And of course things will look completely different if we make a worldwide version. Half of these bitches wouldn't make it.

Oh I saw this list on UKmix a while ago. Oldbloke updates 2009's best-sellers every week I think. I'm pretty sure The Fame will be in the year's top five selling albums both in the U.S. and worldwide.
