  9. seemoregan says:

    Good first week numbers… Especially for Ye who didn’t make a radio friendly album!

  10. ZoomZoom says:

    YOU GUYS NEVER HEARD OF POWER AND RUNAWAY ON THE RADIO?

    GOOD FOR BOTH I FEEL BAD FOR THAT NIGGA BANKS THO…

    NICKI WILL BE PLATINUM BY MARCH-APRIL… KANYE WILL BE PLATINUM BY JAN-FEB

    LLOYD BANKS WILL SEE 100K BY NEXT NOVEMBER LOL!

  11. Stu says:

    Is is that hard to sell hip hop records this days??
    The albums both went for under $5 on Amazon and they did these numbers??
    At least Yeezy went gold in the first week

    Nicki what happened to all ya Barbies’s on twitter?? Do they just follow you for following sake???
    But smh at Banks.. Great album but weak weak sales

  12. So Icy Boi! says:

    Kanye had songs on the radio but wasnt top 20 rap or pop hits people really brought that album ? wit all them old songs on it or the label did….where is Lloyd Banks? papper or plastic ? lmao at you g-unit n!ggaz sayin he gone sell 300k or even a 100k its not 2004 anymore NY stayed behind

  13. So Icy Boi! says:

    lmao @ZoomZoom

  14. Ant says:

    @B.Dot

    Of course he had promotion but what single off that album was even close to being as big as “Stronger” or “Heartless”. “Runway” was the closes thing to a hit and even that didn’t exactly set Billboard on fire. All things considered those are impressive numbers.

  15. Fuck your stats says:

    these numbers are way off but Banks dropped a classic and only sold 50k shoutout2 kanye and nicki though even though nicki should of sold more

  16. banks says:

    lol banks album is 5x better then both fuckn albums this weaties box pop music needs to stop sisssy music!

  17. Itz Yourz says:

    helll yeeaaahhhh. Thats a win for hiphop/rap. Take susan boyle and Talyor Swift down!

    Congrats to Yeezy and Nicki.

    Where is my boy banks? I know he gotta be in the top ten!

  18. ZoomZoom says:

    LOL @SO ICY BOI!

    NIGGAZ IS BURNING THEY G-UNIT CLOTHING AND HANGING IT ALL UP NOW… RICK ROSS WON!

  19. Kofi says:

    Didn’t Nelly have like two singles in the top 40 on Billboard and he sold less then 100k in his first week. This is proof that hits don’t always equal album sales.

  20. studiothuggizmz says:

    @zoomzoom lol *dead* I knew banks wasn’t gonna sell no way!

  21. Fuck your stats says:

    rapradar yall pussy ya better go hard til the FEDS come get yall which will be soon yall dont even post album leaks ya safe as new bron in the hospital but how ya twitter got hacked hmmm i wonder lol but neway ya need to post whateva the fuck yall wont i hate this site but yall are always up to date with shit dont be scared to post shit now on smash was trash anyway

  22. Chi-Town says:

    Keep it funky I wanted to support Banks but his shit was like $17 the first week it came out at Target what happen to $10???

  23. PE says:

    they played runaway on da radio in my city a few times, just sayin

  24. NotoriousRambo. says:

    HIP-HOP IS OFFICIALLY DEAD SMH ALL THE QUEERS CAME OUT IN SUPPORT OF NICKI

  25. ACID-KO says:

    What’s the first week for Banks?

  26. NVR says:

    For all the lazy people:

    Kanye 518k

    Nicki 371k

    Ne-Yo 117k

    Lloyd 45k
    Jay-Z 26k

  27. B.Dot says:

    @Ant
    ^
    Power was/is a big song

  28. So Icy Boi! says:

    haha @ZoomZoom Lloyd Banks CD is the official world wide weed plate

  29. Ant says:

    But it didn’t chart well that’s my only point. Kanye traditionally rides a gigantic single into gigantic first week sales I remember him saying before playing Heartless on the radio for the first time that he KNEW it was gonna be a number 1 single and the mother fucker was 100% right. But this time he had no Billboard number 1 song or even a song riding in the top 40. That’s why these numbers are significant to me.

