Outkast, Biggie, and tupac all benefit from having double albums. You can cut those in half. It was written sold 2.6 in America, it sold 4.1 total worldwide.
-
Crazy how a lot of the artists on the list won't even go gold now

Wu tang also had double albums, many other artists had double albums, but they ain't get the same results as PAC...

i dont think having a double album helped or hurt any artist if i remember right those double albums back in the day cost more then single albumssaracenwire wrote: »Outkast, Biggie, and tupac all benefit from having double albums.

Just goes to show Jay ain't a true heavyweight icon. He can have all the #1 albums he wants but until he gets bold enough to drop on the same day as Eminem or Wayne, let alone artists like Adele, Taylor Swift, and Lady Gaga I will always consider the stats he lists as lacking context.
-
Vanilla Ice has two albums in the top 15...
-
Recovery did 4.3 mill in the 2010's b. Is BP3 even at 2 mill yet????
-
Actually it's just 1 ...thank ? !
-
Phlegminhim owns you ?
-
i aint kno speakerboxx/love below sold like that
no wonder 3 racks takin so long to put out a solo album and only doesguest verses here and there
wtf does he got to prove, he rich -
Recovery did 4.3 mill in the 2010's b. Is BP3 even at 2 mill yet????
Yea, Jay has never did numbers like that. I give him props tho, for faking it till he made it, in the sense of making the general audience believe that he was bigger than what he actually was...his made a career of that. Even managed to convince most that RD was a classic, and of the same stature and impact to the game as was illmatic.
A hustler he is, and he's never denied it.
-
AEOM gotta be more than 9mill by now they haven't counted the sales since 98. I seen somewhere it said 14mill.
Not shocked EMs whole discography is on this list expect his debut ? went double wood -

So we gonna act like we don't see Vol 2 sittin on that list with over 5mil+ sold?
Oh...ok
-
Speakerboxx/love below actually sold half that.
Its a double cd, so 1 purchase counts as two albums.
-
either way nas lost
