Despite the fact Hurricane Sandy tore through the east coast the night before his album release day, cancelling many of his scheduled appearances and preventing people in his hometown and surrounding areas (where he’d likely get the strongest support) from going out to the stores and purchasing the album, Meek Mill still had a very strong debut on the charts with his first album. Dreams & Nightmares comes in at number 2 (damn you, Taylor Swift!) with a solid 165k units sold! Congrats! Get the rest of the top 10 below. Marisa Mendez
Billboard’s Top 10 Album Sales, Week Ending 10/29/12 … Congrats To @KendrickLamar On A #2 Debut!
Kendrick Lamar truly solidified his position in the game this week, moving over 240k units of his debut album ‘good kid, m.A.A.d City’ in its first week in stores. The Dr. Dre protege had some major cosigns in his corner, but it’s safe to say no amount of cosigns will take you THAT far. The kid has m.A.A.d. fans. Now of course he’s not even holding a torch to Taylor Swift’s number one debut Red this week, moving 1.2 MILLION units….but there is something to say about it being available for 99 cents on Amazon. No doubt she’d still be number one without that sale, but I’m just saying! Get the rest of the top 10 below. Marisa Mendez
Billboard’s Top 10 Album Sales, Week Ending 9.24.12 … G.O.O.D Music Makes A Strong Debut!
G.O.O.D Music’s debut compilation Cruel Summer would have topped the charts…if it wasn’t for Pink scoring her very first number one album ever. Both albums did very well, however, with Pink moving 280k units and Yeezy’s crew doing 205k. Congrats to both! The full top 10 below. Marisa Mendez

Trey Songz and DJ Khaled both released new albums last week, and subsequently, both are sitting high on the Billboard charts this week! At spots one and 4 respectively, making Khaled’s fourth top 10 album and Trigga’s first number one ever! Congrats to both! And oh my goodness….we finally see the day that Adele has slipped out of the top 10! What! Get the full top 10 below. Marisa Mendez
Top 10 Album Sales Week Ending 11/14/11…Congrats @MacMiller On Your Number 1 Album!!
Congrats to Mac Miller hitting the number one spot on Billboard’s Top 200 this week with the debut of his very first album, “Blue Slide Park,” moving 144k units! This isn’t the only good news for Miller, as it is also the first independently distributed debut album by an act to hit number one since 1995 (Tha Dogg Pound’s “Dogg Food”)! Crazy! Between debuts like his, Wale’s and J. Cole’s, it’s really looking like record sales are on the rise again! Check out the rest of the top 10 below. Marisa Mendez
