Yup if we start to say now overseas thats a different thing indy style the most i seen sold are artist like
LEX AD
SEAN T
ASSASSIN
YOUNG D BOYZ
STEADY MOBBIN
H-WOOD
All records by these artist and past and present move tremendous units in JAPAN and are considered like gods in JAPAN trust me ask FRISCO STREETSHOW SHOWTIME or RYAN at RAPBAY we are like JAY Zs in JAPAN as far as being known wise JAY Zs in the MILLIONS but major.
groups that were mentioned sold thousands and thousands of cds out there.
Im pretty sure Hiero to because they stay playing overseas and u can never catchem in the states nomore there getting breaded out there.I dont know there exact sales but im pretty sure there doing it big because they had huge succsess before and after signing to a major.
None of these dudes are like JAY-Z ANYWHERE ON THE PLANET EARTH.

you would be surprised, who is the bigest selling artist in belgium and germany? he is from the bay. so in those two countries you got a bay artist that is bigger than anyone in the game. and right now you can sell ut a venue in france with hiero quicker than you could with jay-z. my folks went to tokyo and walked into a hip-hop store and the shit was a shrine to jt the bigga figga. jt bumping overhead. he told them he had met jt and showed them he was from the bay and they gave him fits if he promised to tell jt they said hi.

^^^^Every release them lables mentioned sold over 20k with each release
its all 2 close between all of them whos king of sales.Only 2 remain indy or before revamping or shutting down.
LIFERDEF
AWOL
STILL OPERARTING & INDY

So let's break it down like this which indy lable before signing to priority sold the most before closing doors answer BLACKMARKET was the first.First ones to prolly really sell over 300k indy style b4 priority.
Second would be AWOL with CBO and they still remain in business along with LIFERDEF. Thats the biddness take it from an og playa!
Should it be which is the first to do so or who did the most indy and still operating? Never the less check 4 them lables and history,we cant forget about siccwit also with st charles dist was indy before signing to jive 40 sold alot but remained indy shortly after 60k to 100k after jive scooped him up.How do i know this info because i seen the scans and was on BLACKMARKET back in the days with ASSASSIN HITWORKS.And read the waltz wax reports with cityhall which every lable had dist through 10 years ago.If you really wanna take it way back to 50 girls presents (TOO$HORT) they were the first to skyrocket any kind of indy sales along with Hammer and these my friends were pieces of vinyl moving counting as pieces no cds were even thought of it was cassete tapes and vinyl!
STILL.. the thread title says which album sold the most not which label catalogue

baby bash is huge over there. you can't fill a small club in the bay with baby bash, but he sold nearly two million in europe. you will sell more tickets in germany for yuk than you will for any platinum rapper
