Hip Hop Album Sales: The Week Ending 3/4/2012

    This was the most exciting week to date on the charts this year for the Hip Hop community. There were four new additions, fresh off of last week’s two, including a Top 3 debut by Kid Cudi’s third album, a collaborative release with Dot Da Genius, as WZRD. Also appearing are Brooklyn veteran Maino, Oakland Hip Hop pioneer Too Short, and the first album from Ja Rule in seven-and-a-half years.

    Kid Cudi’s WZRD Casts A Spell On The Charts

    Cudi and Dot’s WZRD sold over 66,000 units. The self-produced Universal Motown Records project featuring Empire Of The Sun and Desire landed at #2. Last week, Cudi criticized his label for reportedly under-shipping CD copies, limiting the release’s potential. This is Cudi’s third overall album, and a first release for Dot Da Genius.

    Maino’s Day After Tomorrow Outsells Ja Rule’s PIL2

    Two longtime New York rappers released projects after lengthy hiatuses yesterday. Maino’s first album in nearly three years found the Brooklyn rapper after leaving his major label Atlantic Records deal. Now the E1/Hustle Hard artist scored a Top 100 debut for his sophomore album.  Day After Tomorrow featured T.I. and Meek Mill, along with a Best Buy exclusive version boasting appearances by Lloyd Banks and Clinton Sparks’ production. Maino’s sales over doubled those of former Murder Inc./Def Jam star Ja Rule. Now incarcerated, the Queens, New Yorker’s first album since 2004’s R.U.L.E. cleared 3,000 units. A sequel to his 2001 Pain Is Love album, Ja’s follow-up was largely produced by longtime collaborator 7 Aurelius. This is Rule’s first album away from Def Jam, released by Mpire and distributed by Universal Fontana.

    1. Hip Hop is taking blows again. Jeezy seem like he wont go platinum with what i consider his most solid album. Hip Hop Heads kissing the ass of industry puppets Example ( jadakiss saying he is inspired by Rick Ross wtf)

      1. damn jeezys most solid album? i havent really given it much of a chance yet but i cant see it topping tm101 or the recession

    2. man i couldent find pil2 anywhere in store that album was undershipped big time his sales will go up big time when bv becomes a single!

    3. PAIN IS LOVE 2 IS OUT? WOW I DIDENT EVEN KNOW THAT ALBUM WAS OUT THERE MUST HAVE BEEN NO PROMO AT ALL IM GOIN TO ITUNES TO PICK THAT UP RIGHT NOW!

    4. I feel bad for Maino… he makes goos songs, but he gets penalized for being real it seems. I feel like people will appreciate your shit more if you just made up lies, wear crazy cloths, and get a whole bunch of tattoos!!!

    5. Mad disappointed in Maino’s sales, album is raw. Really feel his music, happy I bought it. Pain is Love 2 was decent, actually downloaded it but it wasn’t special. Most stores got 1-3 copies and they’re still sitting.

    6. I feel bad for Maino… he makes goos songs, but he gets penalized for being real it seems. I feel like people will appreciate your shit more if you just made up lies, wear crazy cloths, and get a whole bunch of tattoos!!!

      THANK YOU

      1. maino is a hater, who dissed the south, so fuck him!!!!!! he gets no love down here anymore, after we showed him love, then he shitted on us.

      2. Mainos problem was he had too many r&b cuts on the album. This nigga had r&b niggas all over the cd.

      1. Naw it ain’t a bad day for hip hop shorts a legend and ja didn’t get the right promotion and the nigga locked up. A lot niggas didn’t even know ja was releasing an album. Especially niggas who are ymcmb/mmg zombies or niggas who only buy what’s selling like crazy. Ja needs to get out drop another album and bring back that v.v.v. heat. I didn’t like pil1 and the second is only a slight improvement from the first.

