Snoop, Jay Z, and Birdman all saw a comeback before the final tallies.  Snoop ended up around the 200,000 mark which sounds about right..we'll see what Billboard's official numbers are.

[P Nelson]

Thats good news, I excepted more from Snoop but its still an "okay" number

[DPGC2003]

I think Billboard's numbers might be even lower...Hits had Jay-z at 600k and Billboard had him at 545k...If it is at 200k it's a pretty poor number, Snoop's 2nd worst...At least he hasn't completely fell off the face of the earth like Busta 61k... Damn...

Yah..All things considered this is where I expected the album to land..in the top 10 around the 200K mark.  The industry is COLD if youre not Eminem, Jay Z, or Nelly.  Fat Joe and Busta Rhymes are coming off platinum albums and both of their albums are having NO impact.

And as far as hitsdailydouble being HIGHER than Billboards..it works both ways.  Hitsdailydouble was very high on Jay Z's first weeks, but also estimated very low on his second week.  Paid the Cost could be anywhere between 175,000 to 225,000.
