2. Eminem – Recovery – 63,000 – In case anyone is wondering, this brings the total to a lump sum of 3.4M sold. If he continues to push 100K every two weeks, this could be four times platinum in no time.

4. Nicki Minaj – Pink Friday – 61,000 – Shipped platinum. About 150K away from selling a million copies. That’s a pretty safe bet to hit that some time by February.

5. Kanye West – My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy – 58,000 – The crazy thing is Kanye could have two albums go platinum in the same calendar year. Watch The Throne is set to hit stores on March 1.

7. Bruno Mars – Doo Wops & Hooligans – 45,000 – Pop music officially has a new star. Get his gold plaque ready. Hopefully, he’ll shoot a video for “Lazy Song” at some point though.

16. T.I. – No Mercy – 33,000 – At 333K sold, you have to hope they have at least one more video under wraps to give this another push. Again, if this can somehow get to gold, consider this is a win for Grand Hustle.

20. Lil Wayne – I Am Not A Human Being – 26,000 – This surpassed the 500K mark a few weeks ago, but I’m still hoping Weezy decides to shoot a video for “Bill Gates” before moving on to greener pastures. And whatever happened to the version of “I’m Single” with Drake?

27. Diddy-Dirty Money – Last Train To Paris – 21,000 – With all the hype going into this record, Puff has to be pissed about the numbers. It hasn’t even cracked the 200K sold mark and it’s got four bonafide singles to its name (“Angels” – “Hello, Good Morning” – “Loving You No More” – “Ass On The Floor”).

160. Lloyd Banks – Hunger For More 2 – 4,100 – Just please come out with a video and push “I Don’t Deserve You.”
