top 10 selling albums of 2005

[Shawn Nutt]

this is just USA right?

yes, 50 did great but GRODT had sold 2 million copies more when i had been out for 9 months and 50 himself said that if The Massacre sold less then GRODT he´d view it as a failure.

A failure of milions of $  I wish myself failures like these

No doubt.

In Da Club was the reason GRODT prospered, because it was a big hit with pop fans (Eminem has many pop fans), and it was also gangsta at the same time. Nobody could listen to that song and be questioned about it. Where as Candy Shop was about fucking and sexual images, which took a small ammount of the pop fans away, and a large ammount of the gangsta population away.

GRODT was way better then the massacre for sure

[LyRiCaL_G]

yeah the fact grodt sold so much was cuz of in da club, but he has so much heat on the album to follow it to make him a made nigga, fact massacre sold so much was cuz he is a made nigga, he could have dropped encore and he'd have still sold the same amount....and that he had 2 catchy joints, shit thats gets ppl poppin in the club......magic stick and a lil bit........they may be weak but shits no doubt joints that will sell u records.......without making a in da club

by the way, whos sold more units, 50 with massacre or em with encore? both near 5 plat right?

I could have sworn I saw some numbers posted a week or two ago that showed Mariah had overtaken 50 with the most sales this year, and now 50 is on top by like 230,000?  How much you wanna bet 50's little hoe ass went out an bought 300,000 copies so he could finish out on top.

50 and mariah also re-released their albums they gained some more sales that way
