lol that includes singles buddy. Here is Eminem's statistics.

 

His worldwide albums sales stand at more than 100 million, singles 120 million, and the estimated sale of over 220 million records worldwide.[6][7][8] In the United States, he has sold 49.1 million albums and 42 million tracks.[9]

 

I'm talking ALBUMS. You know them right? That's the things you all apparantly buy since you're too good for singles but since we're on the subject of singles........120 million! So if you combine them that is 220 million lol.

 

 

How many years do you think it'll take Taylor Swift and Rihanna to get a total sales figure like that?

That means you open it up and you play it and are able to hear it. I was looking at some albums today, not that long till they're out and others only just out in the last few months and not only do I

And as for you Derek, I'm not any Try Hard or whatever you call it. I made a thread saying what I felt needed to be said, everything I said was true and if you don't like it tough. If i wanted to know your opinion I'd ask you1. There is no crime about saying what you think, then again you do live in America, I know you don't have freedom of speech over there anymore. Old Barry from Kenya seen to that. Couldn't even vote an American to be your President could you and now the TSA have their hands down everyones pants in airports and you have all these patsys running around trying to scare people into giving up their guns and all these other fake things going on in the government2.

 

1 The best part of this logic is that - quite frankly - no one asked you for your opinion.  Do you see how this works?  You have every right to stand on your soapbox and make a fool of yourself on these forums, no doubt.  But as a community you've intruded on, we have just as much right to call you out on all your inane bullshit.  That's how it works around these here parts.

 

2 Sure got political in here.  I have no idea what sort of raw nerve we've struck, but your sporadic rant about America is adorable.  As other members have stated, no country is without its fair share of problems.  America notwithstanding.  But all things considered, I'm willing to bet I've got a better footing over here than you do, in whatever shit-hole you've got a 56k dial-up cord running into.

 

I have no idea what your beef is; every point you've tried to make has been both ridiculed and also intelligently shot down by every member in this thread.  Every response you've conjured up has been a quality reaction GIF, Shaq praise, random nonsense, or a retort that punches holes right through your garbage logic.  Point in hand, you've contributed nothing to this forum.  Save whatever face you have left and delete your accounts.  I know I wouldn't be the only one who'd appreciate it.

You should talk to ItsAJakie about moving units.

That means you open it up and you play it and are able to hear it. I was looking at some albums today, not that long till they're out and others only just out in the last few months and not only do I see terms like sold out and limited and varients but I see people doing trades. Then I browse the very few music forums I bother with including this one and I see these same terms and what I did was I looked at these albums that have sold out in just a few months and also to the ones coming out and it's the same kind of thing. This one will be numbered, this one will be red but this other black varient is only 1000 copies.

 

 

Really? Is that what music is now? That to me means it's shit. How can any company or label with a straight face say they care about the music they are releasing when they stick a number on each one, different colours on each one and then places like this talk about it so you end up with all these people buying the damn things just for the sake of it having it as a collectable. Don't get me wrong, if i owned a label, i'd take every penny I could get out of all you people. You deserve to have your money taken out of your pocket, you deserve to be ripped off, you deserve to pay $30 for a piece of cheap PVC plastic stuck inside some cheap cardboard cover. If i was them I'd do the same damned thing because obviously hand written numbers and colours and limited pressings means more than buying something because you want it and it's going to give you pleasure to listen to it.

 

 

I applaud the bootleggers. I wish they would do more. Paragon done some great bootlegs over the last few years with regards to 12" singles. What we need is more bootleggers to start pressing albums and sell them fast and cheap. Let's face it, major labels are just gonna stick the same CD master onto the record anyway, it's not like they're gonna spend any time making sure Katy Perry sounds good on vinyl so I think we need to go back to the 1990s where the white label was king and you all know that anyway. You know the albums you buy from Amazon are just as good as any bootleg, you fool yourselves into believing you're getting something better but it really isn't. I'd rather that than be told there is only 1000 copies of an album being pressed but oh no....that's just a colour, if you want it on black vinyl well, you're screwed cause that sold out in so many hours but don't worry you can still buy some on white vinyl from this cowboy website in America and pay lots of shipping on top of the premium price because remember it's limited!  We could easily press 5 or 6000 of them but we'd rather fuck you up the ass and get what we can while we can. What an insult to me and my fellow music fans.

 

 

It's all money money money. Anytime i read the word varient or hand numbered or limited I will think of the word money because that's all it is about. And don't any of you lot think I'm on your side, I told you people not that long ago it was your fault for killing off the 7" and 12" single and now through sheer greed and ignorance you're starting to kill off the album LP. Shame on all of you that buy into all this hype and talk and throw your money at these money hungry labels. And you can badmouth me all you want like you tried to do last time because I mentioned I liked popular music and this place thrives on guitar driven music and lets sit barefoot singing a song about love and peace and the thing is, at least with my music, i don't need a million options, I don't need money taken from my bank account months in advance because some geek who has more money than sense decides to dive in and buy it for the sake of making a quick buck rather than giving it to me, someone who actually wants it for the right reasons. When Eminem's MMLP2 gets released in a few weeks, and it will be on vinyl in the UK, no word on the US yet. At least I know i can not only buy it on release but I can buy it at Christmas, next year even, maybe next Christmas or Christmas 2015 because real labels don't just pick a number out of thin air, they keep pressing them and keep making them available to suit the demand. It's like the 100,000 copies of Justin Timberlake's 20/20 album. Those copies will last years. That's how it should be done. Infact I don't even want any replies in this thread, I just had to get that off my chest and let you people know what I think and what I think is right, I'm always right so don't try and argue back at me because you know I'm right and I don't care what the excuses are, It's BS and it ruins the very thought of buying a musical album. Music was never about that and it should never be about that.No one should ever have to feel pressured about buying an album because oh no if you don't buy it now then you can't later. All this stuff about colours is rubbish too, no coloured vinyl was ever superior to black virgin vinyl. Hand numbering? That's fine as long as you keep making them, you don't just stop after a certain number, if the demand is there then you keep going, you don't force people onto Ebay or Discogs. Or you do what the big labels do, you press plenty and you do it on black vinyl and you ship it everywhere you can.

 

Okay.

I really think this thread should be stickied now although I don't have much faith in the admin here since they allow all of you to use your foul language towards innocent members like myself and abuse me with your words.

Cray cray has to be the only person above the age of 12 that firmly believes sales numbers equal quality.  :lol:

 

 

And who is the biggest chart topper in Slovenia right now? Some band called chibbadibbadoodoo or something. I can't even speak the Slovenik language. You should be thankful of the internet and that you get to hear great music from the western world and hear artists like Eminem.
