As if having one of the most popular artist line-ups and long-standing labels in Hip Hop isn’t enough, it looks like the YMCMB family can add another title to its name. Now, in a recent press release, Cash Money has announced that it has officially sold over 500 million singles worldwide.
With a platinum-selling release from Nicki Minaj this year and multi-platinum LPs from Lil Wayne and Drake last year, YMCMB officially crossed the 500 million singles sold mark. Birdman spoke on the event, saying that while it’s an accomplishment for both him and his brother/co-own Ronald “Slim” Williams, they have no intention of stopping now.
“There is no more dynamic and prolific a label than Cash Money Records and the YMCMB family – point blank. We’re proud of every one of our artists and their contribution to our legacy,” he said. “What’s most humbling is the global reaction to our story. Slim and I built this label from the ground up and seeing our brand connect with people across borders, culture and language makes us appreciate every one of our fans worldwide. We can’t wait to deliver another 500 million bangers Success is something that Slim and I have always aimed for. It feels great to sell 500 million songs but fans should know, we aren’t going to stop now, and will continue our legacy.”
This isn’t the only record the New Orleans label has achieved in the past year. Back in September, Lil Wayne surpssed Elvis Presley’s record for most number of Billboard Top 100 hits.

Congratulations
Haha and they’re still broke. Universal or whoever owns you is collectin tho
I hope you know they own all of their masters..
Do some research..
Yes I’ve read that, but that amounts to some petty royalties. Distribution takes up much of the profits, but CM have a pretty good deal cause they don’t have to risk too much with spending and marketing. In the end they’re tiny, and in a dying industry.
Somehow I really doubt that.
Hate them all you want, this motherfuckers moving mad units
Talk about how much money they have all you want, they are still talentless retards degrading the art form.
My faith in this generation=gone
that’s why I don’t use my hate on YMCMB specifically… I distribute my hate on the motherfckers out there bumping their shit thinking its cool.
niggas like Lil Wayne.. at the end of the day he’s smart af. he knows what the crowd likes. he knows what sells. it’s too bad people like stupid shit.
That’s good news. It’s mad money in the music buisness. It’s more money else where tho. That’s the reason Jay is worth 450 and Diddy is worth 550. Not to mention Dre is worth like 270 now due to the headphone investment.
Congrats to Birdman for buying 500 Million Singles Worldwide
Why the hell would he do that? Then he’d be losing money.
I can’t hate. Even if I don’t agree with alot of shit that Cash Money, Young Money or Lil Wayne does, I can’t say they aren’t any success. Congrats to YMCMB.
Def Jam is still better label tho.
SINGLES, NOT ALBUMS….AND A BUNCH OF BULLSHIT BUBBLE GUM RAPPING NIGGAZ… STRAIGHT TRASH…..THAT WHOLE LABEL IS A BUNCH OF WHORES ON WAX…
LMFAO NOW TELL ME WHICH LABEL CAN SAY THAT TOO? GOOD MUSIC? G UNIT? ROC NATION? ROC A FELLA? AFTERMATH? LMFAOOOO THIS MUST BE THE BEST ARTICLE ON DX SINCE WEEZY REACHED OVER A MILL FIRST WEEK. BITCH ALL U WANT BUT YMCMB IS ON TOP BY FAR
yeah it’s cause their the white man’s rap. that’s why they sell so much and get pushed so hard on the radio. More like white little girl rap.. my 12 year old cousin Ashleys favourite rapper is lil wayne. she also went to justin bieber when he came to town. kinda of the same sort of thing
fuck you for blaming lil wayne on white people thats not fair. can white n black come together and agree with wayne that hes an alien so none of us have to be responsible
Talk all you want, Wayne is the shit, He is my, BOY, So Icy Boi! and YEBO’s master and if I had a choice I would group us all together and have a huge FUCK session imagine that platinum dick up my ass. SWAG
Man Death Row sold more than these dudes (both singles and albums)
hmmmm.. single songs off itunes.. theres your reason right there. people aint runnin out to cop the new weezy 12″.. gimme a fuckin break
Death Row sold 50 million albums worldwide. Noway they sold more than YMCMB
Like these cats or not, got to respect their hustle.
hmmmm.. single songs off itunes you mean.. theres your reason right there. people aint runnin out to cop the new weezy 12″.. gimme a fuckin break

I was 15 years old as a millionaire. Ive been rich since I was 14. My son has been a millionaire since he was 12, so thats just the life.
So where is all this street and gang shit coming from ? If they were really rich since their early teens they wouldve had NO TIME to be in any hood doing any dirt. lol like for real.
BOY be quiet and stop lying.
baby and cashmoney didnt start making real money until the hotboys bruh
this is a sad day for hiphop and the music industry in general. kids want music thats all ubout fun i guess, but when its constantly about money sex and being a blood then im out. i love hiphop just not this kind of hiphop. its destroying our youth. people have to wake up and not buy into this garbage
Baby sold none out of the 500 mil….lol
They have not sold 500 Million. Maybe 100million singles at most. Trust me I know!
thats means there are 500.000 million idiots in the world
Where’s the source for this statistic? No official source, it doesn’t count.
im sure there are dozens of more prolific labels than cash money, young money and they dont put out disposable garbage
And Lil Wayne is getting Robbed.
doodoo anyone?

no comment. YMCMB da best. your fav rapper lost. Lil Wayne da king. swag
and Lil Wayne only makes about $1,000.00 for this
“Death Row sold 50 million albums worldwide”
That was then. This is now.
Geffen record is way more prolific and dynamic
they had Elton John, Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Nirvana, Cher, Crosby, Stills & Nash, The Eagles, Aerosmith, Guns N Roses…
You all can’t fuckin remove my comments!! I’m Malone!!
