A Look At The Sales Of Recent Albums
Rap:
Nas’ Untitled has cracked 300k
Lil Wayne – Tha Carter 3 2.1 million
G-Unit – T.O.S. 193k
Kanye West – Graduation 2.1 million
50 Cent – Curtis wasn’t n the top 200 so I don’t know the exact number, under 2 milli though
Rick Ross – Trilla Over 650k
N.E.R.D. – Seeing Sounds over 150k
Plies – Definition Of Real 54k short of gold
David Banner – 100k
Three 6 Mafia – 200k
The Clipse Present The Re Up Gang – 10k
R&B:
Rihanna – Good Girl Gone Bad – 1.5 million
Keyshia Cole – Just Like You – 1.5 million
Ashanti – Declaration Over 200k
Alicia Keys – As I Am 3.5 million
Usher – Here I Stand – Shy of a milli
The Dream – Love Hate is almost gold
Lloyd – Lessons In Love 51k
Good to see The Dream will be going gold, the album was fire. Lloyd had a weak opening but can make it up if he got some good singles, having Lil Wayne didn’t get the same buzz this time around. Nas’ Untitled needs another single ASAP, while T.O.S. doesn’t look like it will make it to gold.

Hey RealTalk don’t mean to be all in your business, but since I’m a big The-Dream fan, I think his album went Gold. According to Def Jam’s site he’s been Gold for some time now. Look here:

How come you listed Kanye west -Graduation but not 50 cent-Curtis they was out the same day why you leave out 50 cent?
August 15th, 2008 at 2:05 am

August 15th, 2008 at 4:33 am
^^^^Can u READ? “Nas’ Untitled has cracked 300k-”.
Thats what he did. 316 is a crack, it aint 350. It aint 3 n a quarter, so its useless to mention. Its a crak. Like the shit u sniff. ….Hows that 4 backlash.
August 15th, 2008 at 6:30 am
u can add 50 cent’s Curtis with 1.4 million copies sold in the US, also Jay-Z’s American Gangster with 1.1 million copies sold, they came out around the same time as KanYe & and way after Rihanna (since they on the list too)
August 15th, 2008 at 6:43 am
i heard kanye was at or close to triple platinum…
August 15th, 2008 at 7:14 am
You Puttin’ GRADUATION up there, but not CURTIS….while you taking shots at G-Unit…
REALTALKNY is a hater…..
Hi Hater!
August 15th, 2008 at 8:08 am
Nas should drop that song (I think its called) America asap. I see a hot video for that song. If he do that I think he can go gold. Damn that is sad that a rapper like nas mite not go gold! All you dudes that used to argue that nas was better than Jay were you at. Support ya dude… His album is good. Its not a classic like some people say but it is what is needed in todays hip hop field. If you dont support it we may not get a album that dont talk about drugs, hoes, money, cars ,guns, or some made up dance for another generation on a major label! Pick up that cube too!

Nas said this in Testify…
Don’t buy my songs, ya’ll don’t roll with it
Come into concerts, singing hoe and shit
F**k ya’ll little little hoe bitches,
I don’t need ya’ll, I’ll go gold with it
Nas will go gold especially with another single. He should drop that Fried Chicken Joint with Busta rhymes. That would be a good look for New York. Its radio friendly too.
August 15th, 2008 at 10:34 am

yo RTNY, you should post this tuff more often
altough, im not influenced (like at allllll), i still find these stats interesting….
oh and #3 ….the reason is because the dudes over at RTNY have some taste and seeing as 50 is ggggggggggggaaaaaaaaarbage and nobody gives a fuck abouth him or his music, they decided to leave him out…
August 15th, 2008 at 10:38 am

I’m going to boycott this website. Realtalk is a hater on G-unit. Notice***(G-Unit – T.O.S. 193k) G-Unit sold way more albums than that. get ur number correct Hater.(50 Cent – Curtis wasn’t n the top 200). 50 was in the top 200, Hatin again. (T.O.S. doesn’t look like it will make it to gold).
Dawg please stop hatin on G-Unit. You hatin that they makin all this money & u broke. Realtalk is a HATER! Go to a real website ya’ll (allhiphop.com)
August 15th, 2008 at 10:57 am
goog lookin out realtalk
4 the xtra commentry on 50 and Gunit sales
August 15th, 2008 at 10:58 am
“good”
August 15th, 2008 at 11:13 am
Yeah, Nas need to drop another single, but not to much of it is radio friendly, or club friendly. He gotta just drop an album off the strength of love or his message. The N word buzz died down a little bit. America would be hot, i heard it on V103 Atlanta radio a few weeks ago and i was blown. Fried Chicken would be ill as long as people see the humor, cleverness and satire behind it and they dont look at it as two black artist rapping about chicken. I loved the album as whole and bought 3 copies.
All the other artists, i’m not too worried about cause they didnt create a complete concept album as Nas did. It was so much a concept album, but a social issue album. He’s the hiphop John Lennon
August 15th, 2008 at 11:31 am
yall niggas hatin on wayne wayne n kanye r the only niggas n hiphop that will sell records a mill n a week whose gonna do those numbers n the future ??????????? YOUNG MONEY !!!!!!!!!
August 15th, 2008 at 11:44 am
This is your moment and every single minute you spend trying to hold onto it
cause you may never get it again.
So while you’re in it try to get as much shit as you can
and when your run is over just admit when its at its end.
til i collapse^^-eminem
just give it up curtis and gunit…niggas are gonna be doing shows out in las vegas with toni braxton in a minute lmao

August 15th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
Slick1?. We need to boycott your ass. Don’t get mad at this site for stating the facts. If G Unit ain’t sellin’, then they just ain’t sellin’. Buy their album and stop whining.
