Only 1 #1 album so far in 2014 (Coldplay) has sold above the average of all these years. The decline would be pitiful if I'd finished this.
It's kinda crazy 400k per week was the average for a #1 album a decade ago.
One day I was hella bored and took how much the #1 album sold each week in a year, and then averaged all those weeks to see how much the average #1 album sold per year.

Only 1 #1 album so far in 2014 (Coldplay) has sold above the average of all these years. The decline would be pitiful if I'd finished this.
It's kinda crazy 400k per week was the average for a #1 album a decade ago.
At the weakest years being the ones beyonce released in. that thing is a pest to the music industry.
Kylegend released a new charity single. She is so giving, blessing her fans with this wonderful song in the aftermath of Listen To Me Once. Charity indeed!
Crystallize (It is a legit charity song, for One Note Against Cancer)
