[Shallow]

Those numbers suck if they're domestic sales. You sure those are worldwide numbers?

[MediumL]

if u think thats bad wait till you see 2009s.  Whos actually gone Gold this year?

BTW Damn Timbo sold well internationally. His album didn't even go plat in the US did it?

[KURUPTION-81]

Pretty interesting a lot of those albums did more than i thought especially ghostface.

[BakinSodaFree]

113 strong for Teck N9ne.. desvered thought...

[dubsmith_nz]

So that's U.S. and the rest of the world is it? Game be lying out his ass saying Doctors Advocate did 3 mil lol. Good to see Big Bang made over a milli, and Obie almost hit 500k, that's the appeal of having a worldwide fan base, people say they flopped cos of their U.S. sales yet they still sold better than most albums!

[V2DHeart]

How Pac's Life sold nearly 900,000 I'll never know, and that was at the higher end of 2007
