Title: Hip Hop Album Sales (Padded Room, Troubadour...)
Post by: RingMan on March 04, 2009, 01:50:53 PM: K'naan - Troubador - 15,288
Joe Budden - Padded Room - 13,561
B-Real - Smoke N' Mirrors - 3,828

I thought Joe will do more, everybody was saying, that AG shipped 70k copies and all stores had the album sold out...but props to K'naan, he made amazing album and he deserves it

So yes, this should include all online sales too..

K'naan had a good album..

FUCK SALES.

I disagree. Joe has a studio, Joe has other ventures where he makes money.. He would release music for free or try to set up an outfit of his own where he can sell..

Budden is the highest draw for A.D. right now, no way they are gonna cut their top act loose..

And even though SALES SHOULDNT MEAN SHIT TO US, that's not THAT bad of a number, considering the economy, the music industry, and the label involved...

But still every mofo I know knows Cypress and B Real so it was his album that surprised me with such bad sales! OUCH
