Title: "Game's ‘The R.E.D. Album’ First Week Sales Projected At 90-95k"
Post by: Dikteta Dax on August 24, 2011, 01:29:47 PM
Flop or is that okay considering the fact the album had no buzz or radio play?  Actually these numbers are higher then I expected.  I was thinking 60k, I think Game needs to pop out a greatest hits (but does he have enough good tracks for that) and bounce from interscope and try to re-establish himself somewhere else.  Maybe e1 or some indy and take what little star power he has left and start putting out these BWS acts...

That's pretty good. Around what I expected. The album should crawl to a Gold plaque after a few months.

Everybody needs to stop lowering their standards.

If Game wants to be in the same class as Eminem, Kanye, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne & Drake, as far as being poppin' in the game, he needs to be putting up their numbers.

I know sales don't mean anything, but pretty funny how Jay Rock sells 5,000, people are saying that's good & Game, supposedly one of the biggest names in Hip Hop & he's barely even touching 100K.

I never expected this album to even sell well and sales dont mean hes a bad rapper last I checked Nas is in class with rappers you stated and he doesnt sell that great any more. Im not defending people saying these numbers are good but being a good rapper doesnt require you to sell a lot.
Oh never mind I didnt read the poppin the game part ignore what I said.

Game is not in the same class as Kanye, Jay or Wayne in terms in popularity or sales.  But hes about to sell more than anyone on the westcoast, so hes still doing it big and holding it down.  I dont see the problem with 90k....Pretty fucking good IMO and way more units than 90 percent of the rest of rap releases.

nobody is sellin shit anymore besides the very big names in music  in general ( I mean artists who are known outside the kind of music they belong to) ... tell me which rapper outside the 5 rappers you named (plus TI and 50) has gone platinum ... won't surprised me if you have to go back to 2006 for that
Snoop doesn't even reach the gold certification if you add the numbers of his 2 latest albums

There is no problem with 90K, I mean it is what it is. I'm talking about how Game refers to himself & how his fans speak about him. He should be doing 250K first week, no problem.

Game isnt in first class when it comes to hip-hop, not even mentioning music over all. He has most of his fans on the west. Considering that, the numbers are what everybody could expect (specially when the album isnt anything really great [imo]).

Lol for real, Jay and Ye and two of the biggest names in Music, not just Hip Hop, Game will never be at that level. He was probably expecting or hoping to do more, but I think in today's climate, with no real single he did all good. I doubt he'll be happy though lol

90k is good. I hate to say that tho. I still remember the good old days when even underground/loch artist could do 100k

I thought he would do around 125k, but this sounds about right. Still a lil early but he has plenty single worthy cuts that he can drop videos for and promote. The question is will Interscope back it.

"Hello" could be big. IF they put it out.

Jimmy Iovine doesn't appear to like Game very much, probably still over the 300 Bars era. Just like when LAX dropped, "Camera Phone" had hit single written all over it, then it was placed on the bonus disc (wtf) then released as a single 5 months after My Life blew up (another head scrather-since when do labels not follow up hit singles?).

We shall see tho

Is this even official? While I agree if true, it's nothing to place him in the discussion of someone like Jay or Kanye - but didn't Lil Wayne's last album do around 100k first week?

As someone said, I feel "Hello" can definitely blow up if pushed. But it's gotta be in the next 6-8 weeks if there's any hope in it transferring to album sales.

I'll bet this ends up doing more like 125k first week. Pretty damn good for an artist who was silent to the mainstream for 3 years and really got minimal buzz for the album.

You can't really compare it to Waynes last album though. I don't even know what it sold but it was an EP of throw away tracks that they just threw out there for xmas sales with little to no promo and no major single from what I remember

I agree. Both 50 and Game are going through the same situation with the label especially with both of them having 1 album left on their contract. It's pretty obvious that the rap section over there on Interscope is almost gone, i think Iovine is only concerned with artist ala Dre, Eminem (he's a rapper but he's a pop-star in the sense of his popularity) and Gaga. I think that's their focus right now especially since Interscope really ain't pulling numbers like that outside of them. Even Def Jam had to lay off a bunch of people.

