RELATED: Release Dates
LOL at Hudson sales. Maybe if she agreed to buy some of her own albums, she wouldn’t be in such low sales. She not about that and as a result, fell the fuck off. Expect her to get dropped by RCA.
And Chris brown bombing again. GOOD! Someone who beats up fans and shoves them does not deserve success.
you can’t put website trolling on a resume loser
“Maybe if she agreed to buy some of her own albums, she wouldn’t be in such low sales”
right……..cuz if rca bought 20,000 copies that means 30,000 more people will go buy it next week….
Yeah the stupid idiot believes that spending money on buying albums makes more sense than spending money on promoting the album…..what an idiot.
Either way, J Hud. bombed.
Also, RCA heavily promoted JHUD yet barely manage to make the top ten LOL!
Nobody didn’t even know Jennifer was releasing an album, what heavy promo?
Look at those number big fail flop flop flop no gold nada just straight flop flop flop blaaaaaah
We’re at October and there hasn’t been one rap album that even went gold. Maybe with upcoming releases from Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, and Kendrick Lamar, sales can improve.
Mastermind at gold right now. Also, Kendrick won’t be going gold. His single bombed.
Mastermind is not at gold and Kendrickwill be going gold, hell, he’ll do more than gold. His single did not bomb at all.
Mastermind at 375K todate, That at Gold!
500K is gold and Mastermind ain’t even sold 400K.
GFID still aint gold
GFID is actually gold.
Sales are obsolete to fans nowadays, that short era is over, now people are more concerned with the production and the features on the album in addition to the quality of the songs.
look at the numbers and read the comments & see it’s nothing but sh*t talking from a bunch of non-buying music “fans”
Blog geeks dont count, I meant real people.
Label execs still care about those numbers. Even factoring in downloading, the money it costs to make these albums remains high. There are no next times, or we’ll take this one on the chin for you. Hudson flopped. Then again, J Lo flopped.
Jennifer Hudson? LMFAO you BEGGING FOR ATTENTION
school’s almost out, you don’t see less than 20 comments now means they AIN’T F*CKING WITH YOU TEETH-BOY
NO MONEY TODAY PAID COMMENTER, MOVE ON
250k is the new gold. 500k is like platinum these days
Until Billboard makes that official, 250k is still just 250k, and 500k and above is where the bar is still set.
Gold is 501K
Nobody didn’t even know Jennifer was releasing an album, what heavy promo?
That’s right, nobody didn’t know, meaning that everyone knew jennifer was releasing an album. I saw heavy poromotion everywhere. Sites, and even promo in NYC.
Your comprehension sucks. Nobody knew that Jennifer Hudson released an album and there was no heavy promo anywhere. You didn’t see anything.
The reason why it wasn’t heavily promoted was because her singles bombed and her voice sucks. If she had drake on her single, it would have at least done a bit better. Drake is like the new prince these days (the old one is bombing hard despite 2 albums.)
JHud flopping is all because her label were being lazy and her voice doesn’t suck (weren’t you praising her a couple of weeks ago?) If Drake, who does not have any of the talents that Prince (who isn’t bombing) has, were on her shit, she would’ve done the same numbers. Putting a popular artist on your shit doesn’t automatically help sales.
Where did I praise her? All I said that resembles any positivity is that she doesn’t buy her own albums and as a result took an l. And Prince is bombing. 40k vs over 650 for drake’s latest album LOL. JHUD might have done 50k at least if drake was on her shit.
Look back at your shit, you praised her and now you’re backtracking. Prince ain’t bombing. He already sold millions of records, Drake has a lot of catching up to do to match Prince’s total numbers. JHud would’ve done the same numbers if Drake was on her album. Again, putting Drake on an album doesn’t automatically help sales.
Where did I praise her albino? 40k is bombing. Drake is making it big.
I’m not the albino, though. You stole that from another troll. At least come with originality when you troll. Also, Prince is indie, so no bomb. Drake ain’t making it big when others did bigger.
You mean bruthadee? He ain’t a troll. Just stating facts. Prince is signed to warner music group so he aint indie.
No, Bruthadee is a troll like you and he didn’t state any facts. Prince isn’t signed to Warner, they just handle distribution.
nigga gold is 500,000 or more
if your at 350-450,000 that shit still aint gold…
out of all rick ross cds only 1 went plat and one “really” went gold
and the only reason one of em even plat cus it came out so long ago
you don’t have to like him, but if you can sell records consistently enough to go platinum in 10 years, you’re doing something right. ross is consistent with his sales regardless. furthermore, you have no idea what you’re talking about. gold is 500,000 SHIPPED. 50,000 outstanding copies may have been shipped to retail outlets, but have not been bought by consumers yet. that doesn’t change the fact that warner brothers got paid.
