Eminem V. Rick Ross (sales)

[brockl101]

im not trying to be negative i just dont believe in false hope

False hope???????....................don't give up so easy it's still 55%.


p.s. HDD is always a bit inaccurate.

yes, it was 137000 last week fer em at 54% and he only sold 50 k more

yes, but eminems first week sales were only 300,000 something with only 54 percent in and he ended up selling 741,000. so he could still beat ross

[slicknickshady]

same, but im just curious d wat makes you so confident

You really have never paid attention to Hits Daily Double have you?

Just a couple years ago they had that Game had the #1 album over Slipknot. When the official chart came out Wednesday the band Slipknot had #1 on billboard. That's just one example.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Hope_Is_Gone

All Hope Is Gone was Slipknot's first album to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 album chart, outselling LAX from The Game by 1,134 units. Initially, Billboard published an article stating that The Game had secured the top spot with a margin of 13 units, in what was described as the "closest race for number one since SoundScan began tracking Data in 1991". After a recount 12 hours later, the article was rewritten and Slipknot was awarded the number one spot, having sold 239,516 units.

If you look at the hit's daily double chart from that week you see how they gave it to Game. So HDD is not always accurate. There are other examples. This one is just the freshest in my memory because I bought that Slipknot album and wanted it to get the #1 spot over game. I liked Game's first two albums but did not buy LAX because i wasnt feeling it.

Yep.

So while it's conceivable Rick Ross will get #1 it's not a foregone conclusion at all.

Wow im impress with ross, last year he had a good single that had good air and t.v play with Teflon don i didn't hear a single or video? plus didn't even see any promotion and hes still pushing 190k (better then last year) if he had a good single + promotion & weezy as a feature it could of moved 300k easily.

GTFO, you tried to make it seem like i said if he had weezy as a feature he would of sold 300k, no dumb fuck quote all my shit, i said if he had a single with good airplay and was well known & good promotion he would have sold 300k, fucking cunt.

Why did you throw that donkeys name into it?

He is gonna outsell Wayne so he def doesnt need him to improve his albums sales,fucking cunt

thats kinda the whole fucking task... if anybody has a good single and major artists featuring then ya, theyll probly sell more. but 300k is a major fucking stretch. b.o.b had a solid single and eminem and t.i. on that album and he didnt break 100k

[MayIAskAQuestion?]

Yeah I don't think features help that much.

I mean Wayne got Eminem on Rebirth and they are both with the biggest fanbase with Gaga. And Rick Ross will outsell it (perhaps).

You need to be a huge artist
Have a great album
To sell.

[RealSickLindley]

It all kicks off when he mentions Wayne lol

He's not doing it out of randomness, he's the big guy of rap, and em is only just reaching his level of popularity and relevance again. His name on shit, sells. You can bring up Rebirth, but unlike Em, his bullshit albums don't automatically sell. He has fans that buy for music, not out of 'loyalty'.

There's my piece anyway. And it would've helped, especially with Weezy on BMF instead of Styles.
