ughh...salt n pepa selling 5 mil is a fukkin joke.

:wtb: They make some good music. Push It is still a great song.

And to speak on the list, it's sickening that Encore sold more than 7 Day Theory.

nelly and bone thugs are the most impressive on this list.

also, I think e.99 sold more but hasn't been certified in a long time. and we all know AEOM should've been certified diamond a long time ago.

eminem would like a word with u. ENCORE sold 5m. that shyt is insane. i dont care what color his skin is.

damn, life after death was a bigger hit than all eyez on me

and lol @ mc hammer and vanilla ice albums being better than doggystyle, vol 2, e. 1999 and no way out
All Eyez On me was months before Pac's death and Life After Death was like 2 weeks after Big died..im sure if AEOM dropped right after Pac died it would have sold that too.

Many of these albums are double albums, and XXL is counting them twice.

SoundScan doesn't do that, so I think they're just getting the numbers from wikipedia or something.