  30. Belize says:

    Congratulations Kanye! Keep winning, proving mufuckas & crackers wrong!
    smh @ Onika selling that many. 371049 men bought the CD lookin for ass shots, didn’t find any, then gave it to their nieces. Which is sad cause that means Onika is the next Hannah Montana, ruinin 7 year old girls’ minds. Plus she’ll start being more of a self-centered, not caring about anyone other than herself and Wayne’s dick self. Dear God help us.

  31. NVR says:

    It’s more interesting to know what Kanye did worldwide, he’s probably platinum already, I doubt Nicki sold alot outside the US. I KNOP I COPPED MBDTF HERE IN THE NETHERLANDS!! lol

  32. So Icy Boi! says:

    niggaz sayin Kanye album a classic? he just gave yall music wit no effort in it …he fell off

  33. Big Meats says:

    damn i heard an interview of 5o sayin he funded banks project…guess theres some paying back to do

  34. John says:

    Damn, no top 10 hit for Ye. No promotion for the last 2 weeks. Controversial album cover, controversial album name, had the whole fucking country scrutinizing him for the whole Taylor incident, the leaks that happened like a month earlier, controversial statements (staying real 100% of the time though), niggaz thinking Runaway and GOOD Friday would ruin the album because he put the songs on, no proper interviews other than 1 or 2 radio interviews, 2 performances, and my nigga comes back at number 1 with better numbers than 808s. Kingggg.

    Hopefully for the next album since he finally broke that ‘will he still be successful’ thing, people are more accepting as a whole and he can do shit properly (proper promotion, not dropping his first single 6 FUCKING MONTHS before the album, not dropping all the songs and than changing them) and dropping a radio friendly song like Stronger/Golddigger/Heartless.

    Oh well, the mixture of the 92 on metacritic and the 3rd highest opening this year (behind Em and Taylor) – this nigga runs this shit.

  35. mac DIESEL says:

    “POWER” “RUNAWAY” AREN’T MAJOR HITS!!!! “GOLDIGGER” “STRONGER” ARE MAJOR HITS!!!! “POWER” “RUNAWAY” DIDN’T GET THAT MUCH SPIN!!!! I HEARD “POWER” MORE ON TV THAN ON RADIO OR IN THE CLUBS/BARS!!!! BUT I GUESS IT’S WHERE U LIVE AT!!!! FOR HIM TO SELL THAT MANY RECORDS IN A WEEK WITHOUT A HUGE HIT SINGLE IS AMAZIN’!!!!

    ….AND NICKI MINAJ WOULDA SOLD MORE IF HER CD CAME WIT A SEX TAPE!!!! HA!!!!

    DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

  36. NBL says:

    @NVR u right MBDTF were sold out in Paris

  37. az5lyrics says:

    DAMN THIS WHITE SUPREMACY, TAYLOR SWIFT ALBUMS SALES JUMP ALMOST 80%. WHATS HAPPENING IN THIS WHITE WORLD.
    GOOD NUMBERS BY KANYE AND NIKKI
    LLYOD BANKS FLOP HARDER THAN SHIT
    G-UNIT IS DEAD

    HOV THE G.O.A.T.

  38. Belize says:

    Damn. I’m surprised Ne-Yo sold that much–I’m glad he did, cuz album’s good–but it had real little hype. But only fucking 45k?????? That’s real disappointing. IMO HFM2 was 2x > MBDTF. But Pink Friday selling more? That shit’s depressing. Guess my 10 copies didn’t do any good. Sorry Banks, that shit sucks bigtime. Hopefully it sells a few thousand more at least. HFM2 ain’t a classic though really. Graduation is better. HFM2 imo is classic, but that’s too bad. Music is fuckin dead. ;(

  39. Drucifer says:

    Who the fuck said Kanye didnt have a radio single??

    I wish I lived where ya’ll live man, They play that gay ass “Runaway” song down here in Tampa non stop it seems, anybody wanna trade cities??

    Funny thing is so many people online for were on some un-realistic “Kanye gonna do a milli in a week” non-sense, I should have taken bets, lol

  40. Sealey says:

    so if it’s still on Roc-a-fella is Dame still getting cake of ‘Ye……I hope so. Sure he could use it

  41. money mitch says:

    @belize

    lol dont front like u spent 150 bucks on banks cds, lyin ass

  42. JD says:

    nice YE!
    fuck nicki
    now lets see how “Watch The Throne” & “Carter 4” will do?

  43. RC says:

    I found myself counting units for awhile myself.

    Then I came back to my senses and realized how stupid it is to worry about who sold what.

