^ NA is a fail at the radio was I wrong? it didn't even get to top 20

it don't matter..it's still top 10 on iTunes
plus when you can sell 750k first week, radio is pretty much irrelevant

You said it will fail in Itunes, and as you can see its still in top 10

another hip-hop fan with first week obsession. Seriously, longevity is MUCH MUCH more important than first week sale. Relapse opened huge too but fell off radar right after that because of the lack of singles. BEP opened with 300k last year, half of Relapse yet they're keep selling and reaching 3x platinum now. Why? because their singles are successful.

yeah I did miscalculated a bit on sale, but it's a moderate hit, not a smash, and I was still right about its radio fail. It definitely did help sell the album though. Imagine if it had support from the radio like Cali gurls, it would have stayed on top longer.

It's pretty sad how obsessed you all are with sales. Surely you enjoying the music is more important that it selling well?

Preach my brother!
Honestly I've never understood why people get so worked up over sales, its not like their getting the money themselves!
But whatever flots your boat

Jay Z had hits...and look at how Relapse sold more than BP3
the only people radio hits have made a huge difference are Gaga, Swift, and Black Eyed Peas
and there's no doubt Recovery will be triple platinum this time next year

I agree.

Stop talking bulshit, you are right about Relapse singles longevity, but saying Not Afraid is a flop

[slimsoxshady]

not to mention that out of the 22 artists in front of Not Afraid on that radio chart, 15 of them aren't even going triple plywood let alone triple platinum

Not that i care but ur totally wrong, where is BEP3 right now?
Relapse is still top 50, BEP3 is probably between 60-70. Not to mention Relapse is 300k+ away from BEP3!

you mean it's in front right? cuz saying it's "away from" implies that Relapse is behind

[Alaine]

@Unscarred
do you even know about the stats? it failed on the radio ok, never even made top 20. But overall I said it's still a moderate success because of the sale & the positive response.

I was talking bout Black eyed peas but you meant like Blueprint 3 right? 1, Relapse has a re-release 2, Recovery just got released, it's normal that people will buy Em's last album along 3, Em's numbers are USUALLY milless ahead of Jay-Z but this time it was so close, that's nothing to be proud of really.

[slimsoxshady]

but here's the thing though Alaine, you're talking all this shit about how Relapse also did great first week just like REcovery did...but you seem to never mention the fact that LTWYL will be top 10 on iTunes and top 10 on radio for months, so theres your hit single...while Relapse had Beautiful flop after release

[BILI]

It's pretty sad how obsessed you all are with sales. Surely you enjoying the music is more important that it selling well?

This

I dont care how much artist will sell,I mean I like when they sell good,but damn if I only cared about that then I would never listen to underground rap
