For the second straight week, Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp A Butterfly was the most purchased album in the land.
According to Billboard, TPAB moved 123,000 copies, sales and steaming, giving it just under 500,000 in sales since it was released a little more than two weeks ago.
Action Bronson's debut album Mr. Wonderful moved 49,000 copies in its first week. This was a little better than initially projected, and good for seventh on the Billboard chart.
Earl Sweatshirt's I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside sold 33,020, right in line with projections. Sweatshirt has criticized Sony's roll out of the album.
Drake's mega hit If You're Reading This It's Too Late remained in the top ten, selling 44,000 copies. The album/mixtape will likely go Platinum this month.
