Sickology on pace to do 20-25K first week..

[KirbyDaAlmighty]

Oh I remember that dude.. now that you mention the phone number thing. From what I remember he wasn't too bad.

I actually quite liked the "Who Is Mike Jones?" album.

 

[Kain]

Tech didn't outsell Mike Jones...

 

[Zer0.MediA]

I'd like to know how Tech outsold Jada Kiss... but I guess that's why I don't pay attention to numbers and shit.

Hands down... Jada is a beast.

 

[KirbyDaAlmighty]

He didn't.

He outsold him this week, but Jadakiss has sold over 100,000.

 

[Zer0.MediA]

Ooooooooooooh... didn't see that. Thnx.

 

[Poet Laureate]

Yeah, Jada did 125K first week I believe. Supposedly Jada himself was pretty surprised at how well it sold first week.

 

[explicit_evilz]

They used the H.D.D. numbers, not the official Neilsen Sounscan numbers.

So Kain, those numbers were wrong?

I honestly did not know that, please clarify...


How much did "Sickology 101" sell total first week?

 

[Kain]

Neilsen originally reported the 18,000 number, but Strange later supplied evidence to HipHopDX that Neilsen had corrected an error in their counting which brought the number to 21,000. This is evident by the fact that Sickology 101 charted 19th on the Billboard 200, because the 18,000 number would have put him at 23rd, while the number H.D.D. reported (24,000, no clue where they got that number) would have put him in the neighborhood of 11th, hence, they were off.

TECH N9NE would have one more sale if i had bought my copy at any other store other then the mom & pop store i got it at. sorry TECH! :cheeky:

 

[jake921660]

^^^ I think you were being sarcastic, but it goes by number shipped not number sold at the checkout i think.

 

[Kain]

You're thinking of the RIAA, which goes on shipments. Soundscan goes on actual sales.

 

[jake921660]

^^^HAHAHA This record sales number shit is confusing. I thought thats what the billboard went by, but it must be something else.

 

[Kain]

Billboard is based on the Neilsen Soundscan.

 

[jake921660]

Yeah I relise that now. What goes by the number shipped?

 

[Kain]

The RIAA.

 

[savage]

so my purchase counts then? i thought sales only count when bought from major stores like hastings or f.y.e.

 

[Poet Laureate]

Yeah, RIAA is by shipment. Its kinda weird cus thats what determines whether an album goes Gold, Plat, etc. So an album might be certified platinum, but only have sold 900K or so.
