 last album sold about the same amount.most ringtone rappers don't move many units.that's why someone like lady ga ga can be heard everywhere but doesn't sell albums she sells singles.its a different market.its a damn shame kardinall go thrown into that though.dangerous was huge but the album flopped.people have caught on to the fact that a lot of artists have one or two good songs and an album full of filler.artists have nobody to blame for poor sales except themselves.

i dont think thats true..pretty sure the last album went at least Gold, and with 50K first week, he doesnt stand a chance at gold.

iīm kinda dissapointed with those numbers coz UGK deserves to sell way more then that. but i thought Flo Rida would do a lot bigger numbers, i donīt mind his music actually. heīs a pretty good party rapper, and he seems like a nice guy which is more then i can say for most of these homo thugs.

75k, that's about the same amount of individual buyers they attracted with the previous album, except that it was a double album thus the numbers were counted twice making it 156K. Fair numbers in my opinion.

i thought they stopped doing the counting a double disc album as 2 copies thing... Im sure i read that somewhere.

well they donīt count them as 2 units on soundscan but the RIAA counts them as 2 seperate units when they certify albums. so the units on soundscan is how many they have sold in the stores thatīs counted by soundscan(soundscan donīt count most mom & pop stores and shit like that) and then the numbers are doubled by the RIAA.

yep, and itīs the same with a shitload of artists especially from Texas coz the the independet scene has been enormous down there. i remember when Restless dropped and several sites said that the album was pretty much sold out in every store in Texas but yet it only scanned like 20k the first week. but in reality it probably sold twice as much.
