    1. This proves that a lot of females/young kids buy more albums than anyone else. Still, Quality>Quantity. MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice, Nelly, and Ja Rule sold a lot of albums, too.

      1. @Anonymous

        You’re the definition of a hater. DK is right on all counts about Puhsa T. You wouldn’t give a flying fuck about Pusha T if you didn’t hate YMCMB so much. Pusha is a fucking lame and a total tool. If you’re a fan of his, then you’re lame too. How can you even dispute the facts?

    7. 1,795,000 teenage girls still buying cds? Whoa! Now if we could get the real hip hop heads to get back to supporting our artists, then it should be all good. This here is proof!

      1. Look at the Supastiton article, there you have your loads real heads. LMAO. Fucking faggots.

    8. What? No Pusha T on this list?

      Lol all of Drake’s haters don’t sell as much as him combined. Common, Pusha T and Chris Brown are not at his level. Drake is one of the biggest names in the game right now. He’s an international superstar. His stature and fame grow bigger by the day. His ascent is unstoppable. A punch of these old as rappers tried to throw spitballs at a tank. Guess what punks, it’s not gonna work. Drake make hits and all of these other dudes flop.

      1. And Drake hated on Luda and Luda albums first two albums sold more than Drake whats your point, lol

    9. actually Nicki Minaj’s Roman Reloaded was one slot above Drake…Rounding out the top 10: Carrie Underwood, Blown Away (602,000), Luke Bryan, Tailgates & Tanlines (575,000), Nicki Minaj, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (557,000), Drake, Take Care (549,000) and Adele’s debut, 19 (539,000). Other notable albums in the top 20 include: Justin Bieber, Believe (#12, 490,000), Madonna’s MDNA (#13, 484,000), Black Keys, El Camino (#16, 424,000) and Rihanna’s Talk That Talk (#17, 424,000).

    10. do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it? Take Care was good. Yall dont get pussy and would get beat up by half of the people yall make fun of. Im done. this site is gay. have a nice night.

    11. shout out to STALLEY….”city of 30,000 wolves”…OHIO!!!!!!!!!!…LMBAO…FIRE 13/13…one of the best 2012!
