Why do you think radioactive sold so poorly?

Postby xnoxiousx » May 2nd, '12, 00:18

Compared to what i expected the album sounds like it should sell very well and has lots songs that could been on radio and big hits... why the sales low.. i was hoping yela would do as well as 50 and obie did they did on shady.

The promotion kinda sucked, and I think Yela appeals to a smaller audience than someone like 50 Cent does.

There just wasnt enough promotion, I am actually one of the few that liked the Em Feature, He just needs to do some more things with Em to get him some advertisement out there and his next album should sell !

Promotion sucked and they waited far too long to release Let's Roll and Throw It Up as promotion.

agree, with the exception of ugly guy.... if you can market lil b and all those bums then you can easily market yelawolf... it was just yela's & shady records publishing team who did awful... plus the album was almost completed by the time he signed so yeah..... fuck shady records, hopefully they make a good job with slaughterhouse

It's currently sold 129,713 and Yela's popularity has risen a lot since that. That's not too shabby actually. To compare Snoop Dogg's album (Doggumentary) that released last March has sold 118,884.

Barely any promotion, and the album wasn't that great.

That really doesn't matter though. Snoop Dogg is a well established artist that has been part of some legendary things. He also still remains to top the charts with collabs with Katy Perry and others. While I could care less about those songs and am not a Snoop Dogg fan myself, that's still not too shabby for Yela to outsell that.

Snoop Dogg one of the worst artists in the game? He's been making classics with Dre ever since Doggystyle.
