Amaru/Interscope/Death Row/Whoever need to get all his albums certified again, and then we can know. They need to certify his albums anually. I don't think they've done it since 98 (except with each new album)
I dont if his albums sell enough to be certified annually, but they've definatly gone up since 98'.
I talked to a rep from Koch when I worked at a music store, and brought me a statement showing that AEOM had sold 5.44 million units. Now, this is a double cd, so that would be 10.88 total, meaning the album was near 11 million. And this was in 2003!! Shits gotta easily be at 11 mill now.
my guess is that his sales look something like this:
2Pacalypse Now - platinum, maybe a mill and a half
Strictly - last certified platinum, but could be double platinum by now or very close
Thug Life - probably almost platinum
Me Against The World - this has definatly gone up, probably somewhere between 3-4 million sold as of now.
All Eyez on Me - as mentioned above, Diamond. Probably 11 mill.
Makaveli - this one im not as sure about, because if yall remember it was out of print for a couple years. But when they brought it back, it became an instant top back catalog seller. Probably 5 mill and some change.
RUSD - another album that was only certified once, and right after the albums release. Was at 4 million, but this gotta at the 5 million mark by now.
Greatest Hits - Consistant seller since 98', and probably only rivaled by AEOM. Im guessing this album is Diamond too, though probably still behind AEOM.
Still I Rise - This was at 1.7 million in 2001.....gotta be double plat by now.
UTEOT - 4 million....most sources have it at 3 million but this one has definatly gone up as Soundscan reported as having 2 million UNITS sold (thus making it 4x platinum).
Better Dayz - just over 3 million, about 3.2 million to be exact.
Loyal To the Game - platinum, about 1.3 mill exactly.
^^^most of these are just rough estimates but are probably pretty close to the actual numbers. So, he's at around roughly 45 million.....thats almost as much as Eminem, 50 Cent, and Jay Z COMBINED
