J. Cole has proven that a little humility goes a long away. After just three weeks, the rapper’s sophomore set, Born Sinner, has quickly outsold the egotistical Kanye West’s Yeezus and joined an exclusive list of albums that hold a special place in the history of the US charts.
Kanye West thinks he’s a god among men but judging by the less than awesome performance of his Yeezus album on the US charts, he is just a regular guy with a massive ego and little to show for it. Just how bad are the rapper’s album sales? They are so bad that he has […]
The dust has settled on the biggest rumble on the US charts of the year to date and the final results are quite surprising. Kanye West, J. Cole and Kelly Rowland all faced off on the Billboard 200 with their latest releases and although West emerged as the winner, his was almost beaten by Cole.
Clearly, there is room for both Justin Timberlake and Robin Thicke on the US charts. The crooners both enjoyed success on the Billboard lineups this week as the former surged back into the top 5 of the Billboard 200 while his source of inspiration maintained his lead on the Hot 100.

Most notable are the sales of Justin Timberlake’s The 20/20 Experience, which sold another 27K copies this week and inched even closer to the 2 million total benchmark.

Justin Timberlake has the highest-selling album of the year to date but his accomplishments don’t end on that note. Rather, the singer-songwriter scored the biggest radio hit of his career this week as his latest single, “Mirrors”, continued to make waves on the US charts.
If you had any doubt that Mariah Carey’s “#Beautiful” is an undeniable hit then take a look at this week’s US charts. Indeed, long after the songbird’s 16-hour radio deal with Clear Channel expired, her new Miguel-assisted single has continued to score massive gains and even cracked the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100.
Men controlled the top spots of the US charts this week but women certainly put up a good fight. In fact, a pair of divas – Fantasia and Mariah Carey – gave their counterparts quite a battle, particularly the former, who still controls a lofty position on the Billboard 200 tally.
