It's a tribute to his versatility; how many other artists could top both the rock AND r&b album charts in the same week with two different albums? How many other artists could even release albums in two diffferent genres in the same week?

His versatility is what makes him, IMO, the GOAT!

There has been a lot of chatter about lack of sales, but the bottom line is, AOA and PE are both Billboard #1 Albums.

I feel pretty safe saying that only Prince could do this.

With all the millions of fans on Facebook that 'like' Prince, AOA should have no problem reaching Gold or even multi Platinum status.

Music sales are at all time low so to do this well without much promotion is great.

Thanks for the update, NewYorkCity! The Kid is definitely back and the albums deserve their ranking. Let's hope he keeps making music for a long, long time.
