Where you got the numbers from?
And how much records must be sold to get platinum status?

Platinum is 1 million copies sold......

unless its a double album (betterdayz), it would only have to sell 500,000 actuall units to become certified platinum.. kinda a weak way to say you "went" platinum IMO.

If a double album counts for 2 sales instead of one, then Snoop will have sold almost as many copies as Pac did.  That's not bad at all.  Besides, there was tough competition this week.  Expecting huge numbers doesn't really make sense.  In the last few weeks, everyone from Ja Rule, Missy Elliot, Fat Joe, Busta Rhymes, Tupac, Baby, Erick Sermon, Jay-Z, and more have come out.  They're all going to cut into each others weekly sales.

2Pac's sales nearly double Snoops--its not a matter of Pac's numbers being doubled.  All things considered-Pac's sales are where I expected them and so are Snoops.  I cant get over Busta's numbers though--ouch.

snoops album isnt selling for reason...it sucks...and its not gonna pick up once the word gets out on it

Doesn't a double CD count for 2?  If someone sells 500,000 copies of a double CD, 250,000 CD's were actually picked up and purchased by someone, but it counts for 2, right?

Whether the album sucks or not is your opinion.  But to say the album isnt selling because it shows it sucks exposes how little you know about the industry.

Jay Z wasnt joking when he said the only people pushing units are him pimp juice and em.  It's the truth.  Snoop will go platinum but he wont go double.  FTCTTP is a huge hit on BET but that wont make the sales increase.  Beautiful will probably be huge too..but people are only buying Eminem, Jay Z, and Nelly in huge numbers.  That is the truth so I dont want to see everybody shocked when Nas doesnt go Platinum in a month like Jay Z will.  Selling power these days is not what it was a few years ago.

I think Nas is gonna do big numbers...Nas got NYC which is the largest market in the country and he's also dropping the week before Christmas...I think he's gonna do 300-400k first week...

Alright, at 87% of tabulated sales, here are the figures...

2Pac    292,560    #5 on the charts
Snoop  136,401    #14 on the charts

WOW!!  :o
Seems as though Snoop MAY not even reach platinum
and 2Pac won't go 2X platinum. Westcoast is dying in front of our eyes. This is really sad, man

lemme cee if i understand this correct...

snoop sold 130'000 albums during 3.5 days
and then... approx 26'000 during the following 3.5 days  ::)

resulting around 156'000 during one week??

during the second half of the weak he will only sell 15% of what he sold the firts half of the weak???

sounds like BULLSHIT

and how much is he gonna sell next week?? 4000 copies??? ::)

If he ain't gon' go platinum, it'll atleast teach him a lesson: He's gone too far tryin' to please everybody, he should just stick to the West Coast sound.
