It's not. Dudes are making excuses for failure.

How is 70K in less than a week in today's economy a failure?

70k on an Independent label with no promotion or real radio single at all? Yeah that is good to the person above who said it was a failure.

 

[big dreams]

gold - platinum
250k - gold

70k with little or no promotion on an independent is good $. Not that much middle men takin' away from the funds so you don't have to sell as manycd's to recoup the earnings....

I understand that, but the fact that so many people are willing to spend money to repurchase albums they already own shows how popular the Beatlesstill are.

[dmv is rnb]

My prediction was definitely way off

. I was wrong with this one. I should have known though seeing how heavily bootlegged this cd was

But Rae will definitely see decent bread from the 70k.

Good look for rae.

this is roc nation pledge your allegiance, hovs deff goin platinum...this is gonna get him crazy close to that billy status...i guess it was worththe grib he had to give Doug...

 

[roc4life24]

Yeah cuz basically jay wasnt an artist signed to Atlantic at all , label eats first and good

All he did was take T.I.'s spot for the year basically

He paid $5m for the rights to it so technically first week the cd itself broke even. of course marketing,production,guest fees,studio costs etc

but an outsider (of music) looking in view

Yeah, they probably released it because of the game.

"Oh yea I remember how much I liked this Beatles song, let me go buy it. Oh look, brand new remastered album, how convenient. "

Rock Band is keeping them relevant. It's probably the younger kids buying the albums.
