The Numbers Game: Yeezus Goes Gold

Kanye

Crazy enough, I missed posting up last week’s The Numbers Game because the site broke. So I missed both Robin Thicke‘s Blurred Lines being #1 & Tech N9ne‘s Something Else being #4 (His highest debut ever). Not much is going on this week other than Yeezus finally crossing 500,000 copies sold and officially going Gold.
