A #1 Album. It is cute to have a #1 single but the point of a single is to promote your album. Its sad if you have a #1 single but don't get a #1 album because that means people aren't interested in you as a artist. Someone buying your album, your WHOLE boy of work, means that they are interested in you as an artist, not just for "now". Someone buying your album is probably the biggest and nicest gesture an artist can get.
Since when a number 1 album means that people are interested in you as an artist?
There are number 1 albums with <45.000 sales: http://music-mix.ew.com/2011/02/02/a...elling-topper/
Think of something smart to shade Rihanna (her albums sell more than many number one albums).
We are on the singles era with no albums sales like the 80's-90's.
On the other hand singles sales are huge.
Take a look at the list of best selling singles worldwide.
Most of them are released in the 00's.
Right now THE SINGLES can give you a chance to be remembered after 10 years.
Everyone talks about bad romance, only girl and single ladies but no one about the fame monster, loud and iasf.
Just try to forget for a second that you are on ATRL.
This will help you to see more clear what i said.
Album. It shows people want the whole product rather than just a song. I mean, a #1 song is great to have, but it doesn't prove much. All my faves have had a #1 album EXCEPT RIHANNA

Funny thing is, 2/3 were nominated for ALBUM OF THE YEAR.
Take a seat.
Also, no one talks about Only Girl. Whats My Name remains the most popular song on the album.