    7. WAIT TILL DRAKE DROP THAT VIDEO WITH RIHANA IT LOOKS LIKE WE GOING TO MAKE IT TO 2 MIL

      13 LETTERS YMCMB OVOXO MMG

      1. Whatever cousin YESSIR please that video is going to suck ass just like the whole entire Take Care album that album is a weed plate piece of shit i’ll tell u what video I can’t wait to see J.Cole featuring Missy Elliot Nobody’s Perfect now that video is going to be FIRRRRRE!!!! yep looks like J.Cole’s Cole World album will end up going PLATINUM!!! after all yea i’ll give it another 6 or 7 months and be on the look out for J.Cole’s second album cause we going MULTI PLATINUM!!!! on that one baby YEAHHH!!!! now I have 28 LETTERS FOR U NOW ROC NATION DREAMVILLE GOOD MUSIC

    8. Ja should have never release his album when he in prison? 3,200 thats a shock …. but i do not understand how kid cudi sold 66,000 when he said his label only shipped 50,000? this doesnt include digital sales it just includes actual shipping? doesnt it?

    9. TYGA FLOPPED? A YOUNG MONEY ARTIST NOT GOING GOLD? NO MMG ARTIST IS GOLD EXCEPT FOR ROSS MEEK DROP THAT FLOP

    10. RAPPERS BE LYING ABOUT THER LIFESTYLE YOU AINT SELLIN NO RECORDS HOW YOU DO THAT THEN? HAHAA

      1. HOW ARE YOU THE ANTI ME. I AGREE WITH THIS SHIT. A LOT OF THESE RAPPERS AINT REALLY GETTING MONEY LIKE MMG AND YMCMB. YOU SEE THE NUMBERS DRAKE WAYNE AND NICKI DOING THEY LIVING THAT FALSHY LIFESTYLE SHOUT OUT TO BRIDMAN AND SLIM FOR PUTTING THEM IN THAT POSITION. AND GOD FOR GIVING THEM TALENT

      2. They get alot of money for live shows and shit sold at those live shows. Wiz made over $11 mil last year with a gold record. Their shows make the money cause they don’t make shit off of album sales any more unless you’re pop like Wayne, Drake any YMCM.

    11. THEY MESSED TYGA UP WITH NOT LETTING PEOPLE BUY HIS ALBUM IN STORES FIRST WEEK THAT HURT. BUT TYGA STILL DOIN HIS THANG. IF TYGA IS A FLOP WHAT THE HELL IS COMMON? WHAT THE HELL IS MAINO? LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
      YMCMB GRINDING GETTING MONEY. TYGAS MAJOR LABEL DEBUTE IS GOING TO DO OVER 200,000 COMMON ON WHAT ALBUM AND TYGA GOING TO HAVE BETTER NUMBERS?

      1. BULLSHIT ALL YOU YOUNG MONEY STANS KNOW HIS ALBUM RELEASE DATE SO YOU TELLIN ME MILLIONS OF WAYNES FANS DIDNT KNOW ANOTHER YOUNG MONEY RELEASE WWAS ABOUT TO DROP? GTFOH

      2. I SEE YOU DONT PAY ATTENTION. TYGA ALBUM WAS NOT IN STORES FIRST WEEK BECAUSE OF A MARTIN LUTHER KING SAMPLE

      1. AHH SORRY TO BURST UR BUBBLE BUT ABOUT 6 RICK ROSS SONGS OFF HIS CURRENT RICH FOREVER MIXTAPE ARE ALL OVER THE RADIO THO

      2. most added song what kind of accolade is that ? added the tracklist does that deserve some kind of award ? lol yall giving out superlative awards now thats sad

    13. BIRDMAN GOING TO BE THE FIRST PERSON TO HAVE THAT BENTLY SUV FALSHY LIFESTYLE HE GETTING MONEY FROM THE CRAZY ALBUM SALES YMCMB DOING NICKI UP NEXT SAVE UP YOUR HATE FOR HER FIRST WEEK NUMBERS LAMES

      2. Ok your right Bently Suv’s aint out yet my bad on that, but as far as what I said about Jay-Z and Kanye West already living a falshy lifestyle and getting crazy money from the beginning wasn’t a lie cousin YESSIR that was FACT!!! Birdman and all of YMCMB are just now selling more records than us so like I said ya’ll playing catchup we already at the top of the mountain financially as well as our previous record sells

    14. damn these are master p out the trunk numbers .wait p was pushin 100k out the trunk hahah

