snoop dogg sales next week

[Conan]

I don't think anyone could fault the promotion - the album is being worked hard. Hopefully the album has legs, since "I Wanna Rock" is now starting to catch a buzz.

they are pusshing the promo hard. but are they pushing it the right way? for the right crowd? in my opinion they failed.

I'd say that they are pushing it the right way. There's been a welcome embracing of digital promotion (Snoop's Great 8 Countdown, Twitter, etc.) which is a good look - need to grant more interviews to online outlets though. He's also  been very visible on television and heard on radio stations so I can't really fault it.

As for to the right crowd - is that more of a commentary on the music? If so, I understand. Some people aren't going to appreciate the music that's being aimed at them on this release. If you're suggesting that he's marketing to the wrong crowd, though, I disagree. I think Snoop's longtime fans are aware of this album. Whether they buy it is on them.

damn, sorry to hear that. guess i was right when i predicted arround 60-70k for snoop, donno what to say, but with situation today, it was expected. hope I wanna rock will help the sales.

Agreed

i agree. he's making an album that doesnt appeal to his fanbase.
alot of snoop fans stopped buying snoops solo records starting from the 2002 release of "paid tha cost to be tha boss" and onwards.
from 2002 all the way to the present, he's been catering to the pop audience, and alienating his real fanbase.
when you only cater to the pop audience, you have to stay in fashion to them, and keep on switching up your style of music to whats hot in pop to stay relevant.
snoop is better off staying true to the westcoast gangsta rap sound, and people will buy his records for it.

How many big name artists are failing to sell big now, in the last couple months Rihanna, Mariah Carey, 50 Cent and now looks like Snoop, Timbaland and Chris brown are all sellin a lot less than anyone expected

All well deserved though, those album were all mediocre, playing it safe. I still think that good music on a major label sells well (Em, Jay, Kanye, Alicia...). I wouldn't count out Timbaland like that though, he only did like 120k with Shock Value 1 and he's got plenty of single material left on the album.

^ two not very good selling albums in a row pointed at a pop audience. Maybe Snoop takes an Ice Cube like route the next time around

your right on that. The album is being seriously promoted. Nothing failed there.

numbers could prove that it is a failure...I do not want to compare Snoop to Jigga (although they both released their 10th album) but although jigga didnt sell much on his first week, you could tell he had an impact, the ad for his album was crazy, the features had some Major and upcoming superstars, he had great videos, and great promotion stunts... and last but not least.. EVERYBODY has its favorite song on his album,  most of the songs on his album are memorable,  while on Snoopy's side, this album is just another reason why he will never be taken seriously

Went platinum. Sold very good.

[Detox Iz Not Active]

Dream track didn't catch on



people forget that Sexual Eruption was the #7 track on billboard

[2dog]

Gucci, Snoop, BG & Clipse - 4 hip hop debuts, not one hitting 100K first week 

Debuts?

[Detox Is A Myth!!!]

I'm glad this album is flopping.

[Blood$]

low numbers for Snoop but I kinda expected it to be honest

great to see B.G. is predicted to hit 40-50K, didn't expect that much at all considering he's just now starting to get a push from the label, he's even supposed to sell more than Clipse too.... damn

[kalli_weed]

..i guess this is a wake up call for snoopy..shit is not like it use to be before..snoop did release a few good albums but his fans knows he can always do better but he kept fuckin up.. we want a solid album with ur homies!!

[G-Funk]

a straight westcoast bangin gfunk style album like the old days.

that'd be pretty cool but thats not gonna happen anytime soon my friend.
