lol 1k
cosign
wrong tard bisd sold 115k first week but they added 2 weeks itunes sales onto it because they worked out a special deal thats why 45k is added on
Like an NFL coaching staff making in-game adjustments on the fly, Interscope’s Jimmy Iovine and Steve Berman did some last-minute maneuvering around the release of 50 Cent’s Before I Self Destruct following worldwide Internet leaks weeks prior to the original street date. In rapid succession, they pushed forward the physical release date from Nov. 23 to Nov. 17 — the soonest the CD could be manufactured and shipped — while also working out a one-week exclusive with iTunes for the digital album, to take effect Nov. 10. In return, iTunes agreed to go against its standard policy and “locked” the album, with only the single available a la carte, selling 46k album downloads during the exclusive window. Additionally, the compilers of the charts agreed to include the initial iTunes sales in the total for first week of general release, which is now looking in the 140-150k range.
just proving it did 115k first week done now
wait hold on, how much does a label get off an album sale?

Because isnt deeper than rap at 400k and 10 bucks a cd thats 4 million bucks. Even if they only get half thats 2 mil and that is still over 1 mil

So how would ricky be in the red? just asking, no need to "get at me" lol
c/s
ten bucks is pushing it, maybe like 7 plus the artist makes about 2 bucks a disc (if he got a good deal , some artists make as little as ten cents a disc) , you got the label , the producers ,the features the lawyers ,the studio time, mixing and mastering , the manufacture and distribution and promotion the music videos and they spent a hell of a lot more than 1 million for promo try 2-4 mil and they pressed up 300k copies with the first shipment and remember the artist doesnt get a penny until all the costs are covered
yea lol i edited my comment to include that just before i saw this response lol
