Wale's "The Album About Nothing" sells 98k. Ludacris "Ludaversal" sold 67k (FINAL)

Man I swear I could do a better just promoting these artists then their labels. It's not hard push Girls On Drugs hard as a lead single BEFORE THE ALBUM DROPS follow up with The Matrimony. And pick whatever for a next single. Dissapointing numbers but hey hopefully his single options can give him some legs.

 

[CrimsonTider]

It had that "Bad" single and what not...

This one is kind of out of nowhere to me. What were the big singles, etc?

Y'all got to look at it like, how much money is put into marketing, development, etc, THEN decide if the money the project brings in is flop status.

The song with jeremih has been all over the radio for months

 

[Bickin Back Being Bool]

Sean Don pushing 175k first week now Wale really thought it was smart to leave Roc Nation

big mistake

It was not a hit just played a lot

 

[Ineedmoney504]

Maybe... but then there would have been a lot of people who remember that Musiq song vividly when it was released and would have just chalked it up as Wale leaching on to something again


That song isn't THAT old, and a lot of people that still check for hiphop know exactly where he got that song from. It's one thing to sample something, but breh literally just had Sza sing the exact same hook that we've all heard before.

I truly don't think it would have mattered, nikkaz shark hooks every day b


And all the bytches that I know that heard it so far love it.

Never said it was but if that's didn't become a hit. Need to know wouldn't have become one either

Wale has no club music on this album or the run leading up to the album

Surprising didn't expect him to that much I had him around 50k to 55k & damn Ludacris on his way to his worst sales of his career.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Wale's problem was that this shyt got terrible promo. J. Cole's promo had a lot to do with that #blacklivesmatter movement and how people were feeling at the time. Obviously he has a bigger fanbase too AND nothing else worth copping had dropped. Wale should have dropped last year when he was supposed to. The label fukked him on this one. But the overall marketing scheme was terrible. Dude couldn't get one commercial with Seinfeld? Not even a youtube spotlight commercial? Damn.

I can't believe no one had the idea

I mean with some Adobe premiere, 5 minutes of footage when he recorded stuff, and some songs in the background. You could have chopped up a million promos for this thing

shyt leave the cameras on and drop a damn documentary

Someone dropped the ball on pulling in all the white Seinfeld fans. This shyt should have been marketed like seinfeld feat wale

 

[Big Boss]

The album that sold nothing

 

[Big Boss]

How the fukk did Luda sell that much I thought he was gonna do 20k:drizzywtf:

that furious 7 promo

 

[homiedontplaydat]

Album is some of his best work despite the sales

 

[IShotTheSheriff]

The song with jeremih has been all over the radio for months

shyt. I literally never listen to radio.

He had a couple songs in rotation last time around. I didn't hear the buzz this time and had the same stance on radio then. "Bad" is possibly his biggest single to date?

 

[Destined-2-Shine_HNIC]

Wake should have had that Ludacris and Miguel joint that was wasted on Ludas album.

But I guess that song has been done by them before. Great record minus it being Luda in 2015.

Wale has a ft with Usher that's in the same vein as that one. It's a great single too, we'll see if he drops a visual for it

 

[pifftannen]

i thought wale joint came out next week?
