i must say i'm pretty impressed with these numbers. with 89% in it is very possible that he will break 100,000 in sales for week 1. i honestly didn't think he could pull it off. props. now, who wants to put bets on gold?  ;D i think that if that remix with kanye and game gets a video it's a good possibility (funny seeing as how that song isn't even on the CD). it'll be interesting to see this develop...

Anyways, the Bay ain't been up there since before 'Pac got shot. So it's all good, 40 Waters, bringing back the Bay.

Naw that's the final numbers. And it will go gold once that T-Pain single drops. And GaMe will be replaced by Ice Cube for the "Tell me when to go" Re-Mix although they playing the GaMe version on the radio all over. The controversy over his verse gettin cut is just more and more promo.

50 Cent ain't allowing it to be featured on the Official re-mix. Lil Jon and 40 didn't want to pay 50 for the verse. 50 is pimping GaMe right now. Shit's krayzie.

Anyone remembers how many units 40's previous album sold in the first week?
I seem to remember it also was in the top 5, I'm not sure though  :-\

Let's hope his sales don't drop too hard the second week. But those are good numbers for him. He needs a good 2nd single.

That's the word mane. I don't understand it myself because Scarface had a single with GaMe, but now I heard he supposodly paid 50 for it.

40 did 41,000 on his last album (With the Fabolous featured single might I add).

LOL.
Makes you wonder when "Doctors Advocate" will come out, if at all..

Game was supposed to be on the Bun-B album, and the Sheek album, I guess we know why..
At least he was on the Biggie album, but Puffy probably 50 off.

50 talked to lil jon and had game taken off, it was based on their personal relationship

and if i had to guess i'd say there are clauses in game's contract where 50 can still decide shit until the budget for his next album opens.

Damn yeah thats good for 40.. and its only week 1.. he could get gold easily if momentum doesn't slip

I urge everyone to give this album a chance or few... especially in a different setting. I heard it once.. I could get why people felt it.. but wasn't really grabbed by it.. then I put it on my phone (sony w800i walkman thingy).. and played it while i was working out a the gym.. and now i'm feelin the album much much more..

Definitely on my order list for when I import next..

Thats Crazy that nowadays all you have to do is sell barely 100,000 first week copies to be #3 on the charts, 10 years ago you would have had to sell ALOT more then that to be top 3 on the charts. So sad how CD burners have ruined Rappers Sales...... :grumpy:

Sorry, but that's BS.
There's no big name artists coming out right now, there's no Mariah, Usher, 50 Cent, Eminem, Backstreet Boys or whatever being released in March, they're just done with the Xmas sales, now they're all waiting to release the big summer hit.. that's why the top selling numbers are so lame right now, it's rookie/experimental season.
CD burners didn't ruin the sales, record labels ruined the sales, by refusing to adjust to the internet, they could sell billions of tracks if they got with the times.

The fault rests with the the major labels and payola.  If CD burners were the reason, 50 cent and Mariah wouldn't be 5x platinum.

40's sales have earned him #1 rankings in several key markets including:
The Bay
LA
San Diego
Fresno
Tucson
Las Vegas

#2 In:
Seattle
Portland
Kansas
Colorado Springs

and a bunch of top 10 markets.

As for that NY rumor, he only sold 629 but we know how that goes.

Dont forget he also sold 16K LEGAL downloads first week, damn good.

NOW WE KNOW MUTHAFUCAZ WEREN'T LYING AT SOHH, NY IS HATIN TOUGH !!!!

Count me in those 16k legal downloads... I just copped it a couple of days ago off iTunes (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=129020572&s=143441)

That shit is growing on me... it has some bangers in there.  And I agree with 'Seer... some of those tracks bang better in different scenarios... some are car bangers, some club bangers, some street bangers... overall, the album is nice!

Most people in NY and the East in general just don't like 40 and his style. They all hate how he raps and say "he don't talk about shit" "he raps off beat all the time" and all that. U know how that goes though
