And there's no such thing as 'platinum worldwide' ever exist, every country has different standard for plaque. If you meant 1 mili then just say 1 mili, don't complicate the problem. I doubt it will reach 1 mili worldwide anyway, maybe next year.
And sorry but '4th highest selling hip hop record for the last year' is nothing to be proud of, who dropped last year again? Em, Jay, .. Rick Ross? Also yes, we can compare him to Em & Jay, he is (was) on their level in term of sale. Didn't The Massacre sell more than 1 mili in first 3 days? that's even more than Encore 0: Proof how much 50 fell off.
Who dropped an album for the last year and a half??? Pretty much everybody. How could you even ask that. Plus it doesn't matter who did, there's like Em, Jay, Wayne, TI and arguably Kanye who are gonna keep selling those big numbers. Then it's like 50 and Drake who are gonna be selling the numbers BISD did and all the rest are gonna be under that. I might missed one or two rappers but I don't think so. That's just period, not about the last year and a half.
You're right and I told you I said that myself, 50's sales are really bad comparing against his own sales in the past. See you keep brinding it on like I'm disagreeing with it but I'm saying to you think about how all the rest of rappers fell of in that logic. Don't look in the past, look at the numbers period because comercially numbers it's all that matters.
I mean EM sold nearly 30 mill worldwide with MMLP and now around 4 mill with Relapse, did EM flop too in that logic, fuck NO.
Debuting at #5, dropping to #20 in week 2 and #40 in week three is a FAILLLUREEE. End of. If you deny that you're... Well, just stupid.
Also that Em analogy with MMLP vs. Relapse is ridiculous. Relapse was the highest selling album of the year until Susan Boyle. It's all relative.
50 debuted at #5. Relapse at #1, stayed at no.1 for week 2 then moved ONE spot per week. THAT is a success. It shows it's being consistently well received and has staying power. 50 FLOPPED.


well kinda....
