Ross' fifth studio album God Forgives, I Don't, released yesterday via Def Jam.

According to HDD (via HHNM), Ricky Rozay's latest offering is slated to sell between 200,000 and 220,000 copies in its first week. The sales puts the album on track for a No. 1 debut. The project features the singles "3 Kings" featuring Dr. Dre and Jay-Z, as well as "Touch'N You" featuring Usher, "Hold Me Back" and "So Sophisticated" featuring Meek Mill.

Ross' last album, 2010's Teflon Don, bowed at No. 2 on the charts with 176,300 copies sold. It marked his first album that failed to enter at the top of the chart.

It's early but I feel like if true, it's a bittersweet win.. sure he wanted to move Alot more than that

b@squ1@t redux

he'll never move more than that because the crackas wont let him

billy roberts is for the streets, the HBCU's and the halfway-houses

his skin tone frightens the pig-skinned peckerwood and only serves as a reminder of the caucasoids fear of the black man

sure,...wiggers love him and the wigger syndicate on the IC has taken a liking but wiggers as a whole dont purchase records they purchase the burned version of the cd that people like me sell to them for $5

however...the retired wigger community is more likely to purchase the album according to my extensive research

I HOPE HE GETS ATLEAST 200,000 nigga is selling his cd for 5 bucks this oh bitch ass nigga tryin to go plat but music sucks so much that even at 5 dollars a nigga dont want it

Bittersweet is a good way to put it. Ross always moves within 150k-220k on every album and usually hits gold or higher. Yes, Ross is probably at his peak in popularity but these sales numbers match up and show his fanbase has stayed steady. However, with Ross having such a huge buzz im sure he wishes it was higher as well. I havent checked the album out yet but I dont think i'd call these numbers a flop yet.

Good for him. Wonder If Def Jam calls this a win as far as the #s go, Im sure it is for the album being #1.

Lol @ Hassan trollin hardbody....any way I expected it to sell around 400-500 with the buzz he had and features. Nas didn't sell much less and his lead single was social conscious

Ross hasn't mastered the art of the successful commercial single yet, that's why he hasn't crossed over.

He barely outsold Wale, Wale was about to walk in the MMG office on some i need a raise shit. lol
