Album Sales 10/28/2009

It is a sad, sad day people and by sad I mean VERY sad.  The weekly album sales are in and Royce Da 5’9″, who is one of the biggest names on the blogs/websites/internet, etc moved about as many units Mack 10.  Wait a minute, does that even make sense?  I’m kinda confused because Lil Boosie dropped an album or mixtape and sold damn near DOUBLE the amount that Royce sold.  Kid Cudi is STILL moving more units than Royce.  I can’t say that I’m surprised but I am more so just disappointed and lost.  Drake is still going strong, Jay sold another 45K and the Black Eyed Peas are still doing the same.  Peep.

I wish HipHopDx would start lying about these numbesr to make me feel better.  Looks like rappers better be pop or perish.

Weekly Numbers 10/14/09

As promised, here are the weekly album sales number jacked straight from Hip Hop Dx.  Fat Joe tries to follow in Raekwon and Jay-Z’s footsteps but failes miserably, Mack 10 is still irrelevant, Jay-Z’s record still match his chain and Ghostface can’t break 30K.  PEEP.

Where is Saigon’s The Greatest Story Never Told.  Looks like it’s STILL not getting told.  C’mon Just we NEED that.  It’s amazing that selling less than 5,000 copies gets you on the charts nowadays.  I’m pretty sure cats are selling that out of their bookbags.
