Leading the way was the double-CD set "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below," comprising a solo collection from each of the two OutKast performers -- Antwan "Big Boi" Patton and Andre "3000" Benjamin.

The album sold 510,000 units its first week in stores to rank No. 1 on the Billboard 200, as well as the R&B, rap and alternative rock charts. It also marked the fourth-biggest opening of any album this year.



DAMN!!! Thats huge!

But since it's a double, doesn't that mean it really sold 255,000 copies?

That only pertains to RIAA when the album gets certified. Billboard/soundscan numbers are the ACTUAL number sold.

By RIAA standards, it's already Platinum.

I thought Billboard got their figures from RIAA. Dunno.