    15. IT WASNT LIKE JA WAS ON A MAJOR LABEL HE COULDNT GET ON ONE SO I EXPECTED THESE SALES BUT…………TYGA BWHAHAHAH

      1. TYGA DONE THAT AINT YOUNG MONEY NUMBERS YOU SAYING FANS FORGOT ABOUT HIS ALBUM BECAUSE OF THE FIRST WEEK SCREW UP ?GTFOH HE WAS GONNA FLOP ANYWAY

      2. Tygas album was pretty good but his mixtape well done, and well done 2 were better but he could have easily done 100k 1st week since people wanted to buy it but since it was re-called some dowloaded. Not a YMCMB fan/groupie but tyga is one rapper I like to hear.

      1. IF YOU CALL THAT A FLOP WHAT WAS COMMON? LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
        I BET YOU WONT ANSWER THAT
        SO WHEN NICKI DO BETTER NUMBERS THAN NAS WHAT YOU GOING TO SAY THEN?

    16. DAAM!

      10 years ago Ja album sold 3,000,000 copies.
      8 years ago it sold 300,000 copies.
      NOW it sold 3,000 copies.
      5 years from now it will sell 300 copies.

      Now that what I call a great look :DDD

      But 50 Cent is just carbage also, except “Ghetto Koran”, that’s tight

    17. TYGA IS 22 WHO DOIN IT BIGGER IN HIPHOP AT HIS AGE RIGHT NOW? GO AHEAD AND MAKE A LIST HATERS. THE NIGGA IS 22 GETTING MONEY. I WANT TO SEE THE LIST

      1. J COLE IS 27 THE NIGGA IS 2 YEARS OLDER THAN DRAKE. MAC MILLER IS DOIN HIS THING EVEN THOUGH I DONT BUMP THAT SHIT

    18. WAIT SO I SEE NIGGAS THINK J COLE IS YOUNG HE IS 27 PEOPLE BUT 30’S THE NEW 20 I GUESS. THATS WHAT YALL NIGGAS DONT UNDERSTAND. LIL WAYNE IS 29 YUP 29. DRAKE IS 25 TYGA IS 22. THEN WE GOT CORY GUNZ WHO IS 24.

      NOW BIG SEAN IS DOING TI BIG AND HE IS 23 GOT TO GIVE THAT NIGGA SOME CREDIT.

      1. Lol, yaw some lame balls! who ever said i was a ja rule fan?? Did u see me mention anything about ja?? no dumb nigga, i didnt. I dont even like ja rule, fuck em…

        I was speaking in a general sense. Record sales dont mean shit. Jus bcuz u go platinum does’nt mean that album was dope and vice versa. I aint heard this new ja album but just bcuz the sales r low dont make it automatically wack.

        I’ve heard PLENTY dope albums that didnt do numbers, but are some str8 classics. They reason why is the business side was lacking, advertising, marketing, etc…

        Learn how the biz work before u jump to conclusion dumb niggas…

        Nuff said…

    19. Ja Rule sucks balls. Never liked him and his stupid love songs. He was always mainstream he did songs with Jennifer Lopez, R. Kelly, Ashanti and Christina Milian. Seriously I don’t know what you guys are talking about he was “hood” fuck out of here. Oh yeah…..Where would I be without you, baby? hahahaha fucken lame nigga.

      1. GO SUCK A DICK HATER CAUSE LIL WAYNE, DRAKE AND KANYE ARE DOING THE SAME TYPE OF MUSIC HE WAS DOING 12 YRS AGO…

    20. weeks ago I said that Ja’s new record would have more comments on the HHDX audio section then units sold

      And people said I was a hater

    21. Lmao Tyga flopped and don’t give me that delay bullshit either because you, my lil bro and other ym fans said that don’t mean shit. It’d going to sale anyway well guess you all fooled yourselves. And I still can’t believe you co-signed the limp bizkit shit. That’s how niggas know you a dickrider.

