Taylor owning the **** outta billbaord charts.


She deserves it tho, love this album.

[Airhead]

DEAD @ Chief Keef having a better first week than Big Boi.

[iHype.]

I find it funny R&B/Hip-Hop Artists can release songs and not even make the Hot 100 or Top 10 R&B/Hip-Hop and still do album sales like this.

Keyshia Cole, T.I., Wiz Khalifa, all of them.


Now imagine if they were smashing like Pop Artist. This is proof music isn't dead, people aren't here for these new artists.

[NewRihannaStan]

I can't at Taylor I'm done

[Kang.]

Not bad at all.

[Forevermore]

Really great sales for T.I. considering the lack of hits. I love the cover of his album too.

[Sammi]

Nice numbers for T.I.

[CaptainMusic]

I didn't even know he was releasing a new album.

Good numbers for both him and Taylor.

[NewRihannaStan]

Taylor has blocked everyone but Rihanna

[iHype.]

Everyone saying these are nice, lmao.

Let's review his albums debut sales:
Trap Muzik (2003): 109,000
Urban Legend (2004): 193,000
King (2006): 522,000
T.I. vs. T.I.P. (2007): 468,000
Paper Trail (2008): 568,000
No Mercy (2010): 159,000 (due to him being in jail, singles not being able to be released, etc)


Sooo considering this album is selling in the range of his albums before he was mainstream, and while he was in jail It's underperforming I guess.

It's nice because he had no hit this time around. That's why.

gURL bye. T.I. was everywhere a few months ago in Rap World.

2 Reasons with Trey Songz was a bop, he had 2/3 singles doing OK for R&B/Hip-Hop, and he has a show on VH1 that is a hit.

And T.I. is mainstream in the 1st place, he had albums at this level when he wasn't known, and had no hits on top of that.

[HOD]

This Swift bitch needs to go away already, let the others have a chance

[Crazytowel]

Expected much worse for T.I.

Of course months ago, but when compared into conjunction with other mainstream artists, these sales are good.

The fans need to support the single sales though.

In general, yes. For him, not.

That's like saying Taylor Swift's next album selling 300k would be good because in general other mainstream artists don't. That's still horrid compared to her 1.2 million from Red.

[Lyzz the Monster]

Taylor

[umich]

[Kool_Aid_King]

I didn't even know he had an album out

Lemme take a listen.