    I didn’t like Kanye’s Good Friday joints that much at all. Monster was the only one I really listened to.

    I don’t listen to Minaj at all.

    This is the internet. They say this is the world at your finger tips. People got so many choices on this bitch for music. And they still only talk about what these labels are feeding you.

    People are fkn crazy. They sheeple. You been wearing the clothes forever but you look in the mirror and see something totally different.

    You same niggas in here trying to clown banks should have be supporting him for putting out good music and hardwork. Str8 no chaser.

    But you wanna pontificate on Kanye’s bullshit and this Minaj Gimmick.

    I said my piece. Fuck it.

  44. Thank Me Hater says:

    I’m just glad taylor not gonna be number one no more so fuck it

  45. gusto says:

    Banks put out a great album.
    It just shows where hip hop is at right now, it’ll come back to the spitters.
    Sales dont determine how good an album is, Banks albums is better than both of these albums.

  46. i said YERR says:

    fuck record sales, shits a JOKE.
    LLOYD BANKS dropped a street CLASSIC. we got features from STYLES P, PUSHA T, JUELZ, and FAB.

    BEAMER BENZ n BENTLY hit of the year … HARD! fuck that bubblegum rap.

    the whole hip-POP music needs to stop, that shit is sissy music

  47. SwallowMyNutz! says:

    Can’t fuck with Ems#s!As usual!This is the year of Recovery!!!#s don’t lie HATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  48. ARon says:

    GET OFF BANKS’ DICK!!!! god damn all you jump on him like hes some rap god all a sudden bc hes the underdog here. he dropped a typical rap album nothing new nothing special. i listened to it but no way in hell can it be considered a classic. raps the sameeee shit every song, and had typical rap album features…im a huge kanye fan and honestly wasnt blown away by his album either, not enough lyrics for me. but lets be real banks aint nothing new his type has been seen before and will eventually fade. once j cole drops his album you will be saying banks who??

  49. fuck kanye says:

    WAIT…KANYE SAID HE HAD NO RADIO RECORDS? NO HIT SINGLES? AND NO CHART TOPPERS?

    SO HE DISSED HIMSELF.

    -BC HE WAS ALL ABOUT THE POWER!!!
    -AND HE MADE A MOVIE ABOUT THE SONG RUNAWAY!!!
    -HE APPEARED ON A FLOAT
    -HE SAID POWER VIDEO WAS A MASTERPIECE

    -SO UR SAYING HE DIDNT PROMOTE HIMSELF, WHEN HE WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE???

    IS THAT HIS EXCUSE

    WAIT….WHAT DID EMINEM DO?

    741K

    DIDNT KANYES ALBUM SELL FOR $4.99???

    OF COURSE PEOPLE GONNA BUY AN ALBUM FOR $5.

    BUT IF THATS THE CASE, HOW DID TAYLOR SWIFT SELL 1 MILLION AT $15???

    AND THE FAGGOT ONLY SELLS HALF

    EPIC FAILURE

    KANYE IS A FAGGOT

  50. Niyemortal says:

    Power was a huge song, and lets not forget “So Appalled” I dont know about anywhere else but the DMV has been playing those songs repeatedly out of peoples cars and on the radio ever since the GOOD Friday drop

  51. bigjay2501 says:

    they fucked up the shipping for Banks album. I went to the target and best buy nearby and they didnt have the album.

  52. RC says:

    We all know who really buy albums.

    Niggas is riding around with Sharpie writing on their CDs.

    Talking about sales. Niggas never cease to amaze me.

  53. damm says:

    good things see if nicky can beat the 2 mil kim did with her first

  54. Word says:

    Damn Banks I was rooting for ya.

    Good shit Ye, Good shit Nicki (your album wasn’t as horrible as I thought it’d be)

    I hope Cole does at least 100k when his shit drop.

  55. still best rite now!! says:

    “no radio singles, no number 1 record, no top ten record…” – Kanye
    Congrats to both!! I cant wait ta see what Banks did tho… i see they laying out the “they didnt ship enough excuse already” smh

  56. YaBoiSteph says:

    good day for hip-hop

  57. tr says:

    @B.Dot we ain’t talking Hot 97 / Shade 45 / Hip-Hop nation

    Ye didn’t have hits like Stronger this time around and many album songs were officially released by him.

