Albamu ya Jay-Z’s ya 4:44 hakufikia mauzo ya platinum; Iliuza chini ya 500,000

Mkali Jay-Z amewaongopea watu kuhusiana na namba ya albamu yake. Hakuna cha kushangaza hapo. Rapa huyo aliongopa kuhusiana na namba ya mauzo yake ya albamu yake kulingana na umri wake kwa sasa.

Kuhusiana na mtandao wa BuzzAngle, Jay-Z’s na albamu yake ya 4:44, iliuza kopi chini ya 500,000 na zile za kudownload.
4:44 haikufikia mauzo ya platinum kutokana na maelezo ya RIAA ya mauzo hayo ya platinum waliyotoa picha mwezi uliopita.
Wapenzi  wa Jay-Z’s mkali huyo albamu yake waliidownload au kusikiliza kupitia mitandao kwa muda mrefu ndani ya wiki ya kwanza lakini kwa hili wametuongopea.
“The fact that 4:44 has sold so much less than 500,000 is startling,” writes Roger Friedman on his Showbiz411 blog.

According to BuzzAngle, 4:44 has sold a total of 264,100 albums. That includes CDs and downloads but not streaming. If you count in streaming, including singles, the number still comes only to 364,000.
This is a far cry from the 500,000 level that the RIAA requires for a gold record, and 1 million copies shipped for platinum. Still, the RIAA awarded Jay Z a platinum album based on private sales through Tidal streaming and direct deliveries to Sprint customers.
