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



6. Fucked Up - David Comes To Life



7. The Weeknd - House of Balloons



8. Florence + The Machine - Ceremonials



9. James Blake - James Blake



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.

Xelle Takes Us on A Bronx Tale

By
       So this is the actual first time that you have formally sat down with us here at" UrbanInsider", we have had tons of conversations and work behind the scenes. In fact our history goes back all the way to 2018, I thought Xelle looked exactly like a young Michael Ealy, which is how he caught my attention. He had actually just got his big start in modeling with Vogue Magazine. However now people finally get to know the real you…    So let’s get right into it, who is Xel, where are you from, what drives you…. I'm from The South Bronx,  I grew up  between New York & Dominican Republic. Growing up there I always felt the overwhelming need to defend myself, life wasn't always sweet.   I absolutely think your music is the dopest unsigned hype on the internet, I tell you all the time.  Who have been the biggest musical influences that inspire your sound…..   Honestly, I grew up listening to all types of music , I'ma real...

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...
