T-Pain’s Epiphany Takes Billboard Number One Spot, Rihanna Lands At Number Two
T-Pain’s sophomore set “Epiphany” sold 171,000 copies during it’s debut week, taking it to the top the Billboard 200. The LP has already spawned the hit single “Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin’). Rihanna’s over-promoted “Good Girl Gone Bad” barely edged out Paul McCartney’s “Memory Almost Full” selling 162,000 sets, according to Nielsen SoundScan figures. The opening sets a record for Rihanna-”Good Girl Gone Bad” has the highest first-week sales of all of Rihanna’s three albums.

This is total Bullsh%&.
How in the hell is Rihanna not number 1?
This album is so damn good what the frigging hell?
And it wouldnt be bad if she was number 2 if she sold more than 162,00 copies.
That is ridiculous. She should have at the very least sold over 200,000 albums.
This is so puzzling, UMBRELLA is the biggest song of the year worldwide.

I think Jay may have over-promoted her this time. She’s been on the cover of everything. She performed on every series from TRL to 106 & Park-I think people are just a little tired of seeing her right now.
Sales will probably pick up in the next few weeks.
