Chronic 2000: Still Smokin' - RIAA question

[adi760]

Did this album reached gold status? ANyone know how well it sold? Anyone know how sold albums from Death Row Like Too Gangsta for Radio, RRAGB, Nescessary Roughness?

[Hack Wilson - real]

It was 6x platinum

If u dont have anything to say just shut up.

[HighEyeCue]

it was never certified...it only had to sell 250k to go gold since it was a double album so I assume it did at least that

what are you talking about, woman?


it sold 3 mill copies x 2 discs

Actually, this album sold well despite recieving bad reviews - to my knowledge, the overall sales were around 700k so it should be certified Gold by RIAAA but if Death Row didn't push for it at that time, it probably didn't get certified at all.

I got somewhere a list of potential sales for every Death Row release - need to find it and take a look but as far as I remember, Daz sold around 317k in the US and over 500k worldwide. Lady Of Rage sold around 300k in the US - don't how the numbers worldwide tho.

Yep Snoop in some interview mentioned that Daz sold 350k of RRAGB.

One more question about Nu Mixx Klazzics - it seriously sold 700k? Only 10 well known tracks reached #15 on Billboard 200?

Well, technically they don't need to have been sold, only ordered and shipped by retail outlets, and the record company would have had to put up the certification fee to the RIAA in order to get them to actually count units shipped and then certify it whatever it is. So any albums still sitting on shelves count are counted toward the RIAAs certification numbers, while SoundScan actually tracks the over-the-counter purchases.

the reason All Eyez On Me was not certified diamond until yesterday is because Suge stopped paying RIAA like a decade ago (maybe longer)

true, Doggystyle is only at 4x platinum and The Chronic at 3x

Yeah, even though in the Death Row Greatest Hits album where they showcase the catalog and their sales figures, they claimed slightly higher numbers for those two albums.

[awol22222]

2Pac's greatest hits went Diamond like about three years ago.

[aerroc]

only reason this sold anything was cause people was mislead in thinking 2pac was alive and had new songs
