The other four are Justin Bieber (17), Miley Cyrus (14), Hilary Duff (17) and LeAnn Rimes (15). Next week we will see the debut of tons of new projects, including Solange’s A Seat At The Table, Dave East’s Kairi Chanel and more! For now, check out this week’s full top 10 below!


The Numbers Are In! Find Out How Much Young Thug’s ‘Barter 6’ Sold The First Week!

Though Young Thug touted the controversial Barter 6 as just a mixtape, it was still made for sale on iTunes like Drake’s If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late – but unlike Drake, Thugger’s did not sell very well. After one week, Barter 6 debuts at a measly 26 on the Billboard 200, with just under 19,000 sold. In comparison, last week’s other semi-surprise release – Tyler, The Creator’s Cherry Bomb – sold 58k and debuted at number 4. Hopefully Thugger’s official debut fares a little better.
