Can anybody answer why this album wasn't even Top 100 on the charts? 

This was released at the end of 96' when Death Row was still selling top of the charts with 7 Day Theory and Doggfather going multi-platinum.  Hell, I lived in the midwest and nearly everyone I knew had the Death Row Greatest Hits album but yet supposedly that album didn't even go gold??  Never understood that shit.  Gridlocked went top of the charts didn't it?

Only thing I can think of was that it was a limited release.  Like not distributed nationwide.  I didn't actually see the album in stores until summer 97' I bought it used.  But I do remember the Snoop video getting some airplay.  This should've been a huge Christmas hit and stocking stuffer.

Some confusing sales from the end of the year at Death Row; off the top of my head..

7 Day Theory - 3X Platinum
Doggfather - 2X Platinum
Gridlocked - 1X Platinum
Death Row Greatest Hits - not even gold??  (wtf)
Death Row Christmas - doesn't even chart top 100?  (wtf)

early 97'

Gang Related - gold

Summer 97'

Lady of Rage - maybe 100,000 sold??

Spring 98'

Daz - 300,000 sold  (not even gold, wtf??)

SOME CONFUSING SALES NUMBERS THERE FROM DEATH ROW.  I know they faded by 97' but like I said, 1996 they were on top and everyone I knew bought Death Row Greatest Hits at the end of 96' and that shit supposedly didn't go gold on a double album??


no hit singles, lack of promotion

"Santa Klaus is coming to the Ghetto" was as good as any Christmas rap singles/videos can be expected to be.

lack of promotion... sure, but why??  Death Row was the biggest label in the world at the time.  Suge was getting locked up and they were crumbling but they still managed to promote Doggfather and Gridlocked

Because they didn't promote acts like

Sixx Feet Deep



Bad Girls Of The Industry



&

Guess/2DV



Or even

Operation From Tha Bottom



The Album dropped with all those Names people weren't familiar with, No Pac, Lack of Promo & U know the rest.

BTW: All three Songs are nice.

Merry belated Xmas Yall

but Reggie Wright Jr. said in a stream that it is R.L. who is singing on the "Changes" Greatest Hits version

There were some gems on there but there was also a lot of filler tracks by random artists nobody has ever heard of. Combine that with probably little to zero marketing and you have your answer

"Greatest Hits" went platinum in '99. "Gridlock'd" only went gold.

They blew the opportunity to promote RnB properly "Big Names" like Jewell, Danny Boy, Michel'le, not to mention or 6 Feet, BGOTI, Guesss/2DV
