Alicia Keys’ single, “No One” just went platinum this week.

1,047,039 units sold to date.

Record sales are still alive…somewhat.

One Republic’s Apologize produced by Timbaland is up to 1,594,439 sales this week. I predicted it would be huge, putting it on repeat when I first got the album. The single’s only growing, with an 8% increase from the previous week. Give it another month and you’ll hear it everywhere you go.

And honestly, the most complete surprise to me … Soulja Boy’s song Crank That is still selling above 100K units per week, is certified double platinum with 2,367,764 units sold to date.

How long can you Superman that ho before she gets tired of it? With a 14% increase in the single’s sales from the previous week…No One will.
ahh, shut up and crank that soulja boy.
