Tech Talk Music: Digital Music Sales Surpassed Physical Sales In 2011!!

Digital music is the wave. It worked out great for Jay and Ye releasing only digital at first to prevent early leaks. I like to actually hold a cd even though I dont use them but it appears digital is the preference with the ratio compared to physical sales. Check out the stats after the jump. +TatWZA X @ShottaDru Shotta Dru on Google+ On Wed, Nov 23, 2011 at 10:44 PM, Dru Ashe wrote: +TatWZA X @ShottaDru Shotta Dru on Google+

Weekly Top 10 Album Sales … Christmas Rules The Charts Once Again

I really love doing the Billboard breakdown each week! Not sure why! Anyway, it’s no surprise that the week before Christmas, the holiday-themed albums ruled the charts once again. Michael Buble hit number one for the fourth week in a row with “Christmas,” selling 448k copies this week! A CHRISTMAS album has sold 1.96 million in less than 2 months! Kind of crazy! Hit the jump for the rest of the top 10. Marisa Mendez

As we rapidly approach Santa’s arrival, two out of the top 3 albums this week on the Billboard 200 are Christmas albums. The other being Adele, who has been going insanely strong for MONTHS now. Almost a year and it hasn’t dropped out of the top 10 once! Crazy. Also, congrats to Drake, Rihanna and Mary J. for staying in the top 10 with solid second week sales. Check out the full stats below.

Congrats to @JColeNC! “Cole World” is Officially Certified Gold!

Fresh on the heels of being nominated for Best New Artist for the 2012 Grammy’s, J. Cole has learned that his debut album, Cole World, has officially been certified gold! 2011 has been good to Cole and it looks like 2012 is going to be even better. And it’s much deserved! Congrats, Jermaine! Marisa Mendez


Top 10 Album Sales Week Ending 11/28/11 … Congrats To @Rihanna & @MaryJBlige For Their Top 5 Debuts!!

Talk That Talk is Rihanna’s sixth studio album…but can you believe she’s never hit number one on Billboard? She’s actually broken records with how many of her SINGLES have hit the top spot but she’s yet to do it with an album. There’s definitely still plenty of time, though! Either way, congrats to RiRi for debuting at number 3 with 197k units sold! Check out the rest of the top 10 below. Marisa Mendez
