Nas debuts at #1, pushes 149K (LiG could be # 1 in it's second week)

[AsAboveSoBelow]

I expected good numbers and my expectations were met.

Congrats to Nas for a dope album and continuing to provide for the hip-hop community.

Real nikka shyt.

 

[Tim Lord]

Good numbers for nas

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

And Kanye.



Not only did Nas outsell Miller, but Miller only released when his preorders got to 150. It took about 2 months for that to happen.

he only sold 25k preorders ..dont make up stories...and those albums SOLD regardless...random people just aint preordering albums unless theyre fans, they wouldve bought it anyway

its ok breh...nas has the same fanbase numbers-wise as mac miller in 2k12

I'm glad nikkas brought up the Jay shyt...

He's hiding behind other artists on his singles. If he would drop a DOA, Jockin Jay-z, History, and let it ride he do 150k his first week

So you're saying if he solo songs like Nas, he'd do the same amt?

 

[MMM]

they under shipped apparently too so 2nd week might not be a normal drop off

 

[bigesco]

Nas sucks now

Yup

 

[Real]

Yup

His lead single from Kingdom Come was "show me what you got"

Lead single from American Gangster was "Roc Boys"

Lead single from Blueprint 3 was "D.O.A"

 

[Piff Perkins]

Good look. And I bet some grammy noms will revive the album in a few months

that nikka spent millions on promotion for Kingdom Come...Def Jam was even tight bout that shyt...and Blueprint 3 had HIT singles like Run This Town AND Empire State Of Mind...but I still think Jay would sell more out the gate then Nas tho..he's simply just more popular...

 

[The Entity]

Fukk you, Pay me

 

[beenz]

I am surprised. I didn't know his songs were even on the radio. This is good news tho. He this time.

This just isn't true.. Jay is more popular than Nas in the mainstream period..Nobody ever says "I don't like rap, but I listen to Nas"...While you hear this from Jay-Z and Eminem fans all the time...Oprah and Michelle Obama probably don't even know who Nas is...Jay has just done a superior job at self promotion...

It's been that way for over a decade... He doesn't need Alicia Keys and Kanye to outsell Nas...
