With “Live Your Life” and “Whatever You Like” still sitting charting well, T.I.’s continues to put up solid numbers. In its 9th week, The Paper Trail scans 74, 792 CDs- bringing its grand total to 1, 303, 834 units sold.

Fresh off being crowned the Hook Man G.O.A.T by Akon, T-Pain is slowly moving towards a third consecutive gold plaque. This week, the Nappy Boy moves 48, 679 copies. Thr33 Ringz has sold 278, 318 CDs to date.
