Tha CarterIV Vs. Recovery Sales (Prediction)

Re: Tha CarterIV Vs. Recovery Sales (Prediction)

True but what's the point? Wayne fans love their "first week sales" but as Mack Maine said if you sell big first week it usually means that's it you're going to sell fuck all after that or at least the next week your sales will drop 70% and carry on dropping (exception for king mathers)


And when you look at how bad Young Money are with dates, push backs, videos etc It's not going to happen. Look at Recovery? Love The Way You Lie and Not Afraid both had amazing videos and they didn't feel cheap they both were massive hits both lyrically and commercially hitting over 450M+ on youtube views, breaking so many records. I think Wayne has no chance in my view, never will..

this

ive always said wayne will be alright in the first week but outsell em? id feel more comfortable betting that 2012 is going to happen lol

and some people are saying sales dont matter but if wayne does 13k in the first week like soulja boy it's fukkin over for wayne lol so yes sales do matter

Alot of people said C3 won't sell shit and it shitted on every rap album in the last few years.

Some people really don't know the power Wayne possess on this generation (not just rap) music listeners.

America is the dominating music source in the music industry. On average 70% of American musicians sales are from america, i'm not talking about worldwide. Wayne is more popular then Eminem in the states, just check the site that gets over 1 billion views a day and see's who is searched more Google Trends: lil wayne, eminem (since you want to bring internet numbers into the thread, youtube) I laugh out loud when people put eminem on so high of a pedestal that it seems no person alive (rap wise) can compare to his sales. He is not a god, he is a musician. If anyone has a chance of outselling the G.O.A.T commonly known to alot of stans lol, it's wayne.

Your best arguement agaisn't what I said (and by the way I said it in a general way I didn't mean it as a dig at what you said so I don't know why you've got so mad) is by coming up that Lil Wayne is googled more than Eminem? Really?

The sales speak for themselves. Wayne is not "more popular in the US than Eminem" where did you get that from?

Recovery has out sold C3 in the U.S. in just 38 weeks. I love Waynes music as much as the next fan but damn.

Are you serious? And your best auregment is that Wayne can't touch Eminem because Love The Way You Lie and Not Afraid combine has 450M youtube views? lol talk about hypocritical. It's a fact if your searched and talked about more on Google in a specific place then your more popular. Google is the #1 visited website on the internet, it gets over 1 billion views a day, People search wayne more on google in America more specificity English people. You don't live in th U.S so i wouldn't understand you to fully know. lol @ "just 38 weeks" you talk about it like it's no time, Album sales usually decrease 4 and 5 digit sales in the mid to late teen weeks. It took Eminem over 8 months to catch up to Wayne C3 sales and hes suppose to be the album sales KING??? i'm done.

dude em has sold over 80 mill worldwide thats not a battle u wanna pick with em fans lol you would have to refer to jay-z if you wanna find an artist that can compete constantly sales wise

and plus wayne was more so underground until the C3 era yea he had platinum albums before but his popularity didnt skyrocket until C3

now lyrically...... well lets save that thread argument for another day

You said it yourself, Wayne wasn't as popular until C3. Eminem sold 80 M we all know that, so why would you compare the two artists overall when you just said wayne was more underground until C2, C3? i'm speaking about the present & Wayne can easily outsell Recovery if everything is lined up just right (right amount of promotion, buzz, commercial single)

Ignorant. How is that hyprocritical? Those views portray the extent to what and how many people have viewed the singles online showing that the videos had a huge impact on his record sales. Googling someones name does not show popularity it can do yes but it's NOT a fact that's just displaying your ignorance. I'm sure back in 2003/4 Osama Bin Laden was Googled a fuck load but that didn't make him popular did it? No.
These Google trends you love to talk about can be mostly negative searches aswell. Weezy was in Jail does that no make you think that that's caused a lot of bloggings and news reports on him online?

And saying "Lol @ 38 weeks" is just displaying your stupidity even further C3 came out years ago and it only took 8 months for Recovery to surpass it's sales so please stop bullshitting and kidding yourself. Just for once stop dick riding so hard and have a open mind and accept it.

Stupidity and ignorance? that seems to be your main comeback whenever someone talks about your beloved eminem. For the record idk how the UK feels what's "popular" but ask anyone in the states who's Bin Laden and i'm sure there tell you detail for detail who he is so i'm pretty sure you can put him the popular category as you say for negitive or for positive. Googling someone name DOES show there popularity wtf are you on, if your irrelevant people wouldn't be googling you. Wayne is more popular then Eminem in the states, just look at the top MTV artists, go on any main Hip Hop site Wayne is the topic of conversation everywhere you go (again he may not be as popular in the UK) but you gotta look outside the horizon.

I'm displaying my ignorance by laughing at how you make 38 weeks seems like it's nothing when you say Eminem outsold Wayne in only 38 weeks? you do know After the 20th week album sales are decrease only to thousands sold each week so saying C3 came out ages ago your mamking it seem like it's still selling like hot cakes when Recovery outsold it. Eminem suppose to be the King of album sells right? Why did it take him so long to outsell someone who only sold like 18 M records and their lifetime? Your statements is basically saying no one can fuck with Eminem when in reality it's blatantly obvious Wayne can right now.
