Jay Sean - Neon (Album Discussion Thread)

[razza]

this album was pretty dope for a pop/rnb commercial tape, still though the Mistress was fire, them beat boxing skits and joints were cray he shuda done abit more of that to add some urban dirt to this. still though its not selling too bad for a alum which has had ZERO promotion or public support from Cash Money or Republic. birdman hasnt even tweeted directly about this one time, nor has any of his features. Cold World

I'm not sure how many people would actually appreciate the beat boxing and skits, I think it's just distracting more than anything.

Cash Money hasn't really been promoting any of their recent releases, u know how much Rich Gang sold? U need a hype guy like Rick Ross or DJ Khaled to tweet like 20 times a day when an album release date approaches and drop the name and date of the album at every interview and every possibility

Anyways, my favourites from the album are Mars, Deep End, Worth It All, Passenger Side and the Busta Rhymes joint Break of Dawn. The Ace Hood joint not bad as well.

I'm predicting 10K first week. Sales have lost a lot of momentum already though. He should get Top 20.

true sales from any cash money artist other then Nicki and Drake and terrible, too many people illegally downloading, jays eating though. from his kamouflager entertainment which sold out a worldwide tour of his latest signing in like 30mins talking arenas here, his property management company in England, his share in Orange music factory who is making quite a few beats for artist, writing platinum #1 songs for oversees acts like justice crew, chino y nacho, if i was him i would just buy 20 grands worth form all the shops and just give them out as promo. he could easly get q top 5 by doing this.

As expected this is not even in the billboard 200.

4k my prediction

Shit, that's bad. How do u know it's not in the Billboard 200 tho? The full chart hasn't been published yet.

He done a few days in iTunes Top 40 and was in the Top 100 for the rest of the week, so unless Cash Money under distributed physical copies of Neon I would have thought he'd get Top 200 on Billboard.

Still this is a joke...nearly 6mil fans on facebook, 1.5mil on Twitter and he only sells that much
His fans are fukn cheap.

Plus he had the second highest previous album sales of all artists releasing this week:



His previous album 'All or Nothing' sold 225,000 in the US alone.

How's he done worldwide tho? He was tweeting about #1 in UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi), and #1 in India pop charts?

[lionz23]

where can we see the official worldwide sale numbers, lol his american/brit fans are cheap too many illegal downloads, there was no HYPE on this, no tour, droped mars way too late should have been on radio and iTunes way before the release date like the blurred lines single, should have had a few more high profile collabs in there aswell. the album wasnt bad but he simply has ZERO heat, shuda grabbed ppl like katy perry, pink, jessie j, ellie goulding for a quick crappy radio fire single, if i was him i would have brought a few thousand copies still, not like he aint got the money. i read he sold 7k on the kanyewest fan site forum. i woulda thought he would still make the billboard 200 though. oh well he has to make a comeback through singles now.

This album actually dropped?

Was it at least good? Lol, shit is a complete flop.

Haha yeah, July 30. I was expecting them to say push back even a day before release but it actually dropped lol

It was good, not GOAT from him, but there were some dope tracks on there. He held back on the features tho, only got Rick Ross, Busta, and Ace Hood on the album. Apparently in a recent interview he said he still got a Wayne track that he'll release in the future. The album is def top 10 material, but his team blew any chance he had with so many mediocore album and buzz singles.

Now he should just take a lil break and come back with a Wayne single or Drake that sounds really different but is catchy. That's the only way.

I think he's still useful to YMCMB, he is popular in the middle east and India, and to some extent in Australia and New Zealand. Next year he might do a bhangra-type song with some old collaborators which would def do well in the UK. The only artists who sell on YMCMB are Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Drake, and Tyga. I'm sure Birdman wants more than that to get his Billions

DJ Khaled, Ace Hood, and Busta Rhymes can sell a bit too but they've got their own imprints (WTB and The Conglomerate) so there is less money there.

bro Wayne has 47 mil Facebook likes and sold 200k first week & the Facebook status updates only get 100k likes max wtf there's 47 mil people

[mulkman]

Agreed.

Its mostly always about having buzz, after a successful lead single.

You need to go beyond your fanbase.

People get him confused with Jason Derulo and Big Sean, which is one of his major problem.

I can't lie I do enjoy the Mars track a lot

Jay Sean needs to make a hook or two on a track to at least get his name out again, kinda too late I think.

I was surprised people like him and Chris Richardson were not on the Rich Gang album