    He should consider it a miracle he sold that much lol.

  58. Power charted at #22 & Runaway charted at #12 on the Hot 100. And over here in SC, Ye got no radio play this time around. His past 4 albums all had top 3 hits that went hard with radio play. Nigga didn’t do nothing besides that parade to promote it, during the release week. No late night talk shows, wasn’t on twitter, nada. He should’ve released All Of The Lights as a single b4 the album dropped with Rihanna on the hook, that thin would’ve soared into the top 10! Gold in a week, is still very good numbers though, one of the best debuts of the year. Now I wonder what “Watch My Throne” is gonna do? Every album Hov had put out from Blueprint on, had did at least around 450k the first week, (American Gangster did with no big singles at all, and wasn’t even available on itunes). So I think that these two together with the right single(s) could pull about 600k-700k maybe. Time will tell…

  59. rico says:

    LOOL @ BANKS I REMEMBER LAST YEAR WHEN ROSS HAD A MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR HIS CAREER ITS TIME FOR US TO DO THAT AGAIN LMAO

  60. BBoggz says:

    Nicki the big winner. I never thought she would sell that many copies.

    People need to give banks a chance. his disc is hard for being on an independant label his sales are not that bad.

  61. Young Mo Fo says:

    Cosign @Mac Diesel lol.

    Minaj should just give us a sextape already. If not then Lil Kim is gonna eat her….I mean rap-wise.(But not really)

  62. Oh, and for real, I think they did under-ship Banks because I went in Target to cop MBDTF, and I was like fuck it, Imma cop HFM2 while I’m at it, then I looked and didn’t see it at the front section of the CDs where the major new releases go, so I went back into the Hip-hop section, and searched it 3 times over…no trace of it. I remember seeing it in FYE later, but the only version I saw was like, some $18 version with a big ass t-shirt to go with it. Banks got fucked over big time!

  63. Big Meats says:

    sales are coo but rappers still get a good amount of money from tours endorsements n all that good stuff

  64. Natasha says:

    I’m not surprised that Taylor’s sales are high – whites comprise 66% of America’s population. The fact that Kanye sold half a million records in one week after the media bashing he underwent is testimony of his sheer genius, drive and hard work. Let’s face it, his album is EPIC. The best album of the year. His international sales will be through the roof!

  65. smokeyou says:

    thats cool. I like kanye’s album alot. Didn’t buy it though. Might pick it up eventually. But i doubt it. lol. Damn Taylor donkey punched kanye in sales this time around.

  66. Young Mo Fo says:

    PS.
    I went to Best Buy and got Kanye’s album. Lloyd Banks’ album was on the shelf like two CDs down. So no excuses! Nicki Minaj’s CD was sold out by the look of it, her spot on that same shelf was empty, and they mustve shipped a lot of Kanye copies. Lloyd Banks album was better than Nicki’s IMO. But Kanye’s was the best album of all 3 of them. I dead ass got all 3 bootleg, from a torrent not this site, listened to it and bought the best one. I got Kanye’s. Banks album is only worth it if you buy the deluxe version(about 18 or 19 bucks). Yeezy!

    PSS whatever
    I think J.Cole is gonna flop for some reason. Unless he can make a good hit song for everyone. A hit that doesnt sound like a sellout, and still appeals to everyone (Kinda like Power – Yeezy). And Cole is my favorite rapper right now, so no hate. I would buy a copy or two to support the dude.

    PSSS
    What ever happened to Game? LLOL!

  67. smokeyou says:

  83. jaymalls says:

    For all u guys saying Bank’s HFM2 is better then Kanye’s MBDTF… u obviously dont know MUSIC (in general). Kanye’s album has way better production, an actual theme… lol! It also has better overall songs that flow into one another well. But hey…. Everybody is entitled 2 their own opinion! So with that said, u G-unit Stans can keep reaching!!!

  84. haters are annoying says:

    LMAOOO @ZOOMZOOM

  85. Black Shady says:

    Congrats to Kanye and Nicki. but hip hop fans just showed they dont care about core hip hop. they want hip pop.

    Banks got the best album out the 3, and sold soooooo much less. Its a shame

  86. Frontrunner says:

    These are the current king and queen of the game. 370, 000 is very impressive in today’s climate for Ms. Minaj. Many on this board predicted a bust for Minaj, while it was obvious to me she was much more than they thought she was. Now the album isn’t a classic, its good. I will lastly say while she did light Kim’s ass up with RR, the album is nowhere near Hardcore, ghostwriter’s for Kim or not.

