JADAKISS GOES PLATINUM!

JADAKISS/KISS OF DEATH/2004-06-15/1,000,353


Eminem´s still pushing huge numbers for a wack ass greatest hits album. GRODT OST starting to slip and won´t reach the 2 mill mark, Lil Weezy will most likely get another solo platinum plaque. Three 6 finally went gold on this one and hopefully they can´t keep it up and land the album at close to 800k. Santana and Cham will get their gold plaques aswell. wack ass D4L is still pushing units and that´s a damn shame. Mariah´s still pushing huge numbers and if she keeps it up she´ll fuck around and go Diamond for the third time in her career. Jamie Foxx pushed some serious units aswell and his label gotta be satisfied. MJB got her highest debut of all time and that´s great, pfff at the Biggie shit damn near goin gold it´s first week. and congrats to Jada coz now he´s official outsold Yayo by more then 550k on both of his albums

[Rud]

lol @ yayo

and yea im impressed by all the top 3, thats high sales in one week for 3 seperate albums, nice to see (in terms of the industry) i didnt anticipate foxx selling gold in a week nor biggie being nearly there...

props for the heads up, +50 for you

[ABN]

^thx but the reason for these high sales these past 2 weeks has been christmas. if you wanna be sure that you´ll go platinum release your shit around christmas coz even if you don´t debut in the top 10 you still gonna sell like 220k.

[Rud]

yea thats true, but because of that there is often ONE massive release that sells big, then 2,3,4 all fall with much lower numbers thats why some labels avoid the xmas period, but those 3 are "names" so they always gonna do well out the gate...

[Elevz]

That's so true... I mean, every single album has something like +20% this week

[UKnowWhatItIs: welcome to my traps....game over]

Jada finally platinum

[ABN]

Jada finally platinum

Jada now got 2 platinum plaques and he´s about 200 albums from gettin one for his first solo album. The LOX got 1 platinum album aswell.

[Elevz]

* puts on Jada's laughing voice: "UHH HAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

[Meho]

That's so true... I mean, every single album has something like +20% this week

[Meho]

* puts on Jada's laughing voice: "  U AHH HAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

 

[GangstaBoogy]

wow Mary J Blige and Jamie Foxx pushed way more than i expected

fuck everyone who bought a d4l cd!

[westkoastanostra]

so i c fat joe never went platinum then....

[West Coast Veteran]

Props to Mary.

I think that's the highest first week sales for a female R&B artist. Alicia Keys had the previous record.

Damn Jamie Foxx doing big things too.

[QCDutch]

JADAKISS GOES PLATINUM!

JADAKISS/KISS OF DEATH/2004-06-15/1,000,353

I got one of those   
but props to jada tho

[cmills133]

Mary's album is hot. I can't believe Jamie Foxx went gold in a week. Those are great numbers for both artists.
