The Numbers Game: Justin Bieber Scores Fifth #1 Album

The Numbers Game

I thought Justin Bieber‘s career may have been on the down turn (Seeing that he smoking weed & drinking lean these days). But what do I know? His latest album Believe Acoustic, which is an acoustic version of his album Believe, sold 211,000 units and claimed the top spot on the Billboard 200 charts. Five #1 albums, a #1 album in four consecutive years, and all before the age of 19. Crazy.

Sidenote #1: I just didn’t feel like putting a picture of Justin Bieber up today.
Sidenote #2: Shout out to Charlie Wilson with the #4 album in the country.
