I'm trying to understand how Asap, Mac Miller and Tyler sold more than Sean who is definitely suppose to be more popular than them at this point.

Because he's really not... only on the internet do cats even talk about Big Sean because he was SUPPOSED to be in the same league as Drake, Kendrick, Wale, Wiz Khalifa, J. Cole, etc... but he has never been able to grab fans which is why he's never had a successful single where he was the biggest artist. No I.D. knew what to do with Big Sean & put him in the studio to make bangers so people would know who he at least is & get his name out there cuz cats forget he's been signed to G.O.O.D. since about 2007 & has had several unsuccessful singles that had videos to them with features from the likes of Kanye. Nobody cared about Big Sean when he was dropping those FF mixtapes. Kendrick has solo hits, Wiz has solo hits, Drake has solo hits, J. Cole has solo hits... even Wale is the biggest artist on his biggest hit (Bad ft. Tiara Thomas but nobody knows who she is). Big Sean can't say that...

Even A$ap was able to grab a bunch of cats who followed his A$ap crew like a cult... Big Sean hasn't done that... he took the success of having 3 huge Singles off of his first album where he basically got carried by big name features & thought that meant people cared about HIM which is why when he dropped "Guap" as a Solo Single it peaked at #71 & moved backwards because nobody cares about him like that. He could've dropped "Beware" without Lil' Wayne if he was confident in his own fanbase but theres a reason he ran to get Wayne's name on the song... :mjpls:

Yeah but that's the 1st step. People have to like your singles. Also this album sales are proof that the singles from this album aren't hitting as well. "My Last" was huge in the urban market. "A$$" was massive and "Marvin and C" was big. He had all those hits and the album still didn't Go Gold. So why would "Hall of Fame" do better when these singles aren't hitting the same? Throw in "Mercy" and "Clique" and Sean does have a lot of hit single appearances. But I agree with people, all those songs were anchored by more popular artist.

Cudi, Tyler and Mac didn't have big singles, and still did bigger first weeks, singles aint shyt for album sales unless you have 2-3 big ones these days. Sean just hasn't built a fan base like that, he's targeting the gimmicky fans who jump on fads, similar to 2 Chainz, and it shows.

I don't know what his tour schedule is like but he needs to get an opening spot for a J Cole or Kendrick and try to connect with their fans.

Martyr Sean just underperforming 'out of respect' to his colleagues so their numbers seem more impressive.

The fact that he has singles alone has got him and the fans:

Once Drake drops it'll slide him out of the Top 10 of 2k13... :mjpls:

That...plus the fact that Juicy fukking J has already outsold him overall by their 3rd week, despite having lower first week sales...I'm willing to bet 2Chainz ends up outselling him as well..."Used 2" and "I Do It" will likely be hit singles
