dude eminem sales cuz he's universally popular.....he appeals to everyone AND he puts out quality.....he could get banned from MTV and still run shit MTV is pushing ja rule and jay-zwaayyyyyyyyyyy more than em , the vines are heavily pushed by mtv and they ain't doing shit.......MTV just plays shit that is already popular. they only played my name is late night when it came out......but once people started likeing it on radio mtv gave it more air time and people requested it more and more

So yah--Irv and Ja have to be freaking out when you compare their numbers to Jigga..ESPECIALLY when you compare to Em who is just running things.

I'm just saying that when you say he sold 600,000 units, that means he's sells 300,000 copies of his double album.  Every copy of his album counts as 2 units.

For example:All Eyez On Me went 9x platnium selling 4,500,000 copies

RIAA counts it as 2, Soundscan counts it as 1...Jay-z sold 545,000 double albums which the RIAA doubles and counts it as 1.1 million...Soundscan goes by the barcode on the CD which is scanned every time you buy an album from a major retail store...So 545,000 copies were legitamately sold his first week...

Okay, makes sense.  When I hear units for a double I always assume half that is the amount of copies are sold.

So Jigga went platinium in the first week.
