THA CARTER IV SELLS..... 760,918 copies

Yo, when you think about it, that's crazy as fuck. He almost went double plat in one weeks time. Has anybody ever sold that much in that time frame?

nopes but country gramma had me like :eek: that shit sold like 1 copy when it came out then 3 copies 2nd week, then 8 copies 3rd week, then 800k 4th week, 2moths later mofo was selling a mill a week:lol:
 
Im not in NY anymore for long periods of time but find it hard to believe that the 'streets', whoever the street people are playing this.

Guess my defintion of the streets is different. Im alittle older so cats Im around when Im up top not rocking with Lil Wayne. They D Blocked out right now, mixtape types.

The streets usually not really buying music. Streets usually on the next next hot underground raw thing.

Buyers are teens, and white kids mostly. Cats my rock certain songs and alot of that is radio time......

Like I said Im glad for the brother just dont get the streets thing cause thats not what those numbers represent. That represents Suburban streets, MTV streets, top 40 radio channel streets. Which in no way do I downplay cause thats where its at.

people in the streets download, too... they might not buy the album, but everybody has a copy, straight up :lol:

That phenomenon can be explained by...

1 mil


followed by...

800k


then...

3 million


Once white folk got a hold of that song... :itsawrap:
 
So is anyone gonna prove that he bought up his own records?? or the fact that anyone has tried to manipulate their number since soundscan was put into place :confused: im still waiting
 
hold on.


are niggas really comparing nelly to 50 cent and lil wayne when it comes to record sales?


???????????????????????????????????

That's because there was no (real) promotion behind the album. I remember seeing that shit on the rack and I'm like who the fuck is Nelly (pass....).
 
I'm sure Nelly sold WAY more than 50 in his run.
he did 50s third and 4th album fucked his sale up
Damn! Did he? I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised. That Country Grammer album was a Cac record execs wet dream come true. :lol::lol::lol:
The album was a mainstream success. It debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 and went on to peak at #1 by selling 235,000 copies on its number one week. The album is Nelly's best-selling album to date, selling over 8.4 million copies in the United States and is the 10th highest album of the decade. Billboard Magazine also rated the album # 10 on their Top 200 Albums Of The Decade[9] Nelly signed to Universal Records in 1999, he recorded his debut Country Grammar in 1999 and 2000. He then released the single "Country Grammar (Hot Shit)" at the start of 2000 and the success of the single (#7 on the Hot 100 and #1 Hot Rap Tracks) led to the album debuting at number three on the Billboard 200 in the U.S and later reaching the number 1 spot a few weeks later. On April 24, 2001, Nelly released the single "Ride wit Me", featuring his cousin and fellow St. Lunatic City Spud. The song peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became his highest charting single at that time. The album was certified 9Ă— platinum by the RIAA on April 27, 200

agree with that, business wise nobody is fucking with 50. nelly dropped the ball big time. if it wasnt for apple bottom the nigga wouldnt have shit
 
I don't usually come into these dump ass threads, but facts are facts: lil wayne, drake, nikki, rick ross & ye(no collabos) runs hip-hop, more so with wayne.

I'm in my 30's & YMCMB is all I hear these youngins playing. Wayne is far more relevant to the skinny jeans wearing generation, just like jay appeal to the jersey wearing gen. From Nyc to Philly to Charlotte.......this is the music my nieces and nephews are listening to (like it or not). Music is generational. His team are the reigning kings.

I don't get the hate?
Otis was the worst shit i've heard in a while and i'm an up-north cat.

Funk flex took bribes to play a lot of rocafella shit, everybody does it.
