Jay Z ended up pushing 170,000 units this week and Ja pushed 225,000. Jay Z can hold his head up though cos thats still around 700,000 in 2 weeks. But Ja Rule pushing 225,000? A lot of people figured Ja's sales would stomp over Jiggas-wow. ANd yes-very interesting trend of all rap, non-eminem related sales going down.
Homie....Em's sales are part of something else.Eminem would outsell Jesus right now.....Cause MTV say's so..Let's keep this straight post straight..aiight..OnEHatesrats 2002
Jay Z sold nearly 600,000 last week (over 600,000 according to hitsdailydouble). That would be the equivalent of 1,200,000 discs-but you count each sale of the double disc as ONE unit. This week Jay Z sold 170,000 units...340,000 discs.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...
