Out Singer Frank Ocean Tops R&B Chart
Newly out R&B star Frank Ocean debuted at the pinnacle of Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart this week. (I'm fairly sure this is the first time that an already out artist has achieved this.) In fact, Billboard's chart-watch column notes that Ocean's first week sales are more than three times what had been forecast before he came out. Ocean also debuted at #2 on the Top 200 Pop Albums chart.
