80k+ is pretty good for an album thats only had the one single out and lack of promotion. Didn't B2R only sell 300,000 ish altogether up to present day?

This album will sell more than this in coming weeks anyway especially with more singles to come including Tell Me Why

Beanie Siegal's gonna be #1? :blabla: Well that album'll fall off the charts fast anyway since he can't tour being in prison, it's not how you start it's how you finish and besides sellin' 80,000 in one week is great for a 18-year hip-hop veteran, that's about what LL sold the 1st week for "The Definition" and KRS-ONE only sold 10,000 total on "Keep Right" independantly, when he used to put out a handful of gold albums/one platinum album('Criminal Minded"), record sales don't mean s--- right now, this album's quality and when "Tell Me Why" comes out with a JJFP tour, the sales will go through the roof, I ain't scared! :ali:

I dunno I'm thinking the promo on this album wasn't the greatest, bout the only reason I knew it was coming out was cuz I'm on this site.

I will temper my expectations to around 80k which is still a good showing. If it's higher then good. Remember that in this age of diminished CD sales that 80 is almost like what 200k was a few years ago.

But we all here did a very good promotion, or not? We all helped and supported Will as good as we can, we did everything we can! That was very well, I think!!! :sonny:
