Would a Crooked I solo album go gold?
« on: November 05, 2009, 12:34:58 PM »
How many copies would a Crooked I album sell?

Bare in mind he will have no single playing on the radio or on TV.

40k?

Realistically, no. He's an indie underground artist, so going Gold would be the equivalent of going Platinum. Royce pushed 4,600 in his 1st week recently. Crooked would probably push about that much or less in his 1st week.

I'd say selling 50-100k total as an indie underground artist is considered a "W" in this day and age.

Snoop can barely go gold nowadays and he's a household name, Crook has no chance in hell unless Dre produced every song and Em and Lil Wayne guested on the single. Hed do about 30 to 50,000 which is decent for an indy artist.

the real shit is, the better you are the less you sell.

if he did more than 35,000 i would be impressed.

even if he got a mainstream guy on the single to boost exposure.

Untouchable would have went gold "easily" in 2000/2001 and then some, but with a current solo project, I'd doubt it'd even reach 100K. Although probably just under it

The Slaughterhouse project didn't even go that much. And that was pretty hyped for an underground album.
