Hey, it's still time for you to go buy that remaining 35.000... just playing loc.

T.I. stepped up to definite A-list with King, any T.I. album from now on, will go at least platinum without any effort.
The features is a good indication, when you can get blockbuster names like Jigger, Busta, Wyclef, Eminem, Nelly on your album, the album sells itself.
I knew T.I. was capable of it ever since I heard "I'm Serious" with Beenie Man, he is now officially the Jay-Z of the South, like his aim was from the start.

Looks like having a hit single doesnt mean shit anymore; T-Pain and Rihaana had one and they both flopped big time. On the other hand T.I. wasnt even close yet he did these numbers.

Anyways, props to T.I., he deserves it.

Yeah but the charts show that R&B albums can have slow starts and pick up quickly (Fergie, Robin Thicke, Corrine Bailey Rae). Rap albums seem to have a couple of weeks of shelf and chart life and it is downhill from there. Even rap albums that have had a good first week sales are struggling to go gold now. But yeah congrats to T.I., hopefully now this will kickstart rap again saleswise.
