Some interesting stats there. Jay was second to DMX at the start of the decade and Luda was selling more than Jay too at one point.

Thanks for postin' these. Where did you get these from? Do you have any other lists like this for other labels like Death Row Records and others? Damn, i didn't know that "All We Got Iz Us" didn't even go gold, definitely Onyx's best album. "Judgment Day" and "Doc's Da Name" went both platinum, didn't know that either.

So this is just American sales I take it? Damn some interesting stats in there, I always assumed all the first generation Roc releases went platinum

Scanned from the special edition XXL on Def Jams 25yrs. You'd be surprised on the international sales as well. None of them outside of Nelly, 50, Em, Kanye and Outkast were doing 500k+.

The artists (bar meth and red) in the last row are depressing. lol Ace Hood flopped horribly. If Triple Cs fail Khaled could be out of a job...

Tbh neither had huge singles. If they'd both had a top 5 single their numbers would be a couple 100,000 more.

Maino had to number 1 singles, Flo Rider had a heap, big singles don't equate to sales anymore sadly

But Ludacris and Rick Ross have a brand already established and its just the need to promote their names through having a hit single. Florida and Maino are new artists and have yet to fully gain acceptance as album artists. People simply bought their singles for beats, catchy and features. If they could establish themselves as credible album artists then a hit single would help their sales.
Take 50. If he has a hit single his sales would be a lot more than if he dropped his album now hence the delay of his album. 50 can put JT and Timbaland on a single and use it to sell his album because hes already established himself. If Maino were to do it it wouldn't have worked as well.
