Why are y'all being obtuse as if he didn't do this before with Samsung I didn't know about the vouchers. Good for him though. He'll get 1M in actual units soon, since the album is coming to Apple Music in a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trying to discredit him from that. And maybe I'm a bit too far removed from the rap genre to really fully understand his impact, but it just seems like nowadays, he gets more press for being married to Beyoncé than for his own career. I know people don't only know him as "the guy that married Beyoncé," but he doesn't get nearly as much attention for his actual music career anymore, which is unfortunate because he is a rap icon and I think musicians should be more known for their music than for their celebrity status. I'll just leave this here for you. http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1924866/jay-zs-magna-carta-debuts-at-no-1-on-billboard-200-chart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SebaMonster Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I wish artists would stop trying to cheat the system. Certifications for albums with deals like this are meaningless. It's the SPS units we should look at. It's still a great album though and he'll probably push 1M real units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Émotif Fool Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) Let's say he did 300,000,000 streams the first week/1500=200,000 units+800,000*(sprint is still giving out vouchers for the album)=1,000,000+. Anti teas what the **** does sprint gain from this ?

How is it a shoddy deal when tour deals exist & your favs are selling albums for $3 on Amazon 5 minutes ago, Cap10Planet said: I can see Jay-Z doing 250-300k pure sales first week and 400k SPS. I don't think his album will have much longevity (at least not in sales) without a big hit, though. He probably won't even promote the album. I think he'll do more than 400k SPS if physicals come this Friday. He's got a tour coming and visiual that might get put on HBO according to rumours so that should give it longevity tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aden Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Yeah, like we are supposed to believe he get 1.5 billion streams on an album exclusively available to one streaming platform, a platform that isn't in the top ten largest streaming platforms overall. The Carters are a complete fraud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadnews Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 you guys still don't understand how it works, when RIAA has been doing that since the beginning.. lol his 1m certification is not only from streaming, but free download, + physical shipment too. (July.7 release) and label have to prove papers, recipets to RIAA. and they will audit those numbers before certification. you can't fake it.
