Title: lol I just checked the dutch album charts ...
Post by: Elevz on January 28, 2005, 05:48:31 PM
The week prior to Jan 22nd... it doesn't show any sales, it's just rankings.

#10 Eminem - Encore
#26 Snoop Dogg - Rhythm gangsta : the masterpiece
#28 Usher - Confessions
#31 Destiny's child - Destiny fullfilled
#45 Alicia Keys - The diary of Alicia Keys
#55 K-Liber - Schuurpapier
#58 Ali B - Vertelt het leven van de straat
#63 2Pac - Loyal to the game
#78 N.E.R.D. - Fly or die
#80 The Game - The documentary
#82 Ashanti - Concrete rose
#95 Xzibit - Weapons of mass destruction
#97 Kelis - Tasty

Damn... I guess Game didn't really blow up here  ;D This was the first time in years I've checked on those charts, and it'll be the last time in a while also... It's fucking shocking to see how sad this music industry is, with hardly any Hip-Hop/R&B in it...

And Game... He didn't make it here. His single's finally getting some airplay - maybe he'll get some bigger sales soon. I don't know, for him I just hope so.

I guess he won't sell any good out here in Germany/Europe. I've never seen his video on tv, In Da Club was played all the time.

True...all of a sudden those typical groupies will be like "Wow, have you heard of that dude Game? He's TIGHT!!!"
I hate it when that happens...

Yup. Game is finally getting his first air play. His video is getting popular tho - I guess he'll be fine soon enough, but I just don't understand why they aren't really promoting Game in any way out here.

I guess in the beginning they want to put all the energy into the States,  because when its a hit in the US most of the time it also blows up in Europe

why is it sad that the europeans are smart enough to listen to better music.. ::)... you guys are acting like this is an incredible record that MUST BE HEARD.. and they are sleeping on it.. its just another rap record, and im guessing they could give a fuck less

Bullshit  :-X Look at those album charts - that's about all hiphop/r&b the average European knows of. There's loads more (and better) out there in the US, but half of the Europeans just don't pay attention to it.

And thats because they don't get marketed properly you morron. Nowadays its all about marketing. If good albums who are a hit in the US and the recordlabel choses not to put money into it overseas it won't be a hit no, but if they do they MOST of time they are going to blow up.

it's easy to blame europeans for their taste in music...i'm not trying to defend anybody, but where do artists like Royce, Dilated, Afu-Ra, Lootpack, Digable Planets, Hiero or J5 have a comparatively large fanbase? exactly....

yeah, i think that's the main reason... 50's in da club was a huge hit in the states already 2 or 3 months before the track got its first airplay overseas

He's #1 in every major city in Canada.  And he wasn't promoted nearly as much as in the US.
