The Numbers Game: A$AP Rocky Debuts At #1

Rocky

When A$AP Rocky‘s debut album leaked roughly a month before the actual release date, I felt bad for the kid. He didn’t seem to be as concerned and I guess he was right as Live.Long.A$AP grabs the #1 spot on the Billboards. It sold around 140,000 units but considering the circumstances, that’s pretty good. Check out our review of A$AP Rocky’s Long.Live.A$AP here.

Sidenote: This is a partial sales list (It’s missing numbers from Rihanna & Alicia Keys). I may update later but probably not.
