These sales figures are basically only my opinon and not whats officially said on RIIA, but then again everyone knows that RIAA is fucked up. I have not invented these figures by Wild guesses but collected the info over the years on different sites, so they do have som credability, haha, but anyway these figures are not only the sales figures in the US alone but wordlwide :
Doggystyle :
This album was released at a time when Snoop were hugely popular and the aduience were hungry for an album from Snoop, he had alot of teenblopping fans ( just like Eminenm nowdays ) cause it was in to like gangsta rap,Dre and Snoop.
This album sold 6 million copies in the US, it is only certified 4 by RIAA , but I doubt that it only sold 4 cause I have read some places where its claimed that it sold 5-7 million.
In the rest of the world it sold somewhere around 4 million copies.
I can say this cause I live in Europe and I saw how hugely popular he became here at that time and his single even were a top 3 single in Europe. Beside this was the official sales figure listed up on a French channel back in 98.
So the total sales figure for Doggystyle is 10 million copies
Tha Doggfather
This album came out at a time when Suge Knight were busy robbing Snoop and the other Deathrow artists, he didn't even wanna put out a Snoop album, but cause Pac died he let the shit drop. Dre had left and Snoop reputation weren't the same cause of his absense from the scene for so long. Alot of his former so called fans abonded him cause they felt that Snoop changed too much.
In the Us this album is certified 2 million copies sold by Riaa, wich is probably right cause Snoop said it himself in an interview in 98.
In the rest of the world it also sold 2 million copies, cause Snoop said that shit in the same interview.
The total sales figures for Tha Doggfather is 4 millions copies
Da Game
Snoop left the row and went over to No Limit where he quickly relased an ablum that would be bought by alot of No limit fans.
And the Single Still a G Thang would make this album go almost gold in the first week. Most of Snoops former fans had at this time left him, cause they wanted another Doggystyle and Snoop wouldn't give it to em. This album is considered by most fans as his weakest.
In the Us this album sold somewhere near 3 million copies ( + 2.5 ) . It is certified double plat by RIaa.
In the rest of the world this album sold 1 million copies cause thats what I read in a magazine not so long ago.
Tha total sales figure for Da game is somwhere near 4 million copies
NL Top Dogg
This album was the one that reunited Snoop and Dre. And it is also the most slept on Snoop album. Snoop would go back to his own style after releasin an album that had too many NL soliders on it.
In the US this album didn't too well it is only certfied plat by RIaa, but I think that it must have sold atleast 1.5 by now.
In the rest of the world it only sold 500 000 copies cause all those who bought Doggystyle were now almost gone, Snoop had changed and they wouldn't buy his shit anymore, and beside it wasn't cool to like Snoop anymore.
Tha total sales figure for NL Top Dogg is 2-2.5 millions
Tha Last Meal
This album was released after Dres 2001 had blown up and put Snoop on the map again. It was the most hyped up Snoop album since Doggystyle. But the album was far from what some motherfucker thought it would be, instead of releasin what the mainstream wanted, Snoop did his own thang for his real fans.
This album is only certified plat in the Us but I read several times on some msg boards that Snoop were throwin a party for goin double plat, and tripple plat. I think that it did go double plat, but not tripple.
In the rest of the world this album sold 1 million copies , alot of Dre and Eminem heads bought it to, cause of Snoops performance on Dres album.
tha total sales figure for tha Last Meal is 3-3.5 million copies
-
So what y'all think about this shit, are they accurate or what ?
-
Dope man...Sounds pretty accurate to me, but i'm pretty sure "Tha last Meal" got certified Double Platinum...
-
naa...."LAST MEAL" certainly didnt go platinum in the US.. i saw it droppin..every week when i checked out the billboard site.. and it still was only platinum when it was in the 90 sumthin position.. and the next week it was gone... no dawg.. i am absolutely positive that it wasnt 2 mill..
