Rapper Tech N9ne scores his highest charting album and best sales week ever as "Killer" (Strange Music/Fontana) debuts at No. 12 with 36,000. The Kansas City native has been charting since 2001; his previous high came with the No. 49 debut and peak of 2007's "Misery Loves Kompany."​

How concrete are these numbers?

 

[BCnuggets]

Good shit.

LOL@ Killer having pretty much the exact same first week sales as The Tempest

from hitsdailydouble which means it'll definitely be in the ballpark



someone elsewhere said HDD numbers are sometimes 5% less than actual Soundscan numbers. I've never heard that, but we'll see. If so that'll push sales to about 34k. Soundscan releases their #'s tomorrow.

Let's just hope for the best, poor cats.

Why would you laugh at that? ICP has a much larger fanbase then Tech does.

I think thats his point. The fact that tech matched such a large selling machine, is incredible. IMO at least.

It's nice but we want more!

ummmmm good job for tech. i dont think any other independent rapper that hasnt been uber famous before could pull off numbers like these. (icp was, at one point, uber famous)

I know one Underground Artist that is happy with his almost hitting 2000.

i said elsewhere...

Atmosphere pulled about 3,000 less than Tech...and while they aren't uber famous, they're certainly well known (and dare I even say more "respected" too)

Wasn't Atmosphere featured on Myspace?

 

[identity-x]

I believe so...

...jesus, wonder how much that costs.

I think I remeber seeing an ad for the Atmosphonere album. He also has the spots in between shows now on MTV. Not sure if if would help Tech or not to do that but Im sure it wouldnt hurt