It's probably why we're in this pop era of hip-hop because the label wants their artist to reach a wider audience and say what you want but them pop fans actually BUY and SUPPORT artists only difference is they usually move on to the next pop star after a few years.

no buzz ? this album had a buzz for almost a year. all those pre red mixtapes, nigga got radio spins, posted pics of him, dre & snoop in the studio, got dre features, dre beats, drake, radio play, tv play, used intercope like the album was dropping on intercope when it was really a geffen release and you saying the album had no buzz  ::)  nobody is selling albums now so its not really shocking but that album had the buzz most niggaz couldn't pay for.

@GangstaBoogy

Aftermath is a label on Interscope and Geffen is owned by Interscope too i believe, but it's basically the same thing.

So every Game album has been on Interscope.

Ugh here we go again.

I'm well aware Geffen and Interscope are the same shit. But contracts are legally binding and extremely technical. If the contract says "this artist agrees to release 5 albums on Interscope Records" then believe me the court will say he's only released 2. Jimmy Iovine doesn't strike me as a friendly guy who's willing to let his artist just fulfill their contracts and leave for another label. Unless he's just sick of dealing with Game, which is very possible.

You act as if Game doesn't have a lawyer who is paid to look at these kind of things. You can't just move things around like that and dodge your way out of a deal. Everybody is getting their points on these projects. It would be an even poorer business move, given the fact that with the steady sales decline on each album, DA and LAX would be bigger sellers than whatever Game has come out next

Geffen Records is an American record label, owned by Universal Music Group, and operated as one third of UMG's Interscope-Geffen-A&M label group.

Universal Music Group acquired PolyGram in 1999, resulting in a corporate reorganization of labels. Geffen Records, along with A&M Records, was subsequently merged into Interscope Records. Although Geffen would continue to exist as a brand, it was downsized to fit into the greater expansion of Interscope (who also took over distribution of DreamWorks Records). At the same time, international distribution of Interscope and Geffen releases switched to ex-PolyGram label Polydor Records, which had already been distributing A&M releases overseas (in return for A&M handling Polydor releases in the US).

Geffen's absorption of the MCA and DreamWorks labels, along with its continuing to sign new acts such as Ashlee Simpson, Angels & Airwaves, Snoop Dogg, and The Game, had boosted the company to the extent that it began gaining equal footing with the main Interscope label, leading some industry insiders to speculate that it could revert back to operating as an independently managed imprint at UMG again. At the end of 2007, however, Geffen was absorbed further into Interscope, laying off sixty employees.

I guess that explains why our opinions on his music are so different. I'm buying the retail versions and you're buying those special hater editions. I have all 4 of his albums and I know the middle two both say Geffen Records.

lmao so let me get this straight. You think Interscope let Game out of his contract to do two albums for another label when his buzz was at its height, then made him come back to fulfill the rest of his contract after his buzz went down significantly? Geffen is a part of Interscope, genius. Before the merger it was its own label, now all it is is a brand name. If it were a seperate entity, he wouldn't even have been there since Interscope owns him. They simply moved him from one brand name (Aftermath) to another (Geffen) due to label politics. That special groupie gatorade must make you extra dense.

Look at the top left. It's flashes between "Interscope Records", "Geffen Records" & "A&M Records". All three are the same.

http://www.interscope.com/game/media <---Scroll down. About half way down that page, they were promoting "LAX" in 2008. Why would they promote "LAX" on "Interscope.com" if he wasn't a part of Interscope?

It's all label politics

Quote
Does a record deal with a record label mean anything anymore, or has the long arm of corporate ownership produced one big company where affiliations are merely symbolic? Two artists - The Game and Drake - represent both the best and worst aspects of this system.

