Maxwell's BSN should hit a million by years end. A million in less than 6 months is pretty damn good.

Good grief....is all hope lost?!


If I ever shoot myself, that list will be my suicide note to explain why I did it.....

Jay-Z has sold well in the month or so he's been out.

Aside from the ancient MJ tracks, I've probably heard a total of 6 songs from all these albums.

I was just thinking Jay spanked Beyonce's ass....

BklynBabe said:

While true on many levels , Beyonce sold a boat load of SASHA FIERCE in 2008 shes at about 2.4 million in total

I didn't help this list much. I own 2 of the 50 albums listed.

last weeks , weekly chart with grand totals to date (for those up for some light reading)
