So that means everything you have ever posted to do with sales has now become invalidated by your own logic because it doesn't come straight from SoundScan with a public link.

I was right, he picks and chooses

I agree - it is my decision regarding what I find reliable and what I do not.

The Billboard article from 4-5 years ago was not sufficient evidence for me in this conversation.

Who do you think you are

[Vonc2002]

I was right, he picks and chooses when Soundscan and RIAA are relevant, just like he was trying to downplay streams vs pure sales when Cardi booked Nicki's first week, but turned around and stood behind Nicki's streams

He hates being wrong and that's why he always gets caught in these situations.  He really ain't built for this place

[Hatsumomo]

So the bottom line and synopsis of this thread Nicki is the SECOND most certified (which is not exact and certs can be brought after certain thresholds and other criteria) female rapper in the us.

Missy is the BEST selling female rapper in the US flat out with no stipulations or other criteria.

basically lmao

Glad we cleared this up pal lolz

[FlowerBomb]

But a Billboard article is right any other time right?
That Usher post was something from Vibe and stood by it then
No soundscan, not RIAA not even a Billboard link included

I was right, he picks and chooses

I agree - it is my decision regarding what I find reliable and what I do not.

Going by that logic I don't find RIAA reliable.     

[FlowerBomb]

Ok?
That means anyone can pick and choose what's reliable, you've been citing Billboard for years for your faves now all of a sudden their inaccurate because it doesn't favor Nicki in THIS particular debate?
grow up

[LOONA.]

RIAA including mail orders and product shipped to retail stores as sales towards album and single certifications is not sufficient evidence for me in this conversation.     

[FlowerBomb]

So that means everything you have ever posted to do with sales has now become invalidated by your own logic because it doesn't come straight from SoundScan with a public link.

It means that it would be up to you as the reader to either:

a) Accept the information posted and simply carry on with your day
or
b) Question/challenge it - at which point I'd have to decide if I'm willing to verify it to your satisfaction.

We're at point B in this conversation.

Do you have the link?

Im just typing to type and don't have any rebuttal so I'm going around in circles in hopes you'll get lost with me and forget what the point was

Lmao got ya!

[FlowerBomb]

I already said there's really not much for me to debate

then why you still here

[Vonc2002]

grow up

PERIOD

[Kalifornia.]

Fuck opinions, let's get to the numbers now.

Confessions. Spawning two Number One hits and selling over a million units in its first week, it ended up being the best-selling R&B album of all time.
