I can't believe the Young Money album is doing this badly...I'm sure I can drop an album and sell this much. lol! Just kidding, but those numbers are quite low. The album would probably max out at 80k sold, total. And about the new album? I think they didn't promote the album well. They promoted it like a re-release of an old album. If they had promoted it like a fresh album, they would have at least sold about 20k first week. And looking at the chart overall, I don't think any other rapper would be going double platinum in the near feature, asides Eminem. Lil Wayne made it to double plat with the last two Carter albums (Carter 4 almost didn't make it to the two million mark in sales), but I doubt he would make it there with Carter 5. He might make it to like 1.7 mill...like how most Drake albums do.
Looking at the chart. I think Gold is the new Platinum. There are only about 7 rappers that can make it to Plat now...Kanye West, Eminem, Lil Wayne, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Jay Z, and Macklemore...That's it. No one else is seeing Platinum these days. Most rappers would be lucky to even attain Gold status. Rick Ross is no stranger to getting Gold plaques, but even he would be lucky to go Gold this time around. His sales are decreasing every week, and he ain't no where near Gold yet. He might stop selling around 350,000 copies...or, if he is lucky, 400k. Let's see what happens in the next couple of weeks.
