Nah Right

Here is the list of top selling albums for 2005. As you can see rap artists grabbed 4 spots on the list, which is 3 more than last year when Em held the lone spot with Encore.  Two of the 4 albums on this years list were garbage and two of them were pretty good. I think you can guess which two I didn’t like.

1.) "The Massacre" 50 Cent 4,805,105
2.) "The Emancipation of Mimi" Mariah Carey 4,576,141
3.) "Breakaway" Kelly Clarkson 3,182,857
4.) "American Idiot" Green Day 3,163,741
5.) "Monkey Business" Black Eyed Peas 2,719,642
6.) "X&Y" Coldplay 2,503,914
7.) "Love.Angel.Music.Baby" Gwen Stefani 2,381,327
8.) "Documentary" The Game 2,260,162
9.) "Late Registration" Kanye West 2,250,854
10.) "Feels Like Today" Rascal Flatts 2,154,647

What will 2005 bring for these artists? Will 50 release another album this year? If he does, it’s a safe bet that it’ll go platinum, but will it outsell The Massacre? Game’s next album, The Doctor’s Advocate, is scheduled for release in early 2006, but will it match the success of the Documentary? How will this new beef with his brother, and his obsessive campaign against G-Unit play with his fans? And what about Kanye? He has his work cut out for him over at his G.O.O.D. label, will he be able to balance his other artists projects as well as his 3rd joint, Graduation? I could care less what the Black Eyed Peas do, hopefully they’ll go away and not come back.
