The Numbers Game: Beyonce Is Still #1

Beyonce

It’s the first Numbers Games of the year, and Beyonce is still stunting on you hoes. Her self-titled album solds 300,000+ in it’s third week and easily maintained that #1 spot.

King B wasn’t the only artists who did well this/last week. Eminem‘s The Marshall Mathers LP 2 sold over a 100k in it’d 7th week & Justin Timberlake still has two albums in the Top 30. I guess you could say this is because of the holiday shopping season but do people still give music as gifts? And why would you have those people as friends?
