Just like last week and most of the time during the start of a new year, not a lot of new releases are happening on the album charts. I mean, we do have Rick Ross and Pharrell both dropping albums next week but we won’t see those album sales numbers for two weeks. Sidenote: I totally forgot that ScHoolboy Q and Kid Cudi both drop an album this week. We even reviewed ScHoolboy’s Oxymoron.
On another note, the Frozen Soundtrack is once again the #1 album in the country and has sold over a million copies. I guess I’ll watch that movie today and finally understand if I want to build a snowman.
