man,its hard to tell.i think hell do well.just depends how much push he gets from his label.geffen better not drop the ball with this one.this a real good snoop album so i think,hmm...200,000 - 300,000 if he gets the promotion but it will be tough with jay droppin the same day.but i think the album overall will end up sellin 1mil within some time after it drops.

LOL, Snoop will easily go platinum, he always went platinum. It's not a disadvantage that he drops with Jay-Z the same day, because many of them mainstream listerners will just buy them 2.

i'll buy - 70 PLN = 23 USD

Snoop always sells good. And this is a solid album. It has some really catchy singles. Some good Dre beats. So i expect him to go at least platinum.

Snoop also always has a hit single, tho (except with "Tha Doggfather").  I'll admit he should still sell Gold minimum, likely Plat, but he ain't gonna get much better than that.

ill hope he will go multi platinum. But it al comes down to promotion. I hope he gets the proper support. Snoop deserves it, hes a OG in the game.

The hit single from Paid Tha Cost To Be Da Bo$$ "Beautiful" came out so damn late, when he already was quite platinum. and I think the hit-single from tha last meal was "Lay Low"? R&G had the luck with "Drop It Like It's Hot" lol... But "That's That" is a hit-single for real....

Snoop Dogg would have a bigger impact if he wasnt in every songs and everybody's album. In my opinion, if you are a big  and respected artist , you have to check who you are working with, and if you plan of releasing an album that will solidify your career, stay away from the mic for a bit so people can expect something Great from you

Nah, look at Bun B, he was the feature-artist of the year last year.

 >:( Do Sales really matter? When R+G came out everybody was compaining how pop snoop went. Now that hes goin back to his gangsta roots, folk r still finding something to complain about. I should all be about the music, who cares how much he sells. I can understand how important sales are to new, fresh rappers like the game but snoops been around for 14 years, hes already dealt with the pitfalls of success. I just hope he comes with decent music.

Snoop will do well because he's Snoop (kinda like how Cube pushed decent units because he's Cube).

This album isn't gonna attract any teenyboppers, only his die-hard groupies who can't deny that this album is weak will buy it.....too bad for him, I'm not one of them.

So ya'll ain't goin to cop it? I will, just to support the West.

I myself like about 10 tracks from it. If he would have made the cd shorter it would have been a great cd.

Yeah, that's a good point.  There's a difference between over-saturating the market with your own shit (like 50 Cent does with his label's albums, his movie, his shoe line, video game, books, etc.) and teasing the public by doing guest appearances while they're waiting for your album to drop.  Snoop's been doing that successfully for 5 years now, so has Bun B, so has Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Luda, etc.  I don't fault Snoop for sticking to the script on that...he drops an album every 2 years (less if you count side projects like Tha Eastsidaz or 213) and he does lots of guest appearances on other people's shit in the meantime to keep his name out there.  That's a sound business plan.

On the other hand, Snoop usually does have a successful single or two (or a hot-to-death one, like "Drop It Like It's Hot"), and that's what always pushes his albums to Platinum status consistently.  Unfortunately, while "That's That Shit" is pretty good and there's a couple other bangers on the album (even if it's mediocre overall), I don't really think there's any "Beautiful"s or "Drop It Like It's Hot"s on there.

Man, Snoop album dope.....I like this shit.......Only a few wack tracks.......the 2 Dre tracks apart from Imagine are wack....and the rest is Great/Banging if not decent/average track...

Plenty of single material on there....

Anything less than plat will be dissapointing..........

Hard to say what he'll sell 1st week.....

And if he doesn't go plat, then don't cry when he decides to go all pop again...
Title: Re: Tha Blue Carpet Treatment - marketability
Post by: kroopy on November 17, 2006, 05:09:48 AM
around 200k in 1st week
Title: Re: Tha Blue Carpet Treatment - marketability
Post by: R-Tistic on November 17, 2006, 09:11:52 AM
I was thinkin somethin like most of y'all have been sayin....around 200 K...AT LEAST 150, and no more than 300 K. The album's definitely nowhere weak to me...he just has 4-5 filler tracks on it. But the first half of it is basically dope.

What's the least Snoop's ever sold?
Title: Re: Tha Blue Carpet Treatment - marketability
Post by: King Tech Quadafi on November 17, 2006, 10:17:30 AM
1.3 million, on Top Dogg....

that album actually only sold 180,000 first week. It was coming off the disappointing Da Game album, and everyone wrote off Snoops No Limit music.

Bitch Please pushed that album to platinum.

Paid the Cost did the same numbers too....also had a very weak opening week that was salvaged by Beautiful
