THE Game - The R.E.D Album *** OFFICIAL ALBUM DISCUSSION THREAD **

[S2J]

100k in this climate is NOT a flop...

Fukin Byonce is only doin 300k first week.

 

[H-Rap 180]

Nah bruh Game did 6 million WW. RIAA not including something, I think wen they say an album is certified thats how much they believe it will ship the next time around. I remember Dr.Dre, Fif & Jimmy Henchmen talmbout how Game did 5 mil. Em did nearly 20 million on MMLP but they say it only went diamond. They gotta be missing something cuz they dont say Em did 70 mil in total but we know he did.....

I only speak on U.S. numbers, and RIAA certifications....Gold, Platinum, Dub-platinum, Trip-Platinum...diamond.

I'm simply going by how many copies were scanned based on the Soundscan here in the United States.

But for argument sake if LAX did 600,00 U.S. it probably did twice that overseas were people buy albums based on name recognition instead of knowledge of music.

To be honest the album at most is a 6.

 

[PLASTIC RULES]

Fictitious claims that you can't back up since this is the only thread I've ever mentioned 50 or G-Unit in.

But his last album sold more than the one before it did, so your claim is misinformed and stupid to say the least.

Normal people can make comparisons and parallels between two different time periods and still make sense of it.

A person who can grasp the English language would be able to discern that I compared the first week sales from both albums. 240,000 x .60 = 144,000. 240,000 - 144,000 = 96,000.....which is what Game's album sales are. Hence a 60% decline in first week sales in comparison to his previous album.

Your remedial math lesson for the day has concluded.

:laff up H Rap takes another L.

Game's "R.E.D" album arrives at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 98,000 according to Nielsen SoundScan, marking the rapper's third chart-topping set following 2005's "The Documentary" and 2007's "Doctor's Advocate."

98k.. and that's with no songs on the charts, no radio hit, or even a single that received some decent airplay. Way better than 50 only doing 114k with Baby By Me.

No need to get emotional and use words like "stupid", it's not an issues to get sensitive over.

No matter how desperately you want to label 100,00 a flop nobody with common sense believes you, and based on the overall sales of all HipHop releases your math dosent add up.

Many disgruntled G-Unit fans find it impossible to deal with reality, it's like they are stuck in 2003-2005.....the minute you congratulate Game they rush to talk about 50-Cent and attempt to tell you that selling 100,000 copies a week after WTT is somehow a flop.

 

[usmarin3]

Please forgive the 5,000 albums that I erroneously added to his total sales.



Your numbers are invalid.

The Documentary only went 2X platinum according to the RIAA and that was in 2005, His last album sold 600,000 in 2008 and this one is on pace to go Gold.

JayZ's "Hard Knock life" sold 5 million and His "Kingdom Come" sold 1 million so we can act like He flopped and should have done better numbers with KC or we can attribute the sales decline to the climate of the industry.

...besides I don't see any major fall-off in Games numbers compared to other artists.

Stop pulling numbers out your fucking ass. The Documentary sold 5 mil wordwide and Kingdom come went 2 x platinum, stop making up bullshit numbers niggas. If you think you think the RED album is going anywhere near gold you are seriously confused, not unless he has a smash hit on the album to give the album legs.

 

[StoneColdMikey]

98k with no airplay or good single thats great for him. and this a good album too

 

[gee757]

now that i think about 98k da 1st wk is a flop bein that gayme took almost ova 2yrz 2 drop this but 98k da 1st wk is still betta then wat anybody n da ggggggay-unit is doin minus woodface cuz sisqo & woodface is about even now but pussiez like lloyd blankz & tony gayo cant talk no shit cuz therr FINISH'D!,.,.

 

[usmarin3]

I swear Gee is one of the best posters up here. Not a biased bone in his body. Sticks to his guns and never backpeddles.

 

[bless the child]

No need for profanity and name-calling.....why call me a "niggas".
There's no need to pull numbers out of my rectum, the visual is a bit homo-erotic for my taste.

I'm not speaking on international numbers or record-sales in Sweeden, I'm going by the RIAA who tabulate sales here in the United States and award platinum certifications.

Based on their data Games debut sold 2 million domestically and his last album sold 600,000 domestically.

Now if you are from another planet or you live in Candyland you might say his album sales declined 60% or that The Red Album is a flop based on 100,000 first week sales but if you attempt to do so it will be viewed as misguided anger directed towards an artist who said disparaging remarks towards another rapper who many fans have an unhealthy adoration for.

Lies, lies, lies, and lies. His singles with chris brown got a lotta of radio and TV airplays

It doesn't matter which way you cut it, Game is Nelly,Ja Rule,DMX,etc status now. How do you lose that much of your fanbase?

Stop with the fucking excuses!

Not out here, but maybe in your lil area it is. That song gets 0 play on the radio or in the clubs. I saw the video on mtv a couple times and thought it would be big for him. (Its only so many songs Chris Brown can be on that will become hits) The world is a lot bigger than your lil area dude, stop thinking that cause you hear something on your lil country radio stations that it must be big every where else.

Getwitcha

100,000 is considered winnin now?
