Game The R.E.D. Album Hits Number One
Wednesday, August 31 2011 8:17 AM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, True StoryJay-Z and Kanye West have been dethroned. After seven days, Game’s fourth LP, The R.E.D. Album has moved 97,879 copies, giving him his fourth straight number one album. The project ousted Watch The Throne by just 3,301 units. Congrats, Chuck. Here’s what he said via a statement:
“It feels amazing to be back on top,” exclaims Game. “My fans are incredibly loyal. I was able to step away from music for some much needed personal time with my family. And now that I’ve returned with a new album, they’ve come out strong to support me. I wouldn’t be where I am today without my fans. Period.”

Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! ⎯B.Dot
He deserves to be #1!
I thought it was four #1 albums.. *shrugs*
97k? C’mon, that’s horrible!

97k is awesome considering. No one really buys albums anymore. They steel em. Congrats Game. You got my money.
Congrats.qualitywise it’s one of my favorite this year.
I remember his new years resolution of 2010 was to sell more than 50′s BISD. Sorry Jayceon.
the album is cold…so he deserves it…well put together..

fuck jay & ye…. finally a real nigga on top
oh & yea this is album of the year so far… until COLE WORLD DROP gheeaa
dope shit #1
300k worldwide
Interesting. Funny though, the Throne did almost his 1st week numbers in its 3rd week. I haven’t listened to it, so I don’t have an opinion of Game’s joint. It shall remain that way, too.
i think he deserved more .. but people nowdays likes retards with zebra pants smh
IN THE WORDS OF 50 CENT A NUMBER ONE ALBUM IS A NUMBER ONE ALBUM CANT HATE ON THAT
aye this is a really dope album yo
cartr 4 is the worst album of all time & its gona do 750k first week
rest in peace hip hop -_-
Have to admit, its much better than Carter IV and Watch the Throne
@Hypnotics x2, after all the delays, RED delivered.
this did dope numbers worldwide just over 300k so Game is actually winnin…. america gona kop a a million Carter4s LMFAO thats pathetic
@Capeman co sign…. this is album of the year so far haters cant even front doe
97 k is horrible. ya no one buys albums anymore but cmon thats straight trash for #s. game fell of a while ago and whats sad is he’s done it all to himself. Its a shame..really is. He used to b one of my top but lets be real. Not much anticipation for this album. And how many times was it pushed back?? DONT FOOL YOURSELVES… yes its harder to sell albums now days but any top artist should be able to pulll at least 150 to 200k without much effort. This makes it official in my book -GAMEOVER!!
WOOOP #1 ^_^
THAT’S AMAZIN’ FOR A NIGGA WIT NO BUZZ, NO HOT SINGLE, AND NO HEAVY PROMO TO MOVE 10,000 UNITS!!!!
….C’MON, YA’LL KNOW INTERSCOPE/AFTERMATH COPPED THE REST!!!! HA!!!! CONGRATS BIPOLAR BOY!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
coo shit… v dope album
Watch the Throne sold 94,578 its 3rd week…thats wassup, Game is actually lucky cuz he only beat Jay and Ye by 3,301 copies. Keep in mind, 3rd week and they almost platnum…Game is good, but not great, just good. He shouldve been bigger by now but he’s not. Maybe he need to diss Jayz more for more attention…………….Steems
@mac DIESEL are u on crack or sumn or u got add or sumn? lmao u always capslockin & shoutin calm down child lol
dope album
Did you guys really like this album? I wasn’t really feeling WTT till I went back and listened to it after the Carter 4 disaster, and honestly (with the benefit of comparison), it sounds a lot better now. But I thought RED was garbage the first time I listened to it, and I still thought it was garbage on it’s second try.
thats ain’t that bad . i thought he will do around 50 or 60 .
@KYOD if u took the track with wale off… & the track speakers on blast…. id prolyy give RED 5 mics realtalk…. & ima Ye fan im from chi & i agreed with the 4 mics WTT got….
RED is perfectly sequenced & some of them tracks are like really some goat songs man Ricky & the intro man holy fuck i aint a game fan but when i heard them tracks i was like oh my fuckin god
RED = 4.5 mics
WTT = 4
C4 = lowest rating whatever that is…. half a mic or whatever
Numbers are a bit lower than I expected… But congrats on the spot! This makes another one I had to cop right at 12am when it released on iTunes! Proud to be a part of his success!
R.E.D is a very dopest hip hop album of the month, WTT is also very good. C4 is the worst hip hop album of the month IMO

WTF !!! Lil gay Carter worst rapper and album of all time project 800K
RIP Music
Can you say Flop?
Cant really comment on RED. Havent heard it yer but congrats to dude…he still doin his thing. Dude talk a lot shit but he backin it up
Haters keep saying Jay and Ye not real game is…. What you stupid because he still in the Hood broke and a hater that still rips being a blood in 2011. Y’all need to step ur game up. WATCH THE THRONE BABY. BLACK EXCELLENCE
good for him but i still say its his worst album
Red Album is waaaay too long. You people saying it’s the album of the year, do ya’ll listen to these tracks
“Hello” (featuring Lloyd)
“All the Way Gone” (featuring Mario & Wale)
“Speakers on Blast” (featuring Big Boi & E-40)
and all of the freaking skits
It wasn’t even the best WEST Coast album of the summer….
Section 80 all day.
cmon r.e.d is a good album but sells r waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down..
I know peoplr don’t like game’s bipolar character but when it comes to making albums he is one of d most consistent rappers. Can’t get enough of RED and I love WTT too, with C4 I love some songs nt d whole album.
Damn, only 97k…How the fuck is C4 projected to sell 850k+ when R.E.D. completely murked it…Fucked up.
dont get it twisted that 97,000 is only US numbers. He did about 300,000 worldwide.
which was an argument I made about WTT, it did under 500,000 in the U.S alone.
world wide?? It did way more.
Congrats to Game.
and I hope C4 does reasonably too, despite my not liking it.
I was impressed with The City and Ricky. Especially the live instrumentation on Ricky.
Congrats to The Game.
