Grand Hustle/Atlantic Records star B.o.B.‘s debut album, The Adventures of Bobby Ray has achieved gold status, according to manager TJ Chapman. The respected manager tweeted today that the 22 year-old’s April, 2010 album featuring Eminem, Lupe Fiasco and Playboy Tre crossed the 500,000 mark.
News Update: B.o.B’s “The Adventured of Bobby Ray” is CERTIFIED GOLD in the US!!! 500,000+ Albums Sold!!! Congrats @bobatl!
Like other releases this year from Ludacris and Rick Ross, the announcement was made prior to the Soundscan report, which tracks domestic sales at most retailers.
In 2010, B.o.B. has additionally appeared on albums from Slim Thug, Big Boi and Quincy Jones.
Lmao at the ppl who where shiting on ross for taking him a long ass time to go gold but this Fags Album cam out 3mths prior to ross but he got a pass when BOB stans where saying he would do 500k the first week lol
U speakin truth man I’m surprised it took this long tho he had a #1 record and everything I thought dat shit would of moved units long time ago
This is B.o.B’s first album…try and prove that this is Ross’ first album. -_- For a first release in 2010, being able to go Gold in less than a year is amazing.
even though b.o.b had a hit single he was still basically underground.. his whole fan base was from an underground stand point, his REAL supporters.. the people that heard Nothin’ On You didn’t like b.o.b, they liked that song.. they never even knew about him before that hit song.. so it took him a while to go gold.. of course he probly had around 200 or 300 thousand people who were his real fans and bought his album as soon as it dropped.. but it takes months and months to get another couple hundred thousand.. selling 500 thousand copies of your FIRST album, when you’re 22 years old, within about 8 months, is extremely good.. b.o.b is fuckin’ sick..
Finally! He deserved to go gold in the first week
Wait, hold up a second, let me see If I got this right, your telling me that after having Nothin On You & Airplanes on the radio EVERY 5 FUCKIN MINUTES, this record took this long to creep to FUCKIN GOLD????
God the music buisness is fuckin dea!!!
yeah. B.O.B is kind of like Cudi in that he had 1-2 really popular songs that went 1-2 times platinum but the album didn’t really take off.
Man B.o.B sucks… all he raps about is gay shit like paper airplanes. plus he made songs with the loser crack m&ms. Listen to Gucci Mane. Plus OJ Da Juiceman kills him in a freestyle.
It’s Gucci Time!
Hell Ya good s**t on the comment…. oh wait.. your not joking…
You ran this joke into the ground last week
oj da juiceman? forreal? haha
I hear you eat cookies and milk right outta Gucci’s asshole. Brrr!!!
About time!
b.o.b should not even been in the same sentence of ross he is way on a another level as him teflon don was almost a classic
Yea this shit took a long time to hit gold. Between “Nothin on You” and “Airplanes”, the white folk should’ve been knocking each other out tryna cop this. Plus that “Magic” record gets played every fuckin where I go. Shit, Young Dro went gold quicker than BoB without the #1 singles. Speakin of which, when the fuck is that nigga comin out?
