[two zero five]

Came in here to see Vol... 2 HKL.

 

[dipsetgeneral]

How's Vanilla ice go broke selling that much off of one album? Salt & Peps should be hella good too.

We will never see this in the iTunes or digital era.

 

[Platinum State]

Damn Nelly 6.5+8.5. on his first two albums.

 

[JRaW’d]

not surprised by this list.

some sales of a few of these albums actually have to do with the music that was put forth.

as for the others, ALOTTA politics...

 

[rico x hood]

So Eminem is the best Selling rapper of all time?

 

[diabolicaldeezy]

Damn Nelly 6.5+8.5.

on his first two albums.

Was Getting It Bruh... Folks Sleep On Nelly Like They Wasnt Bumpin E.I., Hot in Here At The House Parties..

These are only US sales, some of these albums sold 2-6 million more

 

[lamekilla]

Get rich or die trying though

And of course Speakerboxx/The love below went diamond. What highschool pep rally/sporting event/ gym headphones weren't playing hey ya?

Same way Hammer went broke. Spending more than your making.

Andre 3000 



Dude was solely responsible for that imo...but the Big Boi single prb brought an extra 500,000 or so. 

I'd give "I Like The Way" a little more credit than that. That record was pretty big.

[Magic33]

Didn't know Shoop and Whattaman sold that much, but I should have known. Those songs were everywhere.

Didn't know Will sold that much either

The rest was predictable

I wonder what the worldwide sales look like

The Beasties sold more than that, because of how albums were scanned back then with mom and pops

 

[dathbgboy]

Shocked Me Against the World isn't up there but that only moved over 3m units as of 2011
