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.

Urban Insider talks Model Behavior with Mr. Alex Dominguez of RED Models NYC

With it now being officially spring and actually feeling like it, I thought what better way to celebrate than bringing in a little model behavior. Models often showcase the best of what the average person aspires to look like, from the clothes, the height, and even their hair. We chatted with Mr. Alex Dominguez for the proper insight, and here are our results....... Tell us a little about yourself such as where you are from, age, and for those who aren't familiar what agency you are currently signed with..... I was born Alexander P Dominguez in Washington DC on December 4th, and have resided in Prince George's county Maryland for most of my life. I graduated from Frostburg State university with a degree in Criminal Justice. I come from a good traditional Filipino family, and I am presently represented by RED model management NY. What was it and when was it that make you first take an interest in becoming a male model..... I really had no intentions of

Spotlight On:The New It Girl Jessica Burciaga

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......
