In today’s music world, it seems like everybody either knows or wants to know the weekly sales figures of their favorite artists. Even your everyday fan knows a stat or two about whose album went platinum or whose album flopped. Well, with today’s current sales figures steadily going down, we at nappyafro.com think it’s important to keep the people informed (While I personally think first week sales importance are way overblown, but people still wanna known. What do you do?). Welcome to our new weekly column, The Numbers Game, where every week we give you the figures of The Billboard 200 (Album Sales). Enjoy.
