Epic Fail Alert: Lil' Bow Wow sells just over 18,000
Quote:
I’m hearing that Lil Bow Wow sold just 18,586 units in the first week of New Jack City II’s release.To put this in perspective for you, that’s like 981,414 less than what Lil Wayne did with Carter III in its first week. That’s a tremendous failure. An album’s first week is usually the strongest for sales so it’s just downhill from here. I’ve seen artists with higher numbers than him get dropped for not having strong sales.
Lil Bow Wow has been known to not only be arrogant but emotional. That guy’s pride has to be crushed. So who’s willing to bet that he’s somewhere in a bed crying while Omarion gently pets his hair and tells him, “it will be okay”?
Of course most of the blame can be attributed to the fact that Lil Bow Wow sucks but I’d like to think that part of it has to be from that dumb album title. New Jack City II? People probably saw it on shelves and thought it was a soundtrack for a straight to DVD film.
I feel kind of bad for him, although I really don't like him or his music. The industry is just a mess right now---barely anyone is moving huge numbers. A lot of people who're charting in the top 10 can barely break Gold at the end of the day.
