drake and nicki did go platinum are you reading this right?
 
Niggas used to talk about lyrics or da music in general now all they do is talk about sales as if they sit at da head of any of these labels. Question, OP...are YOU recouping anything off of any of these sales??? A yes or no will suffice.

Yes, but top 7 slots of what though fam?
I'm amazed the music industry is even surviving
on those sales numbers. America is a massive media savvy country,
but the sales look more like over here [UK], or even smaller countries.
Damn.

I'm amazed the music industry is even surviving
on those sales numbers. America is a massive media savvy country,
but the sales look more like over here [UK], or even smaller countries.
Damn.

That's what I'm saying. I haven't looked at record sales in years but this shit is kinda depressing. Why even be a rapper nowadays and get on a major? These fools arent selling records AND they share their touring and merchandising money? Dummies.. :lol:
 
Yes, but top 7 slots of what though fam?

True indeed, comparatively speaking Nicki is doing ok with 600k, but I know that "Starships" went platinum as a single!

Damn at people being excited at those numbers. You know this is not the 80's

Yeah out of all tha niggaz who did Drake needs a dummy slap and kick to tha face for doing it.He had a huge buzz plus his mixtape that he added 2 new songs to and then released as an album ended up going gold.But since he already signed a deal that money had to be split up.He would of came up lovely if he would have sat back and figured out how to release his own material without a major.

Rick Ross Scores Fourth No. 1 Album with 'God Forgives, I Don't'
by Keith Caulfield, L.A. | August 08, 2012

As projected last week, rapper Rick Ross claims his fourth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 as "God Forgives, I Don't" bows atop the list with 218,000 sold according to Nielsen SoundScan.

That gives the Maybach mogul his best sales week yet, topping the 198,000 that "Trilla" opened with at No. 1 in 2008. Ross has previously led the chart with with 2006's "Port of Miami," "Trilla" and 2009's "Deeper Than Rap."

Ross has now collected more No. 1 albums than some rappers with longer histories on the Billboard 200: like Lil Wayne and Snoop Dogg, who both have three No. 1s. (Though, Ross is still far behind the man with the most No. 1s among all rap acts: Jay-Z, who has 12 toppers.)

The first-week sales of "God Forgives, I Don't" were also buoyed by Amazon MP3, which has priced the title for $5 for the entire month of August. The set sold 90,000 downloads last week and easily arrives at No. 1 on the Digital Albums chart.

Rick Ross' God Forgives, I Don't enters the Billboard 200 at #1. It's Ross' fourth #1 album out of five releases. His first three albums, Port Of Miami, Trilla and Deeper Than Rap, all debuted at #1. His last album, Teflon Don, debuted and peaked at #2 in July 2010. It was stopped by Eminem's smash album Recovery, which was then in its fifth week at #1.

If Teflon Don had sold just 11K more copies in the week ending July 25, 2010, it would have unseated Recovery from the #1 spot. If that had happened, Ross would this week be landing his fifth #1 album in a row, which would have enabled him to tie DMX's record as the only artist in chart history to reach #1 with its first five albums. (DMX achieved those #1 albums from May 1998 to September 2003.)

God Forgives, I Don't sold 218K copies this week, which is more than the next six albums on this week's chart combined. Only one rap or hip-hop album so far this year has sold more copies in one week. Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded sold 253K copies in its first week in April. This marks the biggest one-week sales tally of Ross' career. It breaks the mark he set in 2008 when Trilla sold 198K in its first week.

That shit was a damn mixtape and its sold 201k already? But if ya'll tell it the nigga is a failure because he didn't sell 500k.


But shit Def Jam had a nice 3 weeks. They got #1's from Frank Ocean, Nas and Rick Ross. And that GOOD Music compilation ain't dropped yet and 2 Chainz about to drop. Def Jam about to kill the game right now.

That's the real hustle. While everyone worries about the other says artists like Kem, Jill Scott, Chrisite Michelle, etc. go that 500,000 EVERYTIME.
I love Chrissette Michelle, but she has NEVER had an album sell 500,000 copies. Kem can get an album to 500k but not 600k - but he stays on tour slowly selling 1000 copies every week and has a work ethic like nobody else. Heck, even that last Jill Scott hasn't gotten past 350k. And they are at the TOP of the pure R&B sales food chain, so can you imagine how relatively poorly everyone else is doing?

:scared:
