Re: WTF???

awwww shit someone mad?

I would say that is a close to accurate statement.

I don't think so. Wisheezy was nice enough to track the worldwide sales for Tha Carter IV located here. Here is what the data looks like for the first 10 weeks:

Week # -- Sales Outside U.S.
1 -- 64,000
2 -- 37,000
3 -- 25,183
4 -- 13,502
5 -- 12,473
6 -- 10,597
7 -- 6,800
8 -- 6,101
9 -- 4,533
10 -- 4,496

That is 184,685 copies sold outside of the United States in the first 10 weeks. You are telling that that in the last 13 weeks Tha Carter IV has sold 1,315,315 copies outside of the United States. I think that is impossible.

I'm not going to argue w/ your opinion, but it's pretty much a fact that it's not impossible. By the way, you made an in that paragraph, just saying.

you can't fuckin just buy this plaque, it's something that's awarded to you.

So YMCMB is just making up their sales now?


move on with your life......

it can honestly happen

Adele's "21" saw its biggest sales week yet in 52 weeks on the U.S. chart, selling 730,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan.

edit: nvm, my bad kaden, it took me a second to realize what you said, i read it differently
but that quote above still applies for people who don't think Wayne can't sell records months into C4 being released

Re: WTF???

As a consumer, grammies shouldn't mean shit to you except if your artist of choice wins it. If they don't it changes nothing in your like or dislike of them.

In other words, why do you care?

It isn't just awarded to you.

Birdman had someone made it. Remember the time Mel Smith was going to get Aza a platinum plaque? Clearly ItzAza was awarded that plaque. God damn you people are fucking retarded.

The sales would have needed to go up 100,483.681231% to sell 1.5 million copies outside the United States.

First off, his album hasn't gone triple platinum. It has gone double platinum in the United States and it has not gone much further than that worldwide. I don't know why people are saying that Tha Carter IV went triple platinum and has sold 3.5 million copies worldwide. That is false. Whoever said that - probably Birdman - is lying. The album sold 64,000 copies outside of the United States in the first week . If you were to plot the sales outside of the United States starting with week one it would be an exponential function, meaning that the sales decreased dramatically in the first couple of weeks and then sloped off. By my estimates, the function of sales outside the United States would look something along the lines of f(x) = 9.015(0.9996)^(x) where x represents the week.

That means it is mathematically impossible for the album to have sold that many copies. It is also illogical. You people are all retards if you believe it sold that much. Danny, remove that blog post please.


It is also important to note that the artist that sells the most is not necessarily the best artist out. In my opinion, Tha Carter IV is Wayne's third best album and it was the second best album nominated for Best Rap Album of the Year at the Grammys. The album that won deserved to win.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!

+100000 for Kaden,
