Anarchy went platinum..........

Busta's previous album, Anarchy, posted similar numbers upon its release last year, selling 167,000 copies to debut at #4 in June 2000.

Even though it was released in conjunction with Busta Rhymes' theatrical appearance in the John Singleton-Samuel Jackson remake of "Shaft," Anarchy is the smallest-selling album in the Brooklyn MC's solo catalog. Anarchy spent only 14 total weeks during its chart tenure on the Billboard 200 and has tallied just 656,000 in sales, according to SoundScan.

The numbers for Anarchy are dwarfed by those posted by Busta's first solo effort, The Coming, which (after debuting at #6 on the charts in March 1996 with 124,000 copies sold) spent more than 20 weeks in the Billboard 200 on its way to selling more than 773,000 copies to date.

Despite the chaotic sales figures put up by Anarchy, Busta is no doubt expecting Genesis to return him to the fiscal level he achieved with his second and third records, 1997's When Disaster Strikes and 1998's E.L.E., which have posted almost identical figures with 1.64 million and 1.61 million copies sold, respectively.

Anchored by the rapper's breakthrough hit, "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See," When Disaster Strikes achieved the highest chart debut of Busta Rhymes' career by selling 165,000 copies in September 1997 to enter the Billboard 200 at #3 (trailing only Mariah Carey's Butterfly at #1 and LeAnn Rimes' You Light Up My Life: Inspirational Songs at #2).

Issued shortly before Christmas in 1998, Rhymes' E.L.E. sold more than 235,000 copies during its first week in stores, and holds the "biggest-selling-week" honors for all of Rhymes' albums. However, the holiday sales surge wasn't enough to push E.L.E.'s debut into the top 10 of the Billboard 200, as it instead spent its opening week on the charts at #13. Although it would inch up to the #12 spot in January 1999, it remains the only Busta Rhymes album that failed to spend at least one week inside the top 10.

Regardless of whether it can reach the magical 1.6 million marks of E.L.E. and When Disaster Strikes, look for sales of Genesis to breathe some semblance of life into The Best of Busta Rhymes, a greatest-hits compilation that has been commercially D.O.A. since arriving in stores in October. Since then, The Best of Busta Rhymes has only managed to sell a paltry 20,000 copies and has yet to move more than 3,300 copies in a single week.

 i found that homie, supports my statement i wasnt hating on Busta at all, like i said im a real fan of his music and that shit shows he was in a slump...not that i care i think "Anarchy" is dope except for a few cuts the first single included, it was dope...

i think "anarchy" did atleast go platinum....if not then it most of sold about 800,000 copies cuz i remember the source said it went platinum on their december 2000 issue when wu-tang graced the cover.....so i'm pretty sure its around platinum or atleast 800,000... not 500,000 lol
