Not yet.

But he sold more than Usher, Chris Brown, Miguel and Trey-isha Songz.

His album might have sold more than usher's and other R&B artists but still his sales are nothing to brag about considering the hype and the praise he got.

Below the R&B albums that are selling the most as of last week.

At the end of the day...
Gold album >> No certification
92 on Metacritic >> 86
#1 critically aclaimed album of 2012>>> Nowhere near the top 10
a platinum single>>> a gold single
Frank >> Miguel

This sums up their struggles pretty well.
I mean they are trying to drag Frank, which is ok, but for god's sake try to do it with someone other than Miguel

He already outsold them though, many of them by hundreds of thousands of copies. He don't need to push more units... they are playing catch up, remember?

Mr. Wonder

He's the new Queen of R&B.

Well, boo, we're not talking about the future, we're talking about right now... And right now, Frank is selling more than all them other "n-words" and Rita Slora for that matter... How he got a gold certified in the UK and she don't?

You need huge commercial success to be a prince.

Frank Ocean is simply not one.

Flashing Lights

Miguel is WAY better.
