Outkast, Biggie, and tupac all benefit from having double albums. You can cut those in half. It was written sold 2.6 in America, it sold 4.1 total worldwide.
-
Crazy how a lot of the artists on the list won't even go gold now

Just goes to show Jay ain't a true heavyweight icon. He can have all the #1 albums he wants but until he gets bold enough to drop on the same day as Eminem or Wayne, let alone artists like Adele, Taylor Swift, and Lady Gaga I will always consider the stats he lists as lacking context.
-
Vanilla Ice has two albums in the top 15...
-
Recovery did 4.3 mill in the 2010's b. Is BP3 even at 2 mill yet????
-
Actually it's just 1 ...thank ? !
-
Phlegminhim owns you ?
-
i aint kno speakerboxx/love below sold like that
no wonder 3 racks takin so long to put out a solo album and only doesguest verses here and there
wtf does he got to prove, he rich -
Recovery did 4.3 mill in the 2010's b. Is BP3 even at 2 mill yet????
Yea, Jay has never did numbers like that. I give him props tho, for faking it till he made it, in the sense of making the general audience believe that he was bigger than what he actually was...his made a career of that. Even managed to convince most that RD was a classic, and of the same stature and impact to the game as was illmatic.
A hustler he is, and he's never denied it.

AEOM gotta be more than 9mill by now they haven't counted the sales since 98. I seen somewhere it said 14mill.
Not shocked EMs whole discography is on this list expect his debut ? went double wood -

So we gonna act like we don't see Vol 2 sittin on that list with over 5mil+ sold?
Oh...ok
-
Speakerboxx/love below actually sold half that.
Its a double cd, so 1 purchase counts as two albums.

either way nas lost
