Arguably the most anticipated release this year, Kanye West & Jay-Z come in at #1 with “Otis” – they also sold over half a million albums this week so no surprise here. The rest of the top 5 includes some new faces (Steffaloo, Flight Facilities) and some repeat appearances (Asher Roth, Girls). Enjoy.

4. Girls, “Vomit” (Video) (Indie Rock)
