Sucks wayne aint make it to 3x plat.

Anthony Hamilton is that dude

Good for T.I. to sell that much before he did his bid
 
When Foxx releases Blame It ft T-Pain as a single and video, that should push him to Gold, and another single or two can get him to Platinum.

He was never hot.

Hip hop and rap #'s are low because they don't have loyal fanbases. Country #s will always be good b/c they are homegrown talent that the people willsupport whether they are good or mediocre.

It's well-known that if you want to get paper, get in the country music scene...why you think JessicaSimpson made a country album?

Everybody is hurting though. Actually everyone but Weezy. He's the only guy who outsold his previous album and by about 2 million. Pop music is alwaysgonna do well because its the most popular music. Country will do well as well because they have the most loyal fanbase. Country fans only buy quality albums.They don't F with none of these singers who try to hop on the country bandwaggon.

He's popular but some cats just don't sell. He's the type of artist who will sell millions of ringtones and singles but people justdon't go out and buy his album. I don't know if its a matter of how many albums Jive ships out or what but even he predicted these numbers which iscrazy to me because I thought he was more popular than ever.
 
For some reason I thought Beyonce was doing terrible because I ain't heard no one talk about her album or anything.
 
T-Pain is on every other song that plays and thats all he did.LMFAO

And those Common numbers are pretty good.
Yeah really. He'll probaly do gold in the long run. Finding forever was like that, but it eventually passed 700,000. The biggest problem withUMC is that the album was just awful, and this is coming from one of commons biggest fans.

I knew ye would pass a mil though. Honestly those two live performances probably killed his sales.

"Finding Forever" sold 155,000 in the first week. "UniversalMind Control" has sold 176,000 in a little over a month.

I don't see "Universal Mind Control" going gold.
