The machine called Susan Boyle moved another 661,227 copies of her I Dreamed A Dream album bringing her total to over 2.5 Million records sold in the US alone.  Robin Thicke did pretty decent moving 122,862 copies of his Sex Therapy album.

Sugar i don’t get what ur saying ! Chris made a mistake in what he said. His cd was actually overshelved at stores. So he apologized for that. The scandal however did hurt his sales ! And thats that !

Very good for Susan and Alicia! I’m glad AK did well so people can stop blaming the economy for embarrassing sales. People will buy good music. Love her album and Robin’s as well.

I guess the “Hard” video is what prompted people to go cop Rih’s album. Good for her too.

Yup they’re all doin good i’m glad for A.Keys bcuz she’s talented. And Alicia has a strong fanbase also. Every since “Lost Without You” Robin has been doin good things. Both his last two albums the last 1 and the new 1 have sold over 120k. Plus his 1st album almost went like double-platinum !
