look at how low the sales are. Carey may have sold a few thousand, Weller under 30k. I think, there is nobody out there buying albums, except me, an 53 year old boring , the people my age ate buying the albums, nobody else.

After 121 weeks on the chart Whitney Houston's Ultimate Collection is RIGHT BELOW Madonna's new album Rebel Heart. I wonder where Whitney will rank on the year-end chart AGAIN with this album. It's been on the chart the entire year.