    22. not surprised Ja didnt sell well. He’s in jail, hasnt been hot for a long time and had really no promotion or radio play. If u dnt get radio play, u better know how to use the internet and stay on top of ur mixtape game or u not gonna sell..It’s harder to sell nowadays so its gonna take more work

    23. TYGA 22 GETTING MONEY NUMBER 4 ON THE CHARTS AND THE ALBUM DID NOT GET INTO STORES TILL FRIDAY OF THE 2ND WEEK. NIGGAS MUST BE MAD. YMCMB ON TOP RIGHT NOW NICKI UP NXT

      1. you have no job, you dont go to school, you have no talent so what is it you do besides brag about your favorites rappers on the internet all day and be a statistic out here doing nothing?

    24. People said 50 cent was done when he sold 150,000 first week with B.I.S.D., so what do we have to say about Ja now?…

    25. maino is a joke. no talent goon with no fanbase. sad thing is, in music today, you can get another album out even after a patehtic outing like that. not only did it not perform commercially, the album was a complete piece of shit. ja rule, damn dude. some fall. some fall. all this music on the charts shares one thing in common, it’s all terrible, terrible music.

    26. Otolaryngologists rejoice. 60,000 new patients will be flooding their offices after listening to WZRD.

      For ear aches.

    27. Ja’s done. Decent album, but clearly nobody’s looking out for his music anymore. Maino tanked as well, which isn’t a surprise. They have zero promotion.

      1. LOL you must be a fucking faggot if you believe MAINO has skill and Cudi is shit. Please stop listening to music

    28. Damn MAino 6k???? thats dissapointing cus he DID have a good album regardless of what people say. The shit was positive and uplifting coming from an ex-con. MUCH RESPECT to another black man for beating the odds. How can you hate on that?

      1. LOL stfu Maino is fucking garbage and you know it. MAYBE IT WAS THE TREY SONGZ INSPIRED ALBUM COVER THAT MADE YOU THINK DIFFERENT LOLOLOLLLLLLLL

        and im sure your westLA’s finest

      1. Are you really that simple? Too Short has his OWN label. Ja released that on his OWN label, and Ja has a P & D setup thru Universal.

        Are you familiar with how this works and what it means for both of them? They both just generated 30-50 thousand in a WEEK.

        How much did you make this last week?

    29. JA RULE’S ALBUM IS VERY HOTTTT… BETTER PROMOTION, REMIXES AND RADIO SPINS WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY HELPED HIS ALBUM SALES AND MAINO’S ALBUM IS TUFF AS HELL ALSO DAMN IT UPSETS ME WHEN GOOD ALBUMS DONT SELL SMFH…

    30. i was a big ass fan of hiphop n still i am but not like i use to be i have 1284 cd’s use to buy like 3 o 4 cd’s a week. hiphop wack right now last cd i done buy was dat young jeezy album.dat WZRD aint hiphop.i rather bump all my old no limit records cd’s c-murder LIFE OR DEATH album way better then whats out here right now.

    31. NO FANS ANYWHERE….LLL-LET IT FLOP
      SEEMS THEY DONT CARE…..LLL-LET IT FLOP

      (IN REACTION TO MAINO’S SALES)

    32. Looks like 80s still running shit!!!!!!!!!!!rap,tv,sports,icons its 80s time.60 n 70s had there shine up is the 90s, 2000 babies!!!

    33. everyone hatin’ on Cudi, there’s nothing wrong with listening to something different. I get tired of hearing the same monotone rappers tell their same stories over and over. at least Cudi keeps it interesting. when I’m in different moods I listen to different artists. when I want to hear something lyrical I listen to Skyzoo, Kendrick Lamar, Talib Kweli, etc. when I want to hear something goofy I listen to Tyler The Creator, Childish Gambino, Mac Miller, etc. when I want to hear something chill I listen to Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y, etc. I think people should stop hating artists they don’t like and just enjoy artists they do like

      1. Funny how you much Kid Cudi not being monotone. I am fan of his MOTM stuff but he’s very monotone and very mediocre at rapping. Yet his WZRD album just wasn’t “good”. It just doesn’t feel like a Kid Cudi album. Even GOOD Music didn’t have its back on the album. It only sold decently because Kid Cudi has a solid fanbase of stoners & white teenage suburb kids who listen to mainstream rap like Wiz, Drake & Wale, dubstep music or alternative indie rock which WZRD would qualify in.

