Janet's album is at a steady pace right now though, it's still hanging around in the top 50, that's not bad since emptv blackballed her, I think she might go platinum with steady sales like this, it's only dropping small percentages every week unlike albums that drop 70% every week, Beanie Sigel's album is only a mixtape though, that's great sales for a mixtape, mixtapes don't usually sell anything, and Ice Cube's doing pretty damn good for himself by releasing the album himself instead of having major labels pimp him, he's a fortunate one since most artists can't afford to do that, the funny thing is that Flava Flav's reality show had the highest ratings ever for reality show and he only sells 2,000 copies while Brooke Hogan sells 45,000

in a week, add game to #1

[Turntable]

Janet need's more Singles. It's as easy as that. Beanie Sigel sold damn much for Mixtape,lol wow. I'm wondering how Fat Joe's Album is gonna debut.

[mfuqua23]

Is it just me or are people not buying albums like they used to? Maybe it's because the music was better back then, even though it'd do the same numbers. Perhaps something is up with our economy. I know I'm not helping it. I'm on the broke line. Record companies have to feel bad right now. What are you gonna do guys???

I think it's a combination of things. Certainly the internet has hurt record sales but it really has to do with the industry not promoting good music. You can go to Wal-Mart and get albums for a good price so I don't think it's the economy. It's really about the music and the music just isn't good right now. For the most part... it stinks.

[Turntable]

That's a foolisg theory, caus like you see some of the best Albums are selling way less than some bad ones.

Make it two weeks, his album drops next week and the results come in a week later, Fat Joe drops the same day too, I'm gonna try to get 'em both together for a sale, Fat Joe's releasing the album himself like Ice Cube did recently, now I don't know if Game'll be #1, it depends if there's any big name pop or country acts dropping, it's not guaranteed that a rap album comes in at #1 anymore, as long as it's better than his last album that's all I care about, quality don't sell either, hype does, they play Timberlake on emptv and radio all day that's why he's selling so well

Because they are promoted better. Don't worry, soon even promotion and payola won't be enough to save them. :switch:

yep :1-say-yes: , but the bad thing is that there will be new ones and kinda everything will be back to the same s*** but anyway i hope it will change ... someday :)

that my chemical romance album drives me crazy, a girl I hang out with a lot always plays that damn CD on the computer and I end up listening to it.
