Video After The Jump

 

Drake's Take Care album was expected to do big first week numbers and it delivered.

 

Official Nielsen Soundscan numbers come out tomorrow, but according to HitsDailyDouble, the album sold 659,190 copies to easily claim the top spot. Michael Buble's Christmas album will take the No. 2 spot with 170, 071 units sold.

 

Take Care marks Drake's second consecutive No. 1 selling album following his debut, Thank Me Later, which sold 447,000 it's first week out.

 

Prior to knowing what Drake's final numbers would be his Young Money boss Lil Wayne spoke to MTV about getting a point across with the disc.

 

"We expect to work very hard. We expect people to respect our hard work," Weezy said. "Pardon me for sounding however I sound with this statement, but we rich as sh*t. So, numbers and record sales that doesn't matter to none of us. We just wanna get a perfect point across. If we get that done with the album... mission accomplished."

incase ya didn't know, Cash money has 1 of the best contracts in the entire music industry with universal !!! they retain 85% of all royalties, 50% publishing revenues, and they own 100% of their masters ... birdman and his brother could fill their swimming pool with nothing but 100 dollar bills and swim in it .......... no homo ............................ on a serious note though, why ya hating on on them, they litteraly get a brinks truck to go deposit their money in their bank, while ya go to your nearest 24/7 check cashing location to deposit your minimum wage pay check !!!

the problem why 50 can't do the same is because there is too many middle mens in between before he gets his dollar,so imagine how short changed his artist would be signed to him, not his fault, just contracting issues..... he gotta pay eminem (shady records), then dre(Aftermath), then interscope, and then universal ..... while birdman only pays universal, this means birdman is equivelant to interscope in the sense of position and profit wise, and who knows even better, I don't think interscope got that lovely deal .... so there you have it ........ I do believe 50 was able to get an extension of his g unit records solely with interscope, but that still means he gotta pay interscope, than uiversal !!!! that would be the same as lil wayne with young money records, except that wayne is fortunate enough to have superstarts that are on top of their game which include Drake, Nicki Minaj, Bow Wow who is established and has his own fan base, as well as Jay sean who is killing it overseas .....like i said, while their making money, your logging into thisis50.com to hate on

and if ya wanna go deeper than what i just finished saying, both interscope and defjam are owned by universal, while universal is owned by vivendi !!!! whose CEO is jean-bernard levi , wow they litteraly taking your money .... while you guys think all these lables are in competition, they owned by the same brand, sorta like Tide and Gain detergants being both owned by proctor and gamble, whcih is the smart thing to do, create competition whithin insteat of outside.... you people gotta look deep into things and see whats going on, stop being a consumer, become a businessman, or businesswoman !!!

Drake Did His Numbers With The Album
Comment by Lewis Threat on November 22, 2011 at 7:40pm
To whoever Fridge is please go Kill Yoself why would Drake be scared of J.Cole Cole sold 215,000 Drake sold 659,000 he's clearly the bigger artist if anything its the other way around Cole did not want to be #2 and Jay-Z knew it too so he dropped it early enough before Drake came out
