So December rankings are out for your favorite artist this is where the men and women get a little separated check it out below
Kanye West gets his gold, Soulja Boy and Slim Thug barely make the Top 80, Flo Rida misses the charts, and Black Eyed Peas aren’t budging from the top of the charts.
Soulja Boy and Slim Thug crack the charts with lower numbers than many may have expected. Rick Ross teeters to gold, Nicki Minaj is right behind him, and Flo Rida misses the Top 200 altogether.
Kanye West went from #1 to #7 with his My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy . Now officially gold, the album that was promoted through the revolutionary “G.O.O.D. Friday” leaks crossed the 600,000 unit mark. Praises continue to come in from publications and media about the emcee/producer’s fifth album.
The Black Eyed Peas actually took #6. The group’s follow-up to last year’s The E.N.D., titled The beginning, sold nearly 119,000 units in its first week. The will.i.am-led group’s sixth studio album continues their European club influence, maintaining work with David Guetta and DJ Ammo.
Potentially a week away from her first solo gold plaque, Nicki Minaj has held strong with her debut, Pink Friday. The Young Money album has sold just under 480,000 units in its two weeks available, as Minaj continues to do press appearances. Featuring both Nicki’s brand of singing and rapping, Pink Friday features will.i.am, Drake and Eminem.
