The Numbers Game: Big Sean, Juicy J, & Goodie Mob

Big Sean

This week we saw albums hit the charts from Big Sean & Juicy J. Both landed towards the top of the charts selling around 70,000 copies but it feels like they both should have did over a 100,000. You can check out our review of Big Sean’s Hall of Fame here. I guess we’ll review Juicy J’s Stay Trippy sooner or later.

An album I have yet to listen to is Goodie Mob‘s Age Against The Machine. It’s their first album together as a full group in 14 years. I guess I’ll get around to it eventually but I’m a little nervous. Goodie Mob’s Age Against The Machine lands at #30 and sell 10,000 units.