400,000 copies sold gets u a certified gold plaque and I think either 750 or 800k gets u a certified platinum plaque
and ross as a solo artist is on def jam not warner
n they couldn’t have made much money off the last two albums
you tell them armchair record executive!
“out of all rick ross cds only 1 went plat and one “really” went gold”
Ross has ZERO platinum albums and like 3-4 gold ones
“400,000 copies sold gets u a certified gold plaque and I think either 750 or 800k gets u a certified platinum plaque”
how dumb are you?
….apparently not as dumb as you are sir you do know how to read, right?
they make the plaques once an album hits a number close to gold or platinum
juelz Santana got a platinum plaque when what the games been missing got up to 750-800k
Iggy the only one doing well.
Your comprehension sucks. Nobody knew that Jennifer Hudson released an album and there was no heavy promo anywhere. You didn’t see anything.”
An excuse Albinos make up when their favorite white disguised as black artist bombs.
What the fuck are you talking about? Albinos? Look in the mirror before judging someone’s appearance. And what I said wasn’t an excuse, it’s a fact.
Aw did I hurt your feelings albino? JHUD isn’t even doing 50 numbers, if you want to find something to praise about him. Understand though, most people prefer rozay over 50.
I’m not even albino, that’s you, and you were the one with hurt feelings coming back with laughably childish insults. Also, that last shit ain’t true.
You sure acted all pissed when I called you albino. It’s true.
J.Hudson will get dropped from RCA and forced into an indie career. She can’t even sell 50 numbers.
Where exactly did I act all pissed? You just childishly called me something that I’m not, I called you out on it and you got mad.
Albino’s getting mad again LOL!!
Basically, you’re saying you’re getting mad. LOL you destroyed yourself, white troll.
I’m not one though. Why accuse me of being an albino? Im black btw/
This coming from someone calling other people white/albino. LMAO the irony.
BRUTHADEE ALERT!!
if you white, blonde and blue eyes you are a modern day albino that came from the African Women many many many years ago So the white race is basically teenage mutant evil nergos
You cant really blame lack of promo for Jennifer’s sales..blame the lack of successful singles. They none made a connection to the fans. I knew her album was coming out (i would research it often because im such a big fan). She did the Today Show, Wendy, Good Morning America concert series, performed at the BET awards etc. So she had promo. The music on it just isnt any good! At least a great lead single could have helped but for her to debut at number 10, i promise thats the last time that album see’s the top ten. It has already come and gone and its such a shame!
Exactly, she had tons of promo. It’s just that her album sucked and her fans moved on to someone els.e
Tons of promo? She didn’t even have a lot of promo.
But if she had done 100k, you would say she got tons of promo right? She bombed idiot.
No, I’d still say the same thing I always said.
if you thought Jennifer Hudson was gonna get the platinum package promotion, get the single spun 5k times on radio and they ship out 500k units to be sold then you out your rabbit ass mind and really need to stop talking about the music business
I’d be very surprised if they even printed up 75k of the CD
She dropped big from 165k sold though
Hudson has a big enough name where she shouldn’t need promo. he problem isn’t her music, it’s her. People simply grew tired of her and those Weight Watchers commercials. It changed how fans saw her.
Including digital, Mastermind did over 400K. That’s without a hit single.
lmao thats with a bunch of flopped singles,
jay-z single
hyped up sucka ass reunion with jeezy 1 year after threatening to choke him out
hyped up kanye and mustard record
lil wayne single
not even gold LMAO
Stop with the BS! many singles flop before the album was released and mastermind at 375K todate sellin bout 200 hundred copies a week it aint even reaching 400K lol
Nicki will flop hard pills n potion flop.anaconda flop.iggy fancy 4x plat. Black widow 2xplat nicki is done
she wont sell more singles than iggy but she will sell more albums
White girl outselling all you niggaz LMAO!
Nicki will flop hands down
Damn nobody buys cd’s anymore its a wrap it looks like. Only a few ppl can sell. Nikki is going to flop forsure. Nobodys checking for her and her singles are not getting any heavy play.
look at the pussies bigging up iggy
So far MaterMind is the best selling Rap album of 2014, at about 400K, not bad for an album with no pop features or white features. Its sad that this Australian albino bitch is over here mimicking our culture for profit with her invented accent.
He ain’t even close to 400K.
“not even gold LMAO”
Ask 50 how close to gold status he is. Then ask Jeezy if he’s not to busy crying. Or Chris Brown. Ross outsold them all, including Nas Brokabar.
Uh, no.
Lecrae is so dope
Niykee Heaton following ugly broke nigges to get a step up in urban music sounds like another Iggy and Ariana Grande
