that was dope..i like how common said his favorite will smith song was summertime :peace:

haha awesome :ridepony:

i know the magnificent shipped 200, 000 worldwide which is pretty good for an independant album.. i dont know the figures but if i was to guess id say the magnificent sold 30, 000 in the US but you never know the distribution was pretty bad over there

and while I'm in this predicting mood im gonna go out on a limb and say that this week lost and found will sell MORE than what it did last week :wiggle:

the "digital tracks" chart is based on sales of digital tracks from itunes etc.. the digital songs chart, is based on downloads on the internet its done be neilson(same guys who do tv ratings) and they track how much a songs being downloaded..but not bought..from what i can gather.. now i predict switch will reach its highest position on the US charts next week..

wow uk singles sales have dropped..300, 000 is gold and looks like it wont make that..but i think it can get to 3 :thumb:

Frenetic Abstract Rude is one of my favorite artists.. I have all the Abstract Tribe Unique albums, haiku de'tat albums, and a-team albums with acey.. he makes great music!! :bowdown:

George Pelecanos - Hard Revolution

and in this corner definitely has the funniest stories..that gets my vote :thumb:

yeah divx xvid avi is fine! post away :thumb:

AJ you need to check the latest sales figures.. I've been following em closely the last 6 months..and not many artists are going gold..cd sales are on the decline.. a big artist with a few hit singles is selling 1.5 to 2 million.. even eminem years ago he was sellin 10 million his last album only sold 4 million... as bigted said LL Cool J's last album sold 600, 000 so thats the first goal i have for lost and found to reach something around that.. you cant say gold is a failure especially when Wills last album sold just 230, 000 this is a good comeback from him..give him props! :dancingcool:

hey it only dropped 1, 000 its all about consistency.. if lost and found can sell abt 30, 000 for the next 4 weeks it will be up 435, 000.. before he'd even have a 2nd single out..things are still lookin good

ha good idea..hitsdailydoubles numbers always seem to be lower than the actual numbers :werd:

RAP IT UP Not only is Will Smith performing with old friend DJ Jazzy Jeff at the KISS concert, but word is the Jazzy one will be spinning discs at the after-party at Vinalia. Rob Thomas is also on the lineup for the May 21 show at the Tweeter Center. http://www.boston.com/news/globe/living/ar..._martha_moment/

The question is "where is it rising?" It's not rising in the US by any significant measure anymore. All this milking of Switch doesn't seem to be helping album sales either. :speechless: maxfly did you check the mediabase link? they track the amount of spins switch gets.. I'll tell you this now.. look for switch to rise once gain on the billboard hot 100 this week and the next! last week switch moved up 3 spots on radio play..but dropped 3 spots on the digital music chart..so it stayed at 17.. this week it has gained abt 4 spots on radio so far.. and has actually risen on itunes.. so switch is comin again i tell you! ive also been lookin at a lot of these charts from radio stations and they all have switch rising .. im lookin forward to this weeks singles charts in a couple of days its gonna be interestin...

hey ted thats sum great verses right there.. the onus is an awesome track wes, 1 of my favs! lets hope the reconstruction comes out soon!

well the music industry is changing once again.. back in the early 90s if you went gold that was a real achievement.. in the late 90s you had to go multi-platinum.. gold meant nothin.. now in 2005 with downloading of music etc going gold is once again acceptable and sumthin 2 aim for.. only 4 or 5 artists will sell millions in a few weeks out of 1000s of releases... if lost and found goes gold that will be a solid achivement..and is gonna encourage Will to release another album..sooner rather than later

http://www.z104.com/Playlist.asp it has the percentage so we can see how will is doin..every1 vote it to #1 !!! and heres another 1 http://www.1075theriver.com/interactive8.html

yeah and cataboy has done more than that 4 me and everyone on this site.. :werd: thats just a sample

you cant release a new single when the current single hasnt run its course.. if you released tell me why radio stations would just play switch and wouldnt bother about tell me why

if you like the old skool stuff then just listen to those albums!!! :werd: Will has 9 albums of material..i dont want him to do the same stuff over and over again.. hes come anew..with sumthin different..and i like it

a lot of them were young girls..teeny bopper fans who have no loyalty and when they grow up they aint gonna buy wills next album..it was kind of a disposable audience.. but with lost and found..if switch can make it sell 400, 000.. tell me why being a hit could push sales up to 800, 000 plus.. its just the beginning :ridepony:

yeah we'll all just have to wait and see :toetap:

you cant release a new single when switch sontinues to rise..check this radi airplay chart http://www.mediabase.com/mmrweb/AllAccess/....asp?format=H1M its moved from 14 to 10 this week..with an additional 533 spins.. now 5 songs above it are going down..so switch could be the 5th most played song in a couple of weeks.. all the increased airplay will get as many sales of lost and found as it can.. when switch starts goin down those charts..then it will be time for tell me why..and that will increase the lost and found sales a lot.. switch is still #6 on itunes music store..so theres plenty more to be gained out of switchs second wind and maxfly the billboard charts work so that the issue date is a week ahead weird that :kekeke:
