So what? Same thing with the albums, it's still harder to get a #1 on the Hot 100 (even if I'd prefer to get a #1 album FIRST).

The Billboard 200. Most people are here for album sales I presume.

[Digitalism]

number 1 albums of 2011 that nobody cares about

Showroom of Compassion - Cake : 44.000
Mission Bell - Amos Lee: 40.000
The Light of the Sun - Jill Scott : 135.000
The RED album - Game 98.000
Evanescence Evanescence : 127.000

a number one doesn't mean anything, sales and inpact are what matters
For the general public it doesn't matter if an album hits number one or not

Its harder to get a #1 album too, ask Rihanna. (No shade intended) she had over 10 #1's and many artists too.

id rather have long term sales and number ones songs. usher and chris debuted at number 1 with sales less than 150k, rihannas done more than that on her last 4 albums. so bb200 #1 is not that important, we even have albums that debut at number one and are still flops, madonna for example.

[Riha'love]

Someone can sold a lot and being #2 on BB200 and in another time someone with poor sales can be #1

The sales are more important than the two, then HOT 100 because it's more difficult to have sales + radio in the same time before peaking in one of them

BB 200
Anyone can have a hit but only a well known established artist can have a #1 album

[Benzene]

Obviously the BB200. Some of the biggest acts in the country will never get #1 singles simply because they lack the radio support (see Taylor Swift).

[h.u.r.r.i.c.a.n.e]

Both, actually.

[Beyond The Fierce]

Both charts are important, but hitting #1 isn't that important. Especially, when you have a very consistent chart run.

I'll go with Billboard 200 since Albums > Singles, in general.

[UnusualBoy]

At this time, I'd day that top the H100 since your song gotta be massive so it can reach #1, right now any album selling around 100k can top de chart

You can't use Rihanna as an argument here - she could very easily get a #1 album, her label just stupidly released her last three on Black Friday week.

Both are important, one shows your fanbase and the other shows general public support.

That's such a valid point and something that I've been trying to say for ages but never have I been able to put it into once sentence. Thankyou! haha

[NewRihannaStan]

I think they are both equally important but peoplw with this Rihanna shade is not cute... The real shade is how can a number 3 album outsell a number one album????
