Only a handful of rappers can sell 200k first week nowadays. How Meek put out trash singles and still manage to achieve that feat is beyond me. Album was pretty solid though. Miguel deserves better, probably should have tried to create more buzz.
Only a handful of rappers can sell more than 200k these days. How Meek put out trash singles and still managed that feat is definitely beyond me. Miguel deserves better, although I admit he had zero buzz.
How many albumz did you sell in Your ‘First’ Week idiot??? please stop hating on a niggas sucess just cuz of the things he’s done or just cuz you want what he has….(Nicki
Big Ups to Nicki Minaj. Helping sales like Kim for Kanye.
MMG hiding about 200k of those meek albums somewhere in their offices.
So, why they didn’t bought 200k of Hood Billionaire?
kanye was actually selling more when he wasnt with kim….
Why people keep acting like meek didn’t do 165,000 his first week last go round. He basically snatched another 80, 0000 off anticipation. The freestyles he been dropping been right monster impacted fee l me
Absolutely
lol Miguel is better than Frank Ocean at 40 000 records sold? gtfh…I only know 1 song from him and I don’t remember the name of that song…
Nicki bought them to console her failure boyfriend.
Every Squeak Mill album should come with a complimentary pair of hearing aids.
wish summertime ’06 would have sold more. albums fresh as fuck. a good look debuting at 39 though.
Definitely the best album released probably for the past few months. Gets better ever time i listen to it. Summertime 06 is definitely in the running for best album this year.
Happy For Meek Mill.. #1 Album in the country!! MMG/ROCNATION
Instead of giving us what we asked in TOTAL ALBUM SALES these niggas put up a fucking graph…this staff is full of morons I swear
Black people supporting garbage rappers like Meek Mill just because he’s Black. Meek Mill is nothing special and looks like a gorilla!
Nicki sold 244k first week(196k pure album sales), that’s a little less than Meek’s numbers. She may be a factor but is not responsible for his popularity. Its not Ross too coz he has never sold that much first week. I guess people just love a screamer.
kendrick finally on the board lol
summer time 06 was a double album, so technically it sold about 7,000. But he was complaining on twitter. FOH
All you modafuckaz are GAY……….. Brarr… Why hatin on some one success??? Y’all go to hell and burn to ashes. Fuuuuuuccccckkkkk all you pussy ass modafuckaz. DIE….. And may success never be yo portion.
