And this is the exact reason that Fun. losing Album of the Year was a big deal. They wouldve sold about what Babel did this week if they had won. Same thing happened with Adele last year. It blasted back up to number 1 with like 250,000 sold in one week and stayed there for a while. People want to have the album of the year

Good for the Lumineers. That album is trucking along wonderfully.

Man, if Macklemoore had only come out ten years ago they'd be killing it. The album isn't even gold but the single is like 6x platinum I think...?

Alabama Shakes also did about 26,000 this week. That number could even rise after their amazing SNL performance.

Yay for fun. I'm a bit disappointed that T. Swift sold that much last week.

This is a dumb question but I can't seem to find the answer on the google machine. Do vinyl sales count towards these numbers?

im kinda impressed with the blink ep selling 112k. No publicity, no US shows to support it, and only available on itunes.
Still, if this were ten years ago it would have already gone gold.
