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 […]
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.
Thank you, Justin Timberlake. Robin Thicke’s career reached a new peak this week after his inescapable single, “Blurred Lines”, climbed to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, thus beginning its reign at the summit of the US charts and breathing new life into the careers of T.I. and Pharrell.
The US charts were unusually busy this week with a flurry of new debuts and major moves that finally shook up the previously stagnent top 10 lineups of both the Billboard 200 and the Billboard Hot 100. From Little Mix to Robin Thicke and The-Dream, there was much to discuss on the commercial front.
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.
By now, you’ve heard the news that Fantasia’s Side Effects of You album has debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200. However, she isn’t the only female superstar rocking the US charts this week. Both Pink and Rihanna made major moves on the Billboard Hot 100, thus proving that girl power is the name of […]
Justin Timberlake’s The 20/20 Experience is the top-selling already album of the year to date but don’t expect it to lose momentum on the US charts any time soon. In fact, more than month since its March 19th release, the record remains a force on the Billboard 200 and has officially been certified double platinum.
