Billboard's Critics' Picks: 10 Best Albums of 2011

By



1. Adele - 21



2. Bon Iver - Bon Iver



3. Jay Z & Kanye West - Watch The Throne



4. Frank Ocean - Nostalgia, Ultra.



5. Drake - Take Care

10. The Joy Formidable - The Big Roar

Here is how it works Billboard Year- End CHarts take in sales of December (previous year) - November (Current Year) to create their Year End Charts.

MEANING:

Last Week Of November is the LAST week that is apart of the Year End Chart for that year.

So that's why you see albums like:

Pink Friday
Loud
MBDTF
Speak Now
The Gift

On the Top of the Billboard Year End charts because they were ALL released the Last few weeks of November which means ALL of their sales minus maybe a week of 2 were factored into their ranking.

Which is WHY, they charted higher than albums that came out in 2011 (they factor in that last month of sales in December, which alot of artists get Holiday Sale Boosts...)


The Top 20 on Billboard 200 year end album chart only has 4 2011 albums in it

Adele - The Career Slayer
Gaga - 1 million first week
Wayne - 950k+ first week
Jay & Ye - Fourth 2011 album to go Platinum.

Billboard clocked this long time ago anyway... you fags just need to stop trying to understand something you CLEARLY have no business dabbling in

Code:
Due to this methodology, albums at the peak of their popularity at the time of the November/December chart-year cutoff many times end up ranked lower than one would expect on a year-end tally (2010), yet are ranked on the following year's chart as well (2011), as their cumulative points are split between the two chart years.

Sometimes, the best-selling album of the year of Billboard is different than best-selling album of the year of Nielsen SoundScan, because Billboard calculates the year from December to November and Nielsen calculates the year from January to December.

Spotlight On:The New It Girl Jessica Burciaga

By
She has it all from the girl next door appeal, to extreme sex appeal. I first took notice of her when I saw the Jamie Foxx ft Drake "Fall For Your Type" video and to be honest I had to take a sceond glance because I really thought that she was JLO. It wasnt until recently when I actually found out who this stunning beauty is who looks like she could be Jennifer Lopez's little sister. Jessica Burciaga (born April 11, 1983) is an American model . Her father is Mexican and her mother is French and Irish . She was selected to be Playboy's February 2009 Playmate of the Month .   I think we are just starting to see the beginning of the beautiful Jessica, and that she has alot more in store......

Miami Turns It Up Another Notch — IG Boy Baddies: Then & Now (ft. Cloutio B)

By
IG BOY BADDIES — like Marcello Alvarez, Rico Hundo, Reek.Ivan, Deven Hubbard, Renzo Dinero, Don Benjamin a Chicago native who we worked with as well and a legit ton of others. From 2019’s Model Peak to a 2025 feed that feels anything but the same. In 2025, only a few still hit at model level — Ethan Mouzon and ONE_RALPH. Where have all our quality male baddies gone? UrbanInsiderMag: You came up inside that wave—2019’s model-grade Boy-Baddie peak to today’s crowded feed. In 2025, only a few still truly hit: Ethan Mouzon and ONE_RALPH. How does that land with you? Cloutio: It tracks. I started when IG felt scarce and intentional. Now the volume is higher, but there are still guys who keep it special. Ethan and ONE_RALPH have the discipline and the eye—that’s the bar. UrbanInsiderMag: Where have all our quality male baddies gone? Cloutio: A lot of people are posting; fewer are building. Quality takes intention—light, training, taste, pacing. The look didn’t disappear; the commitment...

Urban Insider Takes a Look Inside Hoopstar Deven’s World

By
One of the things I like most about choosing the people I work with, is that I come across the most amazing people with the best stories to tell. Recently I caught up with Mr.Deven Hubbard of Atlanta, GA, he is young and doing it all, if you follow him on IG like I do you can see he dominates the social world all the way to L.A. So it’s no surprise that the photogenic athlete has caught the modeling world’s attention as well, he has an inspiring positive attitude that will serve him well on the successful path he is on. You don’t have to take my word for it, when he tells his own story so well…… Q:Let's start with talking about where you are from for the people who just might be getting familiar with who you are.......... A: For the ones that don't know me as much, I'm from Atlanta, Ga. East Atlanta to be exact! People from my hood mostly just see me as the regular Deven before basketball and everything, some glorify me and also you have those individu...
