Some interesting stats there. Jay was second to DMX at the start of the decade and Luda was selling more than Jay too at one point.

Thanks for postin' these. Where did you get these from? Do you have any other lists like this for other labels like Death Row Records and others? Damn, i didn't know that "All We Got Iz Us" didn't even go gold, definitely Onyx's best album. "Judgment Day" and "Doc's Da Name" went both platinum, didn't know that either.

Scanned from the special edition XXL on Def Jams 25yrs.  You'd be surprised on the international sales as well. None of them outside of Nelly, 50, Em, Kanye and Outkast were doing 500k+.
