As of this week Jay-Z has sold 29,106,000 albums in the USA. Passing 2Pac, he is 2nd only to eminem

Columbia House sold CDs for 15-35 bucks, that's why they tried to lure people in with the mail order deal.

I miss that shyt.

I think last time I saw that was in a 2004 XXL magazine. Wonder if they would still honor it if I mail it in

That is RIAA based on certifications which count double albums as 2 sales. That is why pac has albums certified diamond that sold 5 million copies. Soundscan counts a double album as one sale, so going by soundscan numbers jay has sold more, because that extra 10 million you see for pac in certifications is from double albums being counted twice

no shyt. men lie women lie numbers dont. We could do ifs ands or buts all day. It's called a double album. Which means 2 albums at one time. Pac is ahead and jay will catch up around age 50 against a guy that died at 25

2pac was going gold back in the day off of first week sales. if the internet was around back then(as in promotion and downloading), like it is now dude would've been doing eminem and lil wayne numbers.