  87. Vexed and Glorious says:

    target and best buy have kanye’s album listed as 13.99/19.99. fuck u talking bout 4.99? and i really wish onika hadn’t sold so well. looks like those 15 minutes will nvr be up.

  88. jacob says:

    Why banks album getting so much love, that shits already in my recycle bin, weak beats standard lyrics

  89. MIKE MIKE says:

    It is a win, win for LLoyd Banks… Not only did he make a hot album but he is being mentioned on a subject that has nothing to do with him… And to keep it to real with yourself who out of the three rappers put out the best record. Fuck all the G Unit hate Banks album was nothing short of a through back New York smash… The sales says more about the state of Hip Hop then anything else… Unless you go straight pop which Nikki and Yeezys records are you just cant compete… Here is the list of the last few hip hop albums that didnt do what the internet thought they should.. Reakon, Jadakiss, Currensy, LLoyd Banks, Fabo, 50, Ghost Face, insert New York rapper name here. Shit even Rick Ross isnt gold yet and his shit had bangers on it ( Not a Ross Fan so could care less). These New York niggas better start putting it together or they will be left behind big time… If you want to spit cool but make the dumbest hook and bave the best beat or you will lose..

    i told you boy, be careful on which artist you clown…..because your favorite artist might get that FLOP…..not so funny when it happens to your favorite artist.

  94. Gusto says:

    Banks album is dope, sales or no sales. It’s not like he had major label backing. Like I’ve said before, 50’s pockets are MAJOR, but he ain’t a MAJOR record label.

    Hopefully they bring out a couple more vid’s for the album because it definitely deserves more shine than it’s getting. Whole lotta real spittin’ on HFM2 so if you love lyrics COP THAT!

    ya just so focused on the actually sales.. most of yall probably aitn buy a fuckin album.. so whats the point of sales .. what album is more qualified or what is getting played more in your cars or your homes in your speakers.. answer them questions.. that banks lp is disgusting .. he murdered that shit hands down…. that kanye shit is on another level.. gotta respect that.. and that pink bullshit aint gettin no spins.. u out your blood clot mind..

  97. killyou says:

    MBDTF is a fucking banger.

  98. certifiedone says:

    White folks done gave up on Kanye, not JUST cause the Taylor incident, way more shit than that basically just because dudes a fuckin clown, white people know it, and Obama knows wonder how long it’ll take some of you faggot ass niggas to know it.

  99. @Cityliven ?Cosign? Completly right! It kinda like a dying breed or becoming extict. Everybody time runs out now or later. So cherish their music while they are still around and hot just ask nelly! Five years from now their will be the survial of the fittest again! Just a cycle and jay and em made it to the next around considering ther age and years in the game and the ability to keep up with the next generation! Waiting on jay and yeezy joint album 2011 is going to be real hip hop.

  100. i told ya says:

    Em’s album still got fuckin legs too, that shit sold over 40K this week and its been out forever, crazy

  104. mr.zee says:

    @Stu their albums was not 5 just the mps kanye was like 3.99 and hers was 4 .99 and yea its hard to sell albums due to ipod limewire bootlegging etc and FYi nicki has the second highest sales from a solo female artist in 2010 after taylor swift so that was good she almost doubled riri and katy perry who where are huge popstarts with lots of number 1 fact is nobody hardly buys cd anymore and has the second highest number ever from a female rapper after the great lauryn hill

  109. not fucking around says:

    lloyd banks still had the best selling RAP album of the week, cause that other shit soundlike sum black eyed peas kid bop nonsense

  110. R.E.D. says:

    You ain’t hard nigga, you ain’t hot…
    Yayo do ya dance, show homie how to flop lol sorry banks the album was pretty good but you shoulda saved some of them tracks from your mixtapes for ur album nigga
    HFM>HFM2 by far

  111. Ricky Retardo says:

    all this talk about Banks sales kill me! EMI only pressed and shipped (if you can really say that) HFM2. the promo was str8 G-Unit which was heavy in the HIP HOP RAP market. Banks wasn’t on Ellen, Regis and Kelly, or The Today Show… so how you think “Barbie” and “Konway” got those numbers? the market they entered actually buy LPs. still lets not forget the international sales. we all know G-unit is heavy overseas. more love in Nigeria than North Dakota..SMH. HFM2 is still an Ill Album.

