The last week of album sales numbers for 2014 are in, and to no surprise, Taylor Swift once again finishes on top, as she moved another 430,000 copies with streams of her album, 1989. Swift's album has now accumulated 12 nonconsecutive weeks of over 200,000-plus sales, something that hasn't been accomplished since Usher's Confessions album in 2004.
Aside from Taylor, hip-hop put forth another strong showing this week on the charts with Fabolous' digital album, The Young OG Project, debuting in the top 12 with 71,000 copies sold. J. Cole continued his quest towards Platinum status for 2014 Forest Hills Drive with another strong week of sales that totaled 120,000 units with streams included. Nicki Minaj's album, The Pinkprint, also held strong this week, as she moved another 156,000 units with streams in the project's second week of sales. The full list of sales numbers for the last week of the year can be found on Billboard's site here.