    34. damn drake still moving 25K + a week. shit man!! lil wayne well passed 2 mil, but tyga struggling to even move units.. wow over hyped. YMCMB main unit is Wayne, Nikki & Drake bottom line. the rest of this shit looking scarce!! congrats to all tho, i aint sell a thousand of nothing, better than working in the mall i guess. props to all. man ja album is really good too fuck man, shit is fucked up right now, all that work he put in and shit aint even getting coped 🙁 .. sorry ja rule

    35. Nobody cares about ja-rule, true hip hop fans dont want his cd and he sold well to pop fans. he needed a pop album like he used to if he wanted sales. a true hip hop head who likes wu tang, rakim, nas, etc will not be worrying about ja rule. sales do matter because when an album sells that poorly on week one their career is basically over.

    36. Ja deserves to sell WAAAAAAAAY more than he did. This really does show that music doesn’t matter when it comes to sales.

    37. MORE SALE FOR YMCMB,MEANS MORE GAY BUTTSEX FOR ME.

      GO WEEZY,DRIZZY,NICKI,AND TYGA
      I BUMP THEIR SHIT TIL MY ASSHOLE IS ON FIRE

      YOUNG MOOLAH,BABY

      1. Will cousin sorry to say this but the more talent ROC NATION continues to have over YMCMB the more Gay Oral Sex I get YEAHHH!!! GO JAY-Z, COLE WORLD, WILLOW SMITH, KANYE, AND JAY ELECTRONICA I rock their joints til I cum my dick dry of semen and my asshole burns RED HOT!!! THROW YOUR DIAMONDS UP, BABY OH YEAHHH!!!

    38. EVERYBODY TALKING ABOUT FLOPS ARE U FORGETTING JA RULE IS IN JAIL SO HE CANT SELF PROMOTE HE HAS NO SINGLE ON THE RADIO AND ALL OF THERE SALES ARE ON WORD OF MOUTH AND FROM ITUNES BECAUSE HIS ALBUM BARELY GOT SHIPPED INTO ANY STORES BUT HIS ALBUM IS THE BEST OF THE YEAR! AND THATS WHAT MATTERS IF U ARE A HIPHOP FAN GO TO INTUNES AND PICK IT UP AND STOP WORRIN ABOUT SALES AND WORRY ABOUT THE MUSIC DAMN PEOPLE YOU ACT LIKE ITS YOUR ALBUM OR SOMETHING WHY DO U CARE ID IT SELLS OR NOT BUT I WOULD BET MY BOTTOM DOLLAR THIS ALBUM TAKES OFF AND CLEARS A 100K BEFORE SAID AND DONE IF BLACK VODKA GETS ON THE RADIO!

    39. RICK ROSS & LIL WAYNE HAVE JOINED FORCES AND WILL COLLABORATE ON A NEW ALBUM CALLED “YOUNG MONEY MAYBACH MUSIC”. IT WILL FEATURE TRACKS LIKE PENN STATE NIGGA FEAT. JERRY SANDUSKY, MIAMI HEAT FEAT. LEBRON JAMES, PACMAN POWER FEAT. MANNY PACQUIAO, BURGER KING OF THE SOUTH, I’M A COP, THE CORRELATION OFFICER STORY, & CHICKEN BREAST STRIPS.

      1. TYE LATTIMORE AND MYSELF WILL JOIN FORCES TO BECOME THE GAYEST YMCMB GROUPIES ON EARTH.WE ARE THE YMBS(YOUNG MONEY BUTT SLAVES).WE’LL BE GIVING OUT BACKDOOR ACCESS PASSES AT ALL YMCMB CONCERTS AND SHOWS.WE WILL BE HOSTING TRYOUTS FOR NEW GROUPIES TO FLUFF DRAKES BALLS.

      2. LOL that’s funny cousin YESSIR but I must out do u again cause me and Simon Rex are joining forces to be the gayest ROC NATION groupies in the WORLD! we are the RNDS(ROC NATION DICKSUCKERS) ya’ll will never be as gay as us we’re doing tryouts as well cause we’re shooting a video entitled ROC NATION FAGGOTS IN PARIS and only the best new groupies will make the cut and be in the video.

