Turns out he barely outsoled his sophmore brick, "Double Up". I was suprised to see this. To be honest, I was even expecting 1 million sales in the first week, but then when I heard it wasn't gettin much spins on radio and MTV, I reduced my estimate to 500,000. Still it fell well short of even that number.
I'd like to hear some opinions on why this album didn't put up big numbers.

album sales in general are down. How many artist push 1,000,000 in opening week sales now a days. Maybe 2 or 3. Shit how many people sell 500,000 there first week now a days. 10 tops. I was expecting more than what he sold. what he do, 118k?? I thought 250k he would of did but i was wrong. The thing with mase, he was a novelty act. Not murda mase, he had skill. Bad Boy Mase. And the novelty has worn off. It was nice to see him back those first 2 weeks but no1 cares now.

an by 2-3 pushing a mill a week, i meant durin the course of the year an the same is said for those that push 500k in a week, only 10 tops durin the course of a year.

Simple: It's wack as fuck.

The net, man. You just download what you want. I was mildly interested in the album, so instead of buying it, I just burnt it. Case solved. My money would have went to him, but because of the net and bootlegging, it's still in my wallet, and I still got his album. EVERYBODY does that.
-
i didnt expect him to outsell 213, basucally because he fucking sucks. But then he did outsell 213 by 19k... What a pity
-
people were happy to see him back, not happy to buy his album

LOL exactly what I was gonna say. There's no mystery or science to this shit.

I like the album, about 3.5 outta 5, i dont really skip a lot but no tracks really blow me away. Reasons it didnt sell: Wack first single, not everyone wants to hear a pastor's rap album, hes been gone 5 years, and with mase a lot of people never liked him to begin with, you either love him or hate him. Besides, theres a long list of people who took his sound and updated it, so hes gotta compete with them now too...............i dont really think 170, 000 is that bad though, not bad at all. Especially when his last album didnt sell that great either
Only a fucking idiot (and that IS what you are Hajj) would think Mase could sell 1,000,000 first week! You have to be either, Backstreet, N Sync, Eminem, or have an incredibly catchy single like In Da Club to do numbers like those.............
but really, the album isnt that wack, i mean what were you all expecting? Its not much different than his old shit, but no cursing and the beats arent quite as good as when he rolled with Puff, although this album IS much better than his last one.

I was excited about this album coming out but the truth is:
It's wack as fuck.

Another answer: The Will Smith clean, feel good, jiggy shit era happened in 98. If Ma$e was like that in 98, it would've sold but luckily Fab picked up right where he left off.
