"We are often asked why we don’t just use sales figures from SoundScan. SoundScan measures over-the-counter sales at music retail locations, while the RIAA®'s certification levels are based on unit shipments (minus returns) from manufacturers to a wide range of accounts, including non-retail record clubs, mail order houses, specialty stores, units shipped for Internet fulfillment or direct marketing sales, such as TV-advertised albums."
The homie went gold...

You dont know how it works...he coulda pressed up a billion... but he sold 500K plus to the stores.... he doesnt have em all on consignment till people come swoop em up lol. There are a ton of things soundscan doesnt take into consideration.
I said its certified gold... you said i doubt it... i was just postin up facts... the man got his gold record.
I liked this cd a lot I think the reason it does not a have Texas fell to it, even thou I dont know what a Texas feel is cuz I'm not from there, but anyway I think Chamillionaire is more about the lyrics, and show off his lyricism. I think he did sing a lil bit too much, but its all good in the hood. I liked it, especially the joint with Krayzie Bone, Ridin Dirty.
I obviously need to go get that Lil Wayne the carter album. I have waited this long to go get it cause I was in disbelief that it would be any good. I didn't dig any of his other albums.
I almost bought that chamillionaire album today, but decided I didn't want to based on what i have heard of it so far, so it was good to hear y'alls opinions on it too. I definitely thought Paul's album had a lot more of a texas feel to it, and when I heard it for the first time all the way through, my first words were "texas won with this album."
It surprises me though that so many of y'all are surprised that their mainstream music isn't as good as the underground stuff. It's not the first time it's happened, in fact, it happens damn near everytime! One of the only exceptions has been a couple of the cash money cd's, UGK and Eightball and MJG. Other than that, damn near everyone else has been lackin on their mainstream efforts.
