According to Hits Double Daily but we'll be really clear when Soundscans numbers will drop

I'm sure he would have sell more last year after "Best I Ever Had" success but well still good numbers tho
-
I expected almost exactly those #s. I said he would just miss out on Gold 1st week.
-
damn good number seeing how he didn't even have a hit on this album
if he dropped the album with Best I Ever Had as the single it would have done at least 800k

He should hit a million eventually; but I guess we all knew he would.
Agreed, if he saved "Best I Ever Had" he might be at a million already. :P

Good numbers I guess. Expect him to be a fad that fades quite quickly.

Find Your Love & Over are pretty big.
Maybe not as big as "Lollipop" or "Candyshop" were, but still pretty big.
-
Sounds about right, he was missing that number 1 single in order to reach a milli. After a month, it's a nice album and it hasn't lost replay value. Could've been better though.

Drake ain't gonna fade. He'll reach "og" status 1 day like Cube or 50 but he ain't goin nowhere, he's kinda already too big to fail. And no that's NOT a comparison to Ice Cube.
-
how dare you compare og certified to one of the worst rappers of todays time? lol

those are definitely some great numbers to have first week, especially in 2010, but had this album dropped a few months after "Best I Ever Had" it would have done Carter 3 numbers if not more
as far as the album goes, I still play a few tracks off it but overall it got old pretty quick
-
i personally thought he do more, the album's not to my satisfaction but from girls and kids it'll get a cena fan reaction yell
-
Anyone who calls this a flop in 2010 is deluded. That said, I'm obviously not the only person who figured the numbers would be higher.
Drake had a few factors work against him though IMO:
- As has been said, no single on the level of "Best I Ever Had."
- Probably one of the most widely publicized leaks of recent memory.
- I think his campaign went a little astray during the leak. Talking about Rihanna the way he did was a bad move ("I was a pawn.") Whether he felt that way or not, I don't care. What I do feel, though, is that his namedropping of her came across to me as shrewd, and an obvious ploy for attention. It didn't sit well with me. He has pushed that "angle" ever since the rumours began. I feel like he knows she won't speak out so it's become an obvious publicity stunt.
- Tying in with the leak, a lot of people were of course left underwhelmed. I think the album ultimately tried too hard to please everyone. It has been proven time and time again that this is impossible. He wanted to appease the people that lauded him as the saviour of Hip-Hop. He wanted to satisfy the women more drawn to his croons on "Sooner Than Later." He wanted to deliver that typical Young Money arrogance. Considering all that, Thank Me Later is pretty cohesive, but it doesn't mean that Drake didn't spread himself too thin.
Should still go Platinum, and nowadays that is nothing to frown at.

FLOP . all that hype and its still bullshit

I agree.
-
I enjoy the majority of the album but thought it had a minor hiccup with the swiizz beats tracks and that was due to swizz vocals

I really like that track. Its the Jeezy track that doesnt sit well with me. Due to the fact i think Jeezy is terrible.

dont really get the hype with Best I Ever Had, just sounds like every other song hes done, paint by numbers drake, rap a bit, try to sing the hook, add some autotune at points, and bingo!
as u can guess, im not a fan :-\

It's not that the song was so great, it's just that it was huge as far as singles go & if it was getting played on the radio while his album was dropping the sales would be higher.

think the UK is only really just getting Over played on the radio and on TV now, so while Best I Ever Had was huge state-side, over here he's only just really starting to get attention, or break through as it were...that would explain my ignorance lol

Yeah, for me it's just swizz beats voice. Drake should've handled the hook and Swizz should've stayed on production

Good Numbers.. Thou I Better Liked His Mixtapes..

:o :o

man all i know is this muthafucca can't sing fo shit live hahahaah, the equal was on leno last night and in the words of that fat bald drunk barkley he was "turrrrable" yell
-
Great numbers for the Justin Bieber of Hip Hip imagine if he dropped this album at X-Mass time when all the little kids had more money his sales would have doubled.
All in all good for him I hope he does platinum numbers soon.

Too bad those numbers are inflated...u know the labels buy up the albums themselves to increase the hype. There were many industry people saying they'd be shocked if He didn't go gold, well that's because they know that he is gonna be pushed to the numbers, because a lot is invested in him. The dude is all hype and his whole career has been crafted for him. He's half Jew so u know the label heads are gonna push him, and he's doing the blatant references in his clothes and raps about the all seeing eye, which he is forced to do by his label

Real shit jrome..didnt know he was a jew tho...that changes things nstantly
