See the rest here.

Not Kreayshawn doing better than Chris Brown

Fiona getting paid dust despite all the initial acclaim.

Should be switched.

This looks pretty solid.

Kreayshawn deserved a score in the high 60s

Poor Chris.

I mean she's at a healthy #3 behind two later releases that were obviously more acclaimed.

Solange stays winning

Fortune ***** though,

Hmmmm wonder why it was poorly reviewed.

What kind of music does Frank sings? I've never heard a song from him.

Fiona
Miguel
Japandroids

R&B I think.

Poor Kreay.

All I saw was "Frank, Chris top.."

Fortune also appears to have the lowest user score of the year, how interesting.

Drag Blunderbuss. It's a piece of ****.

Kreyshawn will never have an album as good or better than Blunderbuss

He did not.
