I got some Young Jeezy album information for you guys. But I can’t decide if it’s good or bad news.
I got the SoundScan numbers late yesterday, and I’ve been noticing for a few weeks that the Atlanta MC’s newest album is starting to lose its steam on the charts. After riding it out on the charts for more then 7 weeks it looks like any hopes for platinum success is slowly diminishing. According to the new SoundScan reports, Mr. Jenkin’s socially conscious album sold 26K copies this week, bringing his US total to 561,561.
But in today’s shaky music industry I’m not sure if these numbers equate a commercial failure. Out of all the Def Jam artists that have dropped projects this year, this is easily one of the most successful ones. But I still held higher hopes for this project.
And now that we are officially in the fourth quarter [we are in fourth quater, right?] and with SOHH many albums dropping from bigger and more popular names, does the Young Jeezy have what it takes to push this album into platinums status?
Jeezy has just wrapped two video shoots in Atlanta, and the holiday season is coming up followed by the Grammy’s, so I guess he could still ride it out at least 200, 000 more copies to push him into the low seven-hundred thousand range. But anything more then that seems extremely doubtful.
Platinum status or not, what did you think of the album? Did it live up to the hype?
I have still yet to here the project.
Let’s see what happens here.
