Kanye’s “808s & Heartbreak” Goes Platinum (Beyonce 1.5 & Lil Wayne 2.8)
Chozen | 11 comments | 1,771 views |
So 5 weeks after Kanye West drops his fourth studio album, he hits the million dollar mark. I have to say that it’s definitely my least favorite Kanye album, but there is a few good tracks such as See You in My Nightmares ft Lil Wayne and Amazing featuring Young Jeezy.
On a side note T.I. & Beyonce are both around the 1.5 million mark while Lil Wayne is as 2.8 million and Soulja Boy is up to 80k sold after two weeks.
Overall sales are down as expected and they will never rise again, in terms of retail. Digital sales will continue to rise.
Sales have plummeted 45 percent from the industry’s high-water mark of 785.1 million units in 2000, due largely to Internet piracy and competition from other forms of entertainment such as video games. Digital track sales rose 27 percent to a record 1.07 billion units, but the growth was slower than the 45 percent jump in 2007.

Hey I just wanted to let you know, I really like the written material on your website. But I am utilising Flock on a machine running version 9.10 of Ubuntu and the UI aren’t quite satisfactory. Not a strong deal, I can still essentially read the articles and research for info, but just wanted to inform you about that. The navigation bar is kind of challenging to apply with the config I’m running. Keep up the great work!

I as well as my buddies happened to be studying the best techniques located on the blog then all of a sudden I got a terrible feeling I had not expressed respect to the web blog owner for them. My young men are already so excited to learn them and already have quite simply been tapping into them. We appreciate you getting indeed thoughtful and also for pick out these kinds of outstanding topics most people are really needing to learn about. Our sincere apologies for not expressing appreciation to you sooner.
