Albums Don’t Mean What They Once Did Sadly: Now the way we listen to music is way different than we used to we use playlists instead of listening to a full album like you supposed to I mean really a playlist of different songs instead of listening to an album song by song I’m sorry there’s something wrong about that I mean I want to listen to a whole project before I go buy the CD yes I still buy

The season isn’t the only thing shifting right now. Musical tastes seem to be traveling along the same path. After a Hip Hop heavy summer, the album charts are being dominated by R&B.

A$AP Rocky’s highly anticipated debut album, Long.Live.A$AP, debuted at number one upon its release. This marks the first hip hop album to land in the top spot so far in 2013. Competition was pretty weak, with the latest “Kidz Bop” album finishing second, but 140,000 copies sold is still a strong debut.

Wiz Khalifa’s new album O.N.I.F.C. placed high on the chart in it’s debut appearance this week. The sophomore effort, which stands for “Only N---- In First Class,” came in second on the charts behind Taylor Swift’s album, Red.
