With last weeks sales of 176,832 units of Jay-Z and Kanye West’s Watch The Throne album – the two week total for the album is up to 612,911 copies with 62% of the sales from digital purchases. The duo will enjoy another week on top of the Billboard 200 charts as the #1 album in the country. Who Gon Stop Them Now?

At this rate, the album should go platinum by this time next month. Not an easy feat in this economic climate — especially in the music industry. If they officially release another single, they could easily sell another another milli quickly — their entire album is single worthy, btw.
Congrats! Hot CD still on repeat but lil wayne will dethrone them when Carter 4 drops next week..more new songs for the iPod, yay!
carter 4 is coming out next week? man lil wayne is bad at promotion and advertising.

BOY STOP!!!
WATCH THE THRONE /_\
Your a lame
RED>>> Watch the throne
It’s always about the numbers.
Jay & Kanye basically saved the summer fro Hip Hop YET AGAIN!
Stop it with The Game & Lil Wayne will dethrone them.
Game hasen’t had a hot song since How We Do.
Weezy is supposed to do a million in his first week & that’s not happening.
Congrats to The Throne. Album is constantly getting played.
Meh. for two of the biggest names in hiphop I still expected more, and with the digital sales (aka they album didnt leak like every other artists does) it shoula been more. No where near our favorite white rappers numbers
Give it time. I guarantee that when it’s all said and done, they’ll do huge numbers.
Hey truthspeakers, WTT second week numbers are higher than Bad Meets Evil’s first week numbers…. Oh, and yea, Em is my favorite white rapper too!
I dont think Wanye is going to do WTT numbers in his first week but it be fun to watch.. Releasing the album right after the MTV awards will help give him a big boost.. Momma ain’t raise no dumbie
This doesnt directly relate to this post but I wanted to repost this from a subscriber on Concreteloop by the name of ‘Babycries’. When I read it I felt more people needed to read this. It’s just a thought.
If Jay z can’t even respect his wife; who will….“Go harder than a n-gga for a n-gga go figure
Told me “keep my own money” if we ever did split up
How can somethin’ so gangsta be so pretty in pictures?
With jeans and a blazer and some Louboutin slippers
Uh, Picasso was alive he woulda made her
That’s right n-gga Mona Lisa can’t fade her
I mean Marilyn Monroe, she’s quite nice
But why all the pretty icons always all white
Back to my Beyonces
You deserve three stacks, word to Andre
Call Larry Gagosian, you belong in museums
You belong in vintage clothes watching the whole building
You belong with n-ggas who used to be known for dope dealing
You too dope for any of those civilians
Now, shoo n-gga, stop looking at her tits
Get ya own dog, ya heard
That’s my b-tch”
All that nice stuff and she doesn’t deserve better than “that’s my bitch?” Don’t get me wrong, I believe Jay has the utmost respect and admiration for Beyonce. And I think it’s cool that after years of sending subtle shout-outs her way, he very explicitly praises her this time around. That’s dope; let the youngins know it’s cool to love your wife. But why she gotta be his “bitch?”
Jay has long since been a trendsetter and his influence on youth culture is immeasurable. Please do recall the throwback jersey to button-up shirt transition of the early part of the decade and the virtual disappearance of Cristal after his boycott of the brand. This song isn’t gonna put ‘bitch’ in the mouth of people who weren’t saying it before, but imagine if he said ‘my lady’ or ‘my queen’ or simply ‘my woman’ instead? All these little wannabe rappers would be right behind him.
I doubt that Jay would have released such a song if Beyonce had a problem with it and if that language works for them, I realize that criticism becomes a bit more challenging. I’m just not with any dude using that sort of term for his woman and when your partner has been praised by First Lady Michelle Obama for being a role model for young women and even participated in a national campaign for the youth in conjunction with the White House…perhaps that sort of pet name should remain within the confines of the Knowles-Carter home.
lucifer and jezebel are the real
bonnie and clyde…straight pimping the hell out the music industry and Jay z and Beyonce are the real primary losers….
