Outkast has WAY too many fans not to go Plat at a minimum.  But yeah, that is still a HUGE dissappointment.

^^^^ I can't see them going plat after these numbers, especially without big singles

Music sales are in a slump, its a bad time of the year for albums....always is but its worse than ususal...fourth quarter will see a rise building to christmas, but sales will still be down...

yea, sales have been bad all year. I've just really started to pay attention to sales a few months ago. It's a wonder how T.I. pushed over 500,000 in week 1. Not a knock on him, I think he's great, but that defanitely is suprising.

Paul Wall´s just under 1 million and i think Mike did about 1.5 million.

Yeah, but with the number of fans Outkast has, they'll probably be able to drag it out a bit more.  You simply don't go from Diamond to not Gold THAT quickly, especially with the amount of respect Outkast has.

I'm also kinda surprised Kelis is selling so poorly...even I didn't like the album very much, "Bossy" was a hot-to-death single, so I figured she'd get more than 58K out of that in her first week.

And Rick Ross is still selling pretty well, as is Gnarls Barkley.

What did they expect? I thought it was a soundtrack at first.

It is a soundtrack.  But it's supposed to be their new album as well.

By their standards it is a flop but I can't call it a flop.  If they double the sales next week they will be good.

No shit this didn't do well. "Hey ya" and Big Boi's single were HUGE! Both those tracks blew up on radio, tv, everywhere. Two of the biggest tracks in the last 5 years. "Mighty O" can't compare to their past singles.

Exatly Rud, you on point as always. People need to forget about that flop word, because NOTHING is selling anymore. It is simply to easy to d/l albums, and most of us are to blame for that anyways. Then u wanna point and laugh and call everything a flop.

A flop used to mean a wack album. Music, even rap is still ok, it just isn't selling like it used to.

Idlewild is weak. The singles are weak. The movie backing it is weak. Their whole effort has been a failure. That should tell them something right there they fucked up bad.

Don't alienate the people that got you to the top & come with some goofy shit because we'll alienate your ass right back. I know this is the first Outkast album I refuse to buy, and I went out and copped all of their shit, even the greatest hits album.

Better luck next time.

Well, I think ur on point with that, and thats the only reason Id consider this Outkast CD a flop, because it wasn't to pleasent to listen too. Not because of the sales figures. I was expecting a rap album, and if not that, at least something fresh, and interseting. I feel cheated out of a CD-R now.

I feel ya. It's just on this rare occasion, the sale figures reflected the albums quality.

maybe this will teach andre to start rapping. or it will make him retire and not even work on a new DF album.

Treu. I guess people knew they wouldnt be getting a real Outkast album, with the duo on each track together. I like Big Bois solo tracks, Andres not so much, but I love when they are together. Thats why I didn't get it.

BTW is the movie any good?