  112. R.E.D. says:

    its sad that Nelly sold more then Banks 1st week

  113. @RED^^I guess nelly dont feel so bad now! Champagne and bottle popping starts now?
    Aint been a fan of the unit since buck left the label. A nigga who actually had a flow and shit to rap about.

  114. 4da ppl says:

    IT DONT MATTER WHAT BANKS SOLD..HE PUT OUT A SOLID ALBUM N DATS GUD ENUFF…CHEK OUT DIS DUDE I BEEN HEARIN BOUT…THINK HE GONA B SIGNED TO SHADY

    Nicki sells 371k, she gets hate.
    If Nicki would have flopped she would have gotten hate.
    Congrats to Nicki and Kanye!! Defiantly a step forward for female rap.

  116. Damn Homie says:

    These numbers gonna drop off for Nicki once word of mouth gets around about how wack that shit is.. buzz only gets you the first week.. second week gonna be 100k or less.

    Chalk it up to the fact that ain’t shit really out right now.. and past history for Ye selling… all them songs was old.. musta been some nah internet having muthafuckas… or Ye stans buying 10 copies each. lol

    Be real niggas.. Ye phoned this one in. When other artists shit leaks.. they normally try to go back and at least replace some of the tracks.. he just kept it all in.. “and thats so…. llllllllllllaaaaammmmeeee” Nigga need to fix his leaks and get back to the College Dropout days when he was humble and had his backpack and shit.

    Niggas get tired of hearing about how great you are.. and money.. and shit.. thats always the death of all these niggas..

    First album.. niggas raw.. and hungry.. second album they got they confidence up and they feel like they know what they doing now…. third album is where shit starts falling off..

    a full lion don’t hunt.. simple as that. Nigga done lost what made so many people love him to begin with. Until he get that back.. he gonna continue to lose support.

    Be honest.. if this was his first album… shit wouldn’t done a buck 25.. and nigga would be wandering the subways with Charles Hamilton trying to battle niggas headed to work.

  117. Chance says:

    Kanye sold 500,000 on just the name of Kanye West basically wow…

  118. Umar says:

    Eminem>>> Kanye
    Recovery [741к]>>>MBDTF [518к]
    Relapse [608к]>>>MBDTF [518к]

  119. hater says:

    nicki aint going platinum i;m sure all her 15 yr barbie bought her album 1st week nxtwik shell do 60k then drop to 10k n we forget pink friday……Yeezy is prolly going platinum4th week…..as for lloyd banks let 50 buy some albums like birdman always does to promote weezy fag baby……

  120. raw rap says:

    lmao this shit is hilarious ..banks sold less than eminem this week ..where are the “banks top 5 alive , awww this is real hip hop” dudes!support your favourite artist and stop complaining ! 46k ? damn shame.. fake nicki did very good numbers smh and mr west did half than the country girl

  121. B. Digital says:

    Very good numbers especially when most hip hop artists are selling under 100,000 copies.

  122. GTboy says:

    LLoyd Banks is NY-gutter-black-hoodie-rap… not very popular these days … it’s a shame cause I really like the album.

    ..from Kanye and Nicky I like maybe 1-2 songs each album, but the rest is really Hip-Pop oriented.

    …but whatever it is … Banks concert is a must-go and fortunately he’s nowhere near stopping so expect more hunger 🙂

    ——> when the worldwide tour check comes in , Banks will be like .. sales my ass! ahahahha

  123. R.E.D. says:

    HFM2 was a good album definitely not a classic and I expected more from him…its fuckin hilarious that recovery sold more this week then banks….cudi selling more than triple banks in his 1st week is fuckin embarassing for the unit..maybe banks will change his mind about that g-unit reunion lol…i guarantee Game gonna sell more than 100k when his shit drop easy fuckin haters wanna talk shit bout him gettin pushed back but when u look at the quality of production he will have on his album it doesn’t even compare to banks..DRE.PREMIER.JUST BLAZE.TIMBO.COOLNDRE.SWIZZ and so much more.If u think Dre will let Game flop ur an idiot, it takes time to make a classic album and thats what he will deliver

  124. REAL HIP HOP says:

    I READ THIS BLOG ALMOST EVERYDAY AND PEOPLE ARE NON STOP TALKING SHIT ABOUT “”REAL HIIPHOP” APPARENTLY YOU FUCKS DONT BUY ALBUMS.

