The Numbers Game: Jamie, Beyoncé, & Clifford
For some reason, this week has been hard on your boy B-Easy. Not to say I’m not working on projects for nappyafro. I’m ALWAYS working on projects for nappyafro (Shit, I gave you people magic earlier this week). No complaints though; I love what we do here. And if you know me, you know that when I ramble on about nothing in The Numbers Game, it must be a pretty boring week in term of album sales. Hip-Hop wise, the noticeably thing that did happen was that Joe Budden’s new album Padded Room fell over 130 spots to #176. Still not bad for an indie. Check back next week to see how new albums from The-Dream & J. Holiday do on the charts.

Rihanna sold 10,900 copies of Good Girl Gone Bad in it’s 92nd week. WHO IS STILL BUYING THIS ALBUM?
Now I didn’t research it, but I just looked back at a few NUMBERS GAME and noticed her sales for the week are always a nice number…10900, 17000, 13000….I think her label is buying this shit and passing them out. There are ORDER numbers not individual sales numbers for sure
I wonder the same thing….
Why the fuck isn’t Joe buddens album selling? Go to the last song. Its deep as fuck.
reason why budden isn’t selling is cuz he isn’t major yet, and sadly most of the public have not heard of him.