    40. i just wanna say that i bought the RULE album and am happy that it did 56000 worldwide some of thIS rappers have no fans overseas and yeah am overseas too …freeRULE
      AND OHH YESS IT IS A BANGER AND YOU CANT FRONT ABOUT THAT….I LISTEN TO rakim Nas,kendrick lamar j cole talib kwali mosdef and i can still say i listen to Ja rule no one has a right to choose what you should listen to…peace

      1. Are you saying PIL2 did 56000 or R.U.L.E did 56000? Can anyone tell me where i can check the worldwide sales figures? i.e. weekly sales and sales to date?

    41. I listened to two tracks on PIL2 and it was ridiculous. Rappers who think adding “2” to album titles will increase sales are delusional. The only way Ja-Rule can make money is if he does live shows, shows up and says, “What would I do with out my ba-baaaay.” That’s it. I would pay $10 to watch that because regardless of the present that song has a lot of memories attached to it for a lot of people. Roll with what’s in your wheelhouse buddy.

    42. HAHAHAHAHAHA…YMCMB IS ON TOP STILL….CANT STOP US….WE RULE THE WORLD OF MUSIC….SPEAKING OF RULE……DAMN HE FLOPPED SUPER HARD. TOO BAD SO SAD….WHEN YOU GET OUT JA,SIGN WITH YMCMB AND YOU’RE SALES WILL GO GOLD OR PLATINUM IN NO TIME

    43. I miss the days when it was all about the quality of the music. Now the fans are all dick ridin whoever sold the most like they get a cut of it. Keep laughing at rappers sales on y’all way to your janitor jobs. Mop that floor clean ya bitch

    44. well done JA RULE YOUR ALBUM HASNT HIT THE STORES BT U MADE SO MUCH IWISH U WHERE OUT TO PROMOTE THIS GREAT ALBUM OF YOURS,DNT MIND HATERS WHO DNT KNW HIP HOP HIS ALBUM IS NT IN STORES GO TO ITUNES DNT DISS WITHOUT INFORMATION STUPID JEALOUSY BITCHEES

    48. Ja, don’t drop the soap nigga, cuz you dropped the mic. LOL. the nigga is in jail, but ge still got dough. But fuck the whole Murda INC. Erve Gooti, Ashanti look, that shit was gay as fuck (GAF)

    49. i wanna check the the figures from Nielsen Soundscan myself. does anyone know how to check it? i’m not sure if trust the accuracy of this article

    50. Ja, as much as i’m not really a fan of YMCMB, it might b worth considering signing up with them.. that will probably help push sales.. I heard Christina Milian recently signed with them.. i might even start actually likin YMCMB if you sign as well

    51. Ja, please consider making upbeat songs about happy things, love, partying etc.. I’m a big fan, but the reason i’m a big fan is because your previous songs are so upbeat, they make me happy and put me in a good mood.. i’m not really a fan of pitbull but he seems to b makin massive sales because his songs seem to b upbeat for other people and they seem to get happy from his songs

    52. wow Maino only 6300 first week? Dat album is fire! yall backpack, tight jean wearin niggaz fuckin up da game man…

      so sick of the game, how does tyga sell more records then maino u fruit loops kill me…

    53. Being indie isn’t a cake walk. Whatever they bank basically gets thrown back into the fray to bank roll another project. Plus they have to cover all expenses on the road, 365 days a year. They need a video? They got to shell out for it. Fancy cars? Money. Jewelry? Money. Unless they’re like Tech Nine and actually do shows 365 days a year to ensure every album does at least 100,000, in reality they’re this close to being poor.

      1. not really they produce most of their shit themselves so they get about 75-85% of their yearly profits which is about 150-300k a year.

    54. for you all ni**as sayin that ja flopped you havent seen his worldwide sales he sold 60k outside the country with no single on the radio on a independent label and most of all he is locked up so he cant do shows and self promote he is making 7$ a album and that up he made some mad cake homie when he gets out the pin he gonna have mad loot! plus his album is fire i got it on itunes support rule while he locked up keep ya head up ja ohhh and when is the last time the so clalled gansta 50 cent been locked up hahaha thats what i thought FREE RULE!!!!!!
