Tbh neither had huge singles. If they'd both had a top 5 single their numbers would be a couple 100,000 more.

Maino had to number 1 singles, Flo Rider had a heap, big singles don't equate to sales anymore sadly

But Ludacris and Rick Ross have a brand already established and its just the need to promote their names through having a hit single. Florida and Maino are new artists and have yet to fully gain acceptance as album artists. People simply bought their singles for beats, catchy and features. If they could establish themselves as credible album artists then a hit single would help their sales.

Take 50. If he has a hit single his sales would be a lot more than if he dropped his album now hence the delay of his album. 50 can put JT and Timbaland on a single and use it to sell his album because hes already established himself. If Maino were to do it it wouldn't have worked as well.
