monica's label admitted that if they had not undershipped her cd (because they thought she wasn't going to sell), she would've beaten justin and gotten the number 1 spot. And besides, not being number 1 doesn't mean she lost to anything. Hell, most artist who are bigger than she is can't even a get a number 2 album in the country. Let alone sell what she did in her first week. And that's good for a pretty much all r&b record. Monica is now over the 200k mark with her second week sales. And if she continues to sell like she is, she'll be goo on gold or platinum.
