078 - As if there was any doubt which album would land at #1. The only question, sales wise, is if they'll be platinum by the start of the NFL season. 4. Adele - 21 - 72,722 - I guess the real question is if Ye-Z can...

1. Adele - 21 - 76,000 - There's great news and then there's good news. The good news is even though she'll be knocked out of the top spot next week by 'Ye-Z, she'll probably still be top three. The great news? She'll be three times platinum next week. 13. Kelly Rowland...

Better late than never. My apologies to the people. 2. Adele - 21 - 82,549 - You can't stop this chick. You can only hope to contain her. Hopefully the RIAA is getting her three times platinum plaque ready as we type/read, because it's only a matter of time. And say what...

Consider this the happy hour edition of "Billboard Breakdown." The first drink is free before 8 p.m. EST. 1. Adele - 21 - 77,130 - The songbird appears to get more and more popular as the weeks go by and the numbers prove such. With over 2.75M already scanned and in...

3. Adele - 21 - 76, 717 - She's eating right now and one of the more respected names in music. If she can keep sales somewhere at this pace, she'll be three times platinum by the fall. Her previous album, 19, is also #32 on the charts. That's platinum too, by the way. 5....

1. Beyonce - 4- 115,000 - Gold by next week. Platinum by the end of the summer. And if she can somehow get Three Stacks out of hiding to shoot a video for "Party," watch out. She'll probably ride "Best Thing I Never Had" out for a minute though, not that I blame her. 7....

1. Beyonce - 4 - 311,000 - Not really a surprise this lands at number one. Had this not leaked damn near three weeks earlier, we could probably be looking at numbers near the 500,000 sold mark. I won't lie though. That "Best Thing I Never Had" song is my sh*t though....

1. Jill Scott - Light Of The Sun - 136,000 - She looked great and performed even better at the BET Awards and from what I hear about this album, it's well worth the price of admission. 6. Royce & Eminem (Bad Meets Evil) - Hell: The Sequel - 63,000 - This brings the...

1. Eminem & Royce Da 5'9 - Hell: The Sequel - 170,868 - First and foremost, congrats to Nickel 9 on his first #1 album. Yeah, say it's because of Eminem, and while that may be true, I'll just give credit where it's due. 3. Adele - 21 - 114,540 - Adele can do no wrong...

4. Tech N9ne - All 6's & 7's - 56,000 - This is highest debut chart wise ever and he did so without help from mainstream outlets. Just his underground stranglehold which may be more impressive than anyone you can name. Much respect to him for that. 17. Bruno Mars -...

Coming into this Wednesday, I had planned to do the "Billboard Breakdown" by using the same formula I always have. That was until news broke last night (at least that's when I saw it) that the ever-controversial, yet insanely popular Lady Gaga once again put herself in...

3. Lonely Island - Turtleneck & Chain - 68,000 - I have still yet to listen to this, but hopefully there is something half as funny as "Jizz In My Pants." That's a classic. 5. Tyler, The Creator - Goblin - 46,000 - Considering the fact he and his gang are on every...

8. Wiz Khalifa - Rolling Papers - 37,000 - With today being what it is and all, it only makes sense The Taylor sit near the top of the charts. Burn one to "Star Of The Show." 9. Chris Brown - F.A.M.E. - 35,000 - He's about 50K away from receiving a gold plaque. Give him...

2. Wiz Khalifa - Rolling Papers - 197,000 - Shame on everybody who sipped the kool-aid and believed that "Wiz-only-sold-6000-copies" rumor. Every tweet isn't meant to take as truth, you know? And while the album had its hits and misses, let's be clear, even if Wiz sold...
