actually they can/do... anything that has a barcode could appear on sound scan.
i never saw a mixtape appear on soundscan.. some gunit mixtapes have sold over 50k and never appeared on soundscan.. cuz the majority of the mixtapes get sold over the net and mom n pop stores and out the trunk

re-read what I said. IF IT HAS A BARCODE IT CAN APPEAR ON SOUNDSCAN. Some Gunit mixtapes didn't have uniform barcodes did they? Everyone sells shit loads of albums "out the trunk" and in "mom n pops", wait thats a different argument... Most mixtapes don't have barcodes because they have stolen beats and verses so they don't want to be tracked. Also most mixtapes don't sell well. Don't try to say what can or won't show up on soundscan. I could wipe my ass and put a barcode on it, and if it sold enough it would show up on soundscan. The folks at soundscan don't listen to every cd to see if it is a "mixtape" or an album, they just count scans, pure and simple. Sorry if I come across angry but it seems like a simple enough concept.

Yeah i know if it has a barcode it will appear on soundscan im not stupid homie, but like i said most mixtapes dont move alot of units out of record stores. SHit.. down south niggaz like chamillionaire had mixtapes out that sold 150k.

As far as yuks mixtape it got sold alot over the net, mom and pop stores and they was sellin that shit at they shows and out the trunk.

I dont know about 100k, but i wouldnt be suprised if it sold alot of copies everyone i know has a copy of it and yuk prolly has one of the biggest and most solid fanbases in the bay.

Just because it has a barcode don't mean it will appear on soundscan. You have to register the title and barcode w/ soundscan first.
and what would stop an artist in doing that? You act like its a whole ordeal to register a fucking barcode..

most distribution databases are sent to soundscan, it is not the artist or labels responsibility to do it.

Why are some of you taking guesses at how many units certain mixtapes have sold and then arguing about it? It's like you either make up numbers or hear some net gossip/hype and run with it. Doesn't make any sense why you're going back & forth over sales when it's obvious neither of you have access to the real figures.
