Whats good sales for albums now a days?

[xnoxiousx]

Radioactive only did 130,000 in US as of april 2012
Success Is Certain sld 743,500 copies in the US as of march 2012

IDK but is around 150,000 good considering yela is on shady i think royce's smaller label does more to promote people.

Success Is Certain has sold 743,500 copies??? Surely that can't be true....

You're telling me that an album that has sold 16k first week and 4k 2nd week has now sold 743k?

haha.

Not even sure HTS sold that much.

[xnoxiousx]

There's no way Success Is Certain sold that much.

Why that? LOL actually i got it from wiki not sure how reliable it is.

Looking past the obviously wrong Success is Certain numbers...
Radioactive sales are bad. Not horrible, but bad. I can almost guarantee that if Yela put out the exact same album but was signed to Cash Money it would have sold double that at least.
To address the question, it all depends on who you are. Nicki did over 300,000 first week with her last album which is really good, but if Eminem did those numbers with his next album it would be looked at as horrible.

I see what you mean i dont think yela's sales were bad... Honestly i think they expect that.

Im still wondering how much new SH album will do and will it top yela's album it seems to be getting alot more promotion.

Because he sold 16k on his first week, there's just no way that would happen. It definitely didn't sell more than BME, it's definitely not gold lol.

Success Is Certain has sold over 43,000 copies.

Success Is Certain has sold over 43,000 copies.

That's more like it.

If Em does 750k+ in first week and 3million+ overall with his next album, it will be considered as a hit imo.

Slaughterhouse should atleast do 75k in their first week to treat it as a hit imo(It has 4 rappers who are more popular than Yelawolf in the underground).

Mac Miller sold 150k first week and it wwas considered unbelievably great.
