Official number – 2,184,000 (Y)
only 3800 sold? thats rough, some great songs on that statik selektah record. real hip-hop not selling though.
Wiz flopped so hard.
” Eminem – The Marshall Mathers LP 2 – 5,319 (134,580) ”
someone flubbed up
he did more than 2 millions they just miss typed it
Pharrell’s album is finally GOLD to go with the multiplatinum single.
Yeah, and to think that Ross sold more in the first week,it’s crazy
It’s not crazy, you chart watchers seem to think the first week sales mean the final tally of sales and everybody goes out the 1st two weeks and buy CDs. People buy CDs when they want to, there’s no race to buy music.
Basically……come out of the buffoonery and the “event” the labels and artists make over the release and just support the music you like. They even got you going gaga over projections/predictions now, y’all caught up.

Who the fuck buys Drakes, Lil Gays, Booty Minaj and Cop Rosses album so badly? Macklemore should get off that list too, he ain’t rapper. Also Gay Z and Weird West are pretty fucking wack.
You can include the Throne as apart of Jay and Kanye and then not include Royce Da 5’9 for selling 800,000 for Bad Meets Evil album and 50,000 copies of his own albums especially when he bodied Eminem almost every feature that they have been on.
Eminem actual sales 13 million in 2010’s. At the end of 2009 he was named artist of decade with 32.2 million. Now he has 45.2 million sales in US. All of his albums sold well.
numbers dont lie eminem is a popstar while drake is the king of this rap shit
If numbers don’t lie, then Eminem is the king of this rap shit.
When white nerds start giving rappers names like Gay Z, Cop Ross, and Weird West is it Ny surprise that Eminem is number 1?
HipHop is dead in the mainstream.

“When white nerds start giving rappers names like Gay Z, Cop Ross, and Weird West is it Ny surprise that Eminem is number 1?