  125. bjbsa says:

    @ B.Dot, kanyes stuff isnt really played here in philly. Power was played a little bit during the summer but then it faded away. Monster gets a few spins here and there. But its not like we here kanye all the time. If anything, I here shitty roscoe dash everytime i turn the radio on

  126. powww says:

    Nicki sells 375,000 copies?? wow who eva bought her album is truly retarted

  127. you stay underground you stay broke as fuck says:

    no gold for kanye

  128. Minaj's BF says:

    If Nicki has 1,804,022 and only pushed 375,200, that means only 20% of her followers bought her album. Those niggas should be disappointed with themselves.

  129. So Icy Boi! says:

    @Minaj’s BF twitter followers dnt mean shit Soulja Boy got almost 3 mil and he aint gonna do over 50k just because people follow u dnt mean nothin some aint fans and dnt forget everything is free on the internet

  130. powww says:

    @michael….allow me to correct ur shit

    Nicki sells 371k, she gets hate. <–Not really, cuz she is shit. We(whom ur delluded enough to consider as haters) are just stating our honest opinions.

    If Nicki would have flopped she would have gotten hate. <—Not really we would have celebrated for hip hop's sake!

    Congrats to Nicki and Kanye!! Defiantly a step forward for female rap.<–Kanye did his thang, but Nicki still remains shit

  131. nickh says:

    Ricky Retardo, Lloyd Banks was on the Chelsea Lately show and the Mo’Nique Show.. Kanye was only on Ellen.

  132. Feenixa says:

    not really surprised, Ye’s album is dope & something new for hip hip
    Nicki has lots of fans & since her album was a kind of hip hop/pop hybrid, I can see how she sold that many albums.
    what happen with LB? I didn’t think he’d beat Ye or Nicki but I didn’t think he’d sell so much less either. He was releasing all the songs for his blue fridays though, so maybe people didn’t feel like buying the album? someone said ne-yo beat him? i’m surprised by that

    oh well props to ye & nicki…big sales

    & ya Power and Runaway were on the radio, so was Monster, but overall, Kanye’s album wasn’t the typical radio play album so I see where some of you are coming from. that’s so sick that he still sold that many…maybe people are starting to appreciate GOOD music instead of most of the crap they play on the radio

  133. haters are annoying says:

    only 495, drake sold 460 damn thats not that good actually for kanye

  134. killyou says:

    HFM2 shoulda did more

  135. MATIC says:

    You know Taylor is just doing her best in this systematically designed oppression that she is facing.

    Still Taylor gives you innovative pop music in it’s highest form.

    The masses still anticipate her albums.

    She spoke truth during Hurricane Katrina.

    Taylor has created the soundtrack for our lives.

    And she’s stunting in the flyest European fashion everyday! And that’s tough to do and still get respect as a white woman.

  136. fuck u says:

    Recovery sales N week>…..

  137. Timothy Adems says:

    I don’t think people really understand how bonkers Ye’s numbers are. His WHOLE ALBUM LEAKED. We heard everything off that joint. Then he had NOT ONE top ten hit. Then he had mediocre hype and press for the album (other than what, some beef with Bush?). Dude deserves a “Pimped the market” award.

  138. […] Kanye West & Nicki Minaj Top Billboard According to Hits Daily Double, Kanye West and Nicki Minaj will take the number one and two spots respectively […] […]

  139. @NOVA U DONT FAIL BRUH,….MUTHAFUCKAZ JUST SLEEP ON U UNTIL U GET THE ATTENTION U NEED…..KEEP PUSHIN THAT SHIT BRUH.

  140. queen b says:

    Kanye should have outsold Wayne’s Carter III.. but white people still hate on him

  141. queen b says:

    Weezy had 1milli first wk.. how does Kanye do less than half of that.. I didn’t even buy Wayne’s joint.

  142. ryan says:

    Wow! these numbers are lame and to think you put out a classic album and only sell 45 when some over hyped diff hair color wearing girl sells more than 6 times as many albums Hip hop is dead but Pop Hop is in full affect i guess i better start liking southren themed dance songs and auto tune… haha lmao

  143. Bangers N Mash says:

    Both albums suck shit.
