This album deserve that one spot … hardest album i have heard this year.

what the fuck? 74 thousand people payed for a cd by sean kingston? wow

I’m in the Chi too and although we can be proud of Common Sense, the real victory here is that some quality and timeless music actually won out for a change.
Too add on to what gorillaunit said it’s not only the IPOD factor but the price of gas tends to take away from CD sales too. At least that’s what I gather from talking to music buyers.
Congratulations Rasheed!
Peace