-
and yeah doggystyle since then has easily crossed the 6 million mark must be now at sumthin like 8 mill baby... but DEATHROW wouldnt go and certify it so.. fuck DEATHROW.. it still standz at 6 million..
-
this is intresting, i've allways want to know how many records he have sold.
and if u inclued the 2 eastsidaz cds and the chronic(wich snoop raps as much as dre), he must come pretty close to 2pac's sales, right?
-
do u not include Dead man walking....??? or only the releases snoop was involved with..
-
Doggystyle- 6 million
Tha Doggfather- 2 million
Da Game- 2 million
Top Dogg- 1.5 million
Last Meal- 2 million
I'm pretty sure these are the correct figures in the U.S. only...
-
You are missing
1.Smokefest
2.Dead Man Walkin...
How many did "Smokefest" sell, anyone know?
-
I've raad Several places that The Chronic sold 11 million copies wordlwide, but it is only certifed 3 times on RIAA
Doggystyle is certified 4 times
tha Lastmeal went plat. after 5-6 weeks, it sold nearly 400 000 in its first week
the 1st Eastsida is certified plat. don't know how it did worldwide but since it wasn't released everywhere , I don't think that it sold more then 100-250 000 copies outside the US
-
Dead Man walkin sold 50 000 , didn't it ?
It was only released in the Us I think, and Smokefest wasn't even released officially, was it ?
-
"Smokefest" was released when it first came out in Cali, but then it went Out of Print...
-
that about it but that's not it,,i'm sure we didn't get the right #,, we got to ask snoop next time there a chat session ;D yeah doggystyle diamond e z even more cause it still sale well nowadays,,doggfather got more than 4 million ,, it's star with 2 millions n the same year i think was 3 millinons so it's around 6-7 now,, da game yeah 4 cause everybody was like , "man this album is wack , don't need to wast my money" but i found it reall dope for a 21 das of productions album...nolimit topp dogg was a deception this was a beautiful album but didn't sale welle from whut i heard maybe 2.5-3 millions,
n tha last meal is still selling , not so good now but still, so going to 4 millions by theend of the year maybe more.............tha bottomline is that bigg snoop is a multi platinum nigga,, some artists can't reach the gold mark so bigg prop to this dogg
-
Snoop doesnt know himself...
-
Dead Man Walking sold like 40,000 the first week it was out...I don't know exactly but I figure it sold around 200,000 copies...I have no idea about Smokefest...
-
Snoop doesnt know himself...
pleezbaleev that he knows, how do u think he got pay,, if not the guy just say ohh we sorry u just sell 10 album this week so we give u 60 bucks , better luck next time homie... come on
-
this is intresting, i've allways want to know how many records he have sold.
and if u inclued the 2 eastsidaz cds and the chronic(wich snoop raps as much as dre), he must come pretty close to 2pac's sales, right?
Snoop will never come close to 2Pac sales which are 33.5 million albums (in the US ONLY). Go to www.riaa.com and look for yourself if you don't believe me... (#2 is Biggie with 16.5 million albums...) Then you have Eminem, DMX, Jigga (all around 12-13 million albums in the US)...

Man, u're pushin' those Snoop sales to the roof!!! Lol... I don't think u're right though. I think TheLegend kinda got it right with his figures. I also was in Europe when Snoop first 3 albums dropped so I believe he's correct...
-

Yo, u gotta do ur homework, dog. Not only has LAST MEAL been platinum a long ass time ago but I heard on MTV that it was double plat now and I believe so. (I'm yet to see the RIAA certification though; I check Billboard all the time...)
-
Alot of the numbers over at RIAA are off, cuz they havent certified alot of albums in a long time. They still have Doggystyle at 4 million!!! I know for a FACT that Doggystyle has sold AT LEAST 5 million, perhaps more.
Doggystyle: 5 million [it could be more, but ill stick with this for now]
Doggfather: 2 million+ [this is correct, cuz the album was outta print]
The Game Is To Be Sold: 2 million
NL Top Dogg: about 2 million
Last Meal: Platinum
The RIAA is also off on Wu's sales and Bone's sales.

Anyone know how much "Smokefest" sold?
