Not much is going on this week, but I do have a few things to note:
- Bruce Springsteen‘s album Wrecking Ball finally unseated Adele’s mighty 23 week reign at the #1 spot (That’s why I didn’t list the sales figures for her albums this week).
- Young Jeezy‘s Thug Motivation 103: Hustlerz Ambition crossed the 500,000 mark last week. He said he should do about a million. I doubt it but I guess we’ll have to wait and see, huh Jizzle?
- Lil’ Wayne‘s Tha Carter IV had a huge boost last week landing all the way back in the Top 10.
- Google & Amazon have been selling select digital album for $.25. I sill don’t know anybody that has purchased one.
Next week Tech N9ne‘s Klusterfuk EP drops. It probably won’t get reviewed though but it’s something right?
