ouch 40 only at 40000 after 2 weeks, that terrible fuck where the economy is at this album flopped badly

40K ain't bad....I'm sure if he does 100K he will recoup....It really didn't look like he put that much money into this album...

hella mainstream features, so unless he's good friends with those people then a lot was cashed out


i cant believe game hasnt even hit 600k....good album and it has a big single

 

[Handz]

40,000 is horrible E-40 is on a major label he gots to do at least 250,000 to recoup.

Reccesion. The Game,40,Jeezy,Luda, even Beyonce, all music numbers are close to 50% from last time. they numbers aint bad

The #'s were inflated last week because of the black friday week. All albums were really cheap. Earl's #'s are similar to Too Shorts last album. Might be time to hang up the mic, unless he just releases independently.
Look at Akon's numbers, less than what T-Pain did. Album was different, so I guess it never picked up.

 

[J:M]

It's definitely the quality + economy. Even if it's 10% not as hot as Ghetto Report Card, that shit matters when everybody pinching pennies.

 

[leftcoast415]

If i remember correctly..... 40 watta was selling 11k a week like 10 weeks after his last album was released..... good thing he has other business ventures...

 

[BASEDVATO]

just not to same hype... last time 40 dropped, it sparked MTV exposure and this whole "what is hyphy?" across the country...

if albums stayed cheap like black friday... you'd see way more sales.



I predict 40 to top out at 175k once he start touring ect.

i wouldnt say 40 k is a flop for 2 weeks

anyways FUCK HOW MUCH IT SOLD
the album was good thats all that matters

40 is still relevant
i know alot of people who downloaded his album so IMO those numbers dont reflect how many people are checkin for him
especially in this recession where 15 dollars is the difference of gettin a cd or payin your PGE for alot of people

 

[KEEPIT100]

E-40 is on a major label he gots to do at least 250,000 to recoup.

How can someone go around and talk/post on things that they have no fuckin clue what there saying????? Thats messy and quite female like

 

[KEEPIT100]

good thing he has other business ventures...

Why is that? Do you know something we dont know? do you know how many concerts are booked at what price? do you know how many verses he is doing at what price? do you know what movies/shows he is doing at what price? You tryin to spread posion like making money of music is ova for 40 or something.

 

[RevoL]

lmao @ these doods thinking they know the dollar amount of what went into this album, and how many sales it's gon take to recop that...hahaha...shit do you know the details of the contract too? let me know

 

[macdrebaby]

E40 always sells alot over time, he aint about 1 week or 2 week sales. Dude will sell, just give it time. And i highly doubt E40 payed for all those features or beats out his pocket. I bet he aint put alot of his own money into this album.

Look how long it took In a major way to sell what it has. 40 water gonna gets sales regardless of how good a few weeks of sales are.

These numbers are also just USA numbers, what bout canada, uk,etc?? I know for a fact 40 sell well in Canada

 

[THE ACIDRAPTOR]

His new album is disappointing, thats why it aint sellin......

 

[localstar907]

The Game album gold/Jezzy album Gold/Luda album almost 300,000 out the gate. Ludas last album did the same numbers it's first week/ Beyonce platinum after three weeks on the charts them numbers sound positive to me. No 50% decline

Reccesion. The Game,40,Jeezy,Luda, even Beyonce, all music numbers are close to 50% from last time. they numbers aint bad

 

[Haystack.ca]

40,000 is not great 4 major lable but it still killin any independent release.i think he lost alot of his old fan base due 2 the new hyphy e 40.but he also grew a new 1.u can call me a hater but i dont even want to hear it the last album he did that i was real inpressed with was grit and grind.that was a slapper.

 

[Infantry Elite]

just thought of this....didnt tech n9ne sell more first week???

on his own indie label too...almost zero radio play, no akon, no t-pain, no shawty lo, no big name producers...

e-40 must be losin his fanbase