After The Game dropped the multi-platinum album The Documentary on Interscope Records in 2005, he was quickly shifted over to Geffen Records once the beef with his G-Unit labelmates became too heated. Since then, both of The Game's follow-up records - The Doctor's Advocate and L.A.X. - have helped fill to the coffers at the house David built. This business relationship has now changed however, and according to The Game's manager Jimmy Rosemond, the rapper's new album The R.E.D. will be packaged with the Interscope brand and not Geffen's. But what's the difference?

You see, Interscope owns Geffen, and Universal Music Group owns Interscope, so Game's shift "back" to Interscope is merely a symbolic gesture signifying that The Game has served his time down on Geffen Records and is ready to come back to the big leagues. But it's the same league.



What it boils down to is that record labels have a lot riding on brand differentiation and maintaining the illusion of competition and hierarchy in the corporate world. What Game has accomplished by moving to Interscope is equivalent to moving from the basement apartment to the penthouse. However, it's still the same building and all that rent money goes to the same group of people at the start of every month.

A real shift in Game's corporate affiliation would have seen the Compton rapper ditch the "Big Four" record label model and sign directly to an alternative form of music distribution. These alternative methods of moving music are quickly becoming the most desirable way to release content, because recording contracts with the "Big Four" are viewed as an obsolete way to make a buck in the entertainment industry.

Also, what that other guy said about Game's lawyers. When Jimmy or whoever was like "Game, you're on Geffen now". They didn't sit there saying "Oh, hopefully he falls for it"; obviously somebody looked over the switch to make sure everything was still in order.

As I said, its a brand name for Interscope to release music on. Read the article dude just posted. Then slap yourself.

And actually what Game said was "BACK ON AFTERMATH." Which obviously wasn't the case. And didn't someone say in the other thread that there's not even an Interscope label on R.E.D. either? Lol not that I bought this album, so I couldn't check for sure. You clearly have no idea how record contracts work. Game has dropped 4 albums through Interscope, regardless of what sub label they send him to.

Game has a lot of stans tho. Check his twitter, he got niggas going out buying 2 copies in exchange for twitter follows lmao

So they're stans because they wanted to be followed by Game? Would Jigga do some shit like that? Hell no. Because he has his head stuck up his ass. At least Game would actually associate with his fans, no matter how many there are. I saw that too but I'm looking at it from a hustling view. I bought my copy and I was good with that. But Game has given away a shitload of music this year.

Yes. I don't know if you have a Twitter, but "following someone" means absolutely nothing. If Game follows 1,000 more people it really doesn't change anything for Game.

Plus, it's just a scheme for people who are dying to tell all their friends "LOOK, GAME IS FOLLOWING ME" by Game to try to boost his poor album sales. Game isn't doing it for any other reason than that. Basically saying, "If you're a big enough loser to buy my sub-par, worst album, two times, I'll press a button on my computer to make you feel like it's worth it" lol.

^ I semi-agree with this queer for once.
Every day people who tweet are losers and this kinda shit proves it. These niggas saw Game's buy-for-follows offers and actually ran out and did it just for a twitter friend. Now I will admit Game is actually talkative with his fans but come on, who needs 2 copies of any cd?

The only album I've ever purchased 2 copies of is Doggystyle. And that was only because I upgraded from the cassette to the cd then realized the cd didn't have "G'z Up, Hoez Down" so I went on a manhunt for the original pressing then finally copped it for $20 off some seller on this forum.

Some people might buy 2 copies because they want one to listen to and the second to hang on a wall or display in the crib lol.
But honestly it sounds genius Game didnt have to much buzz around the album but hes getting people to buy 2 just to be followed
Game is his own marketing compartment lol.

I mean, it's lame from the fan's perspective who actually get a kick out of being followed and shit. But I don't see how Game should be knocked for that. It required no work on his end and he's gonna end up with 1000's of extra sales because of it.

I'll tell you what's lame - is Game's dumbass listening to some of these fans who take pictures of their CD and say "I also bought it on iTunes" and Game believes it and still follows them. But as someone else said - it's free promotion.