Haha you that type of nigga like Drake.
That anaconda single from NickI is no.2 on the hot 100. Haters talk about the downfall when there is none. She’s a dope rapper and represents another win for hiphop, which was losing to pop stars eminem and g unit.
Anaconda still sucks. Nicki is still heading towards a downfall as the song will be out of the top 10 next week. She’s a wack rapper and she represents another loss for hip-hop and a win for pop stars (which Eminem and G-Unit are not as they’re hip-hop).
its just sad how she cant get any attention to her music without taking off her clothes. even the single cover on itunes is just her phat ass so its no surprise its no. 1 now instead of that white australian bitch who doesnt like to show as much skin.
There’s only two reasons why Anaconda was a hit and none of them have to do with the quality of the record since the beat and the lyrics are trash.
A: sampling Sir Mix-A-Lot’s Baby Got Back, a very famous hit song.
B. the video, which got a lot of views because it was basically softcore porn which people were jacking off to.
An aconda is still a hit even if it falls out. Other artists have taken clothes off before and still cant get a hit. Its a hit because of the dope music and lyrics. The twerking is only a small part. I understand youre upset that g unit and eminem latest singles have struggled but GET OVER IT!!!!
Give me an example of an artist who went naked and didn’t get a hit. No, Anaconda is a hit because of the sample and the porno-like video, the lyrics suck and the beat is crap and is lazily constructed. Eminem’s single isn’t struggling as it’s in the Top 5 on ITunes and G-Unit never released a single.
Its paying tribute to a hiphop classic while working on its own terms. Nicki really does have a big ass. Also, Skylar grey and dina rae twerked without success.
No, it’s butchering a hip-hop classic by lazily sampling it without making it sound different, only adding sound effects and 808 drums to it. Those other females you named didn’t twerked.
Its the female point of view of that classic. Thats not butchering. Also, Google is there, look it up. I know not all artists who twerked found success. Also, nicki has a large ass.
No, it’s butchering a classic. Nothing in it suggests a female point of view. Anaconda is an insult to Baby Got Back.
The fact that you constantly bring up her ass should tell you that Nicki gains more attention off her sex appeal instead of her music and that’s not a good thing.
Many people would disagree with you. Its still a hit that would have gone no.1 if it wasn’t for that sellout racist taylor swift. Her twerking has very little to do with the success. Sounds like youre jealous that your girlfriend doesnt have the ass nicki does.
No, they would actually agree with me. White people love Taylor Swift, so her being #1 isn’t a surprise (BTW, how is Taylor racist?). Nicki’s sex appeal has a lot to do with her success (and that doesn’t just include twerking). See how you can’t keep her fake ass out your mind? That validates my point that her looks get more attention than her music.
Nicki Minaj is a sellout just like Taylor Swift.
Ok so its her sex appeal that makes her popular. Her music is still great in my opinion. Its dope and she revived female hiphop. Also her ass isnt fake. How can it be fake?
Her music is still shit. Female hip-hop is still dead and Nicki isn’t reviving it making wack pop songs. Her ass is fake since she had booty shots.
shit don’t sell like it used to sell
Ariana Grande (Republic) 150-170k
Brad Paisley (Arista Nashville) 50-60k
KEM (Motown) 35-40k
Avenged Sevenfold (Hopeless) 20-25k
G-Unit (G-Unit) 10-12k
Royal Blood (Warner Bros.) 9-11k
10-12k? i guess thats decent for a surprise EP released independently
Good numbers form Ariana Grande considering that her previous album did more than 130K. She has potential.
those are shit numbers for Grande her name is everywhere, shes a huge pop star
Actually, these are good numbers for her.
her name everywhere means promotion and marketing, not actual fan interest moron, smdh y’all nothing but media slaves, it’s easy to fool you
sign to universal, put you on the today show & saturday night live (NBC/Universal), pay the radio to spin the song 1000 times and idiots like you swear that’s what the people want and you run with it
g unit?
Tank tanked.
I’m surprised no one’s talking about Wiz’s flop album.
Meh, 90k is pretty solid for the first week and pretty good by today’s standards. Albums don’t sell like they used to.
He’s gonna sell more than Animal Ambition.
but he wont even make half the money 50 did so stop it
Lmao at hiphopdx putting Eminem’s sales at 134k
how did wiz do 90,000…soundscan is flawed and fixed..nobody is buying that shit
his last one did 140k so its about right
As soon as you say “nobody is________” is when people know you’re an idiot.
music sales are bad people have to find another hobby
they do, it’s internet trolling on social media websites
it’s free too, got millions doing it
The nerve of these idiots on here talking about Wiz album flopped. 90k in a day. On a independent. Dude just made a mil today. How do you define success. I forgot you don’t. Making $10 dollars a hr is the money your pops make and your mom’s thinks that he’s the isn’t. The things lil dumb ppl say nowadays.
90k in a *week*, it’s a flop compared to his previous albums. And it’s not really independent when you also have Atlantic and Warner behind your release.
Shut up moron. He didn’t make no million.
ross is done
He’s still on every other song floating around out there. He’s far from done.
No, he ain’t. Ross is done.
“but he wont even make half the money 50 did so stop it”
No, Curtis nut hugger. You stop. Exactly how much did 50 make off that flop album? I want specifics, or my accountant is going to kick your accountant’s ass.
50 is finished
HIPHOPDX ARE YOU STUPID???? EMINEM SOLD A HELL OF ALOT MORE THAN 134,000 ALBUMS he sold more than anyone in hip hop he’s sold 2.5 million of Marshall Mathers LP, You guys need to fix your numbers that shits embarassing.
Your reaction is embarrassing. It’s a free site. Who cares if they make a mistake.
*Marshall Mathers LP2 I mean sold $2.5 million. Eminem can sell 134,000 in his sleep. He’s not my favourite rapper either its just fact. You guys are a professional site that’s unacceptable.
Tank’s record tanked smh
You got Em’s numbers wrong.