And it actually does affect Game. what does he have like 600K followers on Twitter? Pressing a button might not seem like a lot but do it 600 thousand times. Not saying all 600K did it, but think about an artist just sitting down doing that shit all day long. If Justin Beiber did that shit, there would be little girls commiting suicide if he didn't follow back. And yeah Game missed a few, but that's a lot of people. It was a good idea, but not so good execution.

I'm not mad. If it helps his sales then I give him props on the free marketing plan he improvised.

But from the fans point, shit is lame. These dudes actually ran out and bought 2 copies just to take pictures of it and show it to Game to get a virtual friend. L-a-m-e.

Like I said for Game it aint a bad look, he's probably not even the one (or the only one) running his twitter. But fans are in a look-at-me-please era right now

I believe it because 50 and them were one of the first artists to brag and boast about worldwide sales like that (GRODT sold 11 million, etc). If R.E.D. sold 50 copies in Nigeria, trust Game wants to know about it to add to the overall total. That way it boosts the numbers up 1st week and it does not look as bad.

Ex: "The Documentary" sold 3.5 mill in the US - Game says 5 mill worldwide (coincidentally the number he talks about selling on the album)

Lloyd Banks' first album sold 1.5 but he claims 3 worldwide. 

Yayo was the worst. He predicted he would do 800k first week and barely reached gold but of course in his interviews he claimed to have sold 3 mill worldwide

My question is where the fuck did they get these numbers? Ill believe it if any of them will post a picture of their plaques.

i can't think of anyone on here that truly hates game.
some people on here just shit on him for his actions, but most people listen to his music regardless.
sure, there are a few shock posters on here, but i wouldn't call them true haters

No I get it but some of these people take things overboard. Its not just with Game either. Ive seen them do it to other artists too.

46k for Australia is massive!

If those are real those are some crazy numbers.

I got my copy from my local store in Aus, and it was the last copy. Around 4pm on day of release.

Well done to Game. This album is solid.

Wasn't BISD first week counted as 2. I remember 50 somehow pulling the system around, if I remember correctley that earned him about 50k more in sales, so they did pretty much the same. Not to mention that RED is much better.

Shhh! Don't tell 'em the truth ;)

50 did about 90K himself check the real facts. Still don't understand the comparison though it ain't 2005 anymore all that G-Unit vs. Game talk should be dead.

exactly, it was released a few days early if I remember correctly due to the extremely early leak so he had a few extra days counted in the first week, and it came out in 2009 not even 2 years ago therefore it's a relevant comparison to Game's latest album sales 8)

R.E.D. album #1 in the world ! 96,418 copies sold in the U.S.. 47,016 in Canada... 68,135 in Europe.. 16,003 in Asia ... & 42,801 in Aus !!!
Damn near 300,000 units moved worldwide in a week ! Thank you for the continuous support........ On my mama I LOVE all yall for ridin wit m

Canada claim: 47,016
Reality: "The L.A. native's fourth studio release, the long-delayed "The R.E.D. Album," blasted in at No. 2 with sales of over 10,000, according to Nielsen SoundScan numbers...Adele showed she had game of her own, reclaiming the No. 1 spot with mega-selling "21" (17,000), and at the same time, sending Jay-Z and Kanye West's top effort last week, "Watch the Throne," (9,000), down to No. 3."
http://jam.canoe.ca/Music/Artists/G/.../18624031.html


Asia claim: 16,003
Reality: He has not charted in any asian country whatsoever

Europe claim: 68,135
Reality: United Kingdom - "The last new arrival in the Top 40 is The R.E.D. Album by rapper Game, which provides his fourth straight Top 40 success, debuting at number 14 (10,148 sales)."

you can't put eminem in that group. eminem is a talented rapper but he's also a white rapper that gets air play on rock and country music radio stations. he can go platinum if he only puts 3 songs on a cd. that dude can go 2x platinum is Europe alone. white people love that dude like he's the 2nd coming of Christ. when its all said and done he will go down as the most popular rapper is history, surpassing 2 pac and biggie.
