Inspired (nh) by Atmosphere's new double EP thread.
Across all genres and sub-genres, who is selling music at an indie level rivaling Atmosphere?
Which indie rap acts are REALLY selling records?

I have seen Soundscans showing the last 2 Atmosphere releases selling 140+ at the time. I don't think anyone else is really doing that. I think even Tech N9ne has dropped off. He might sell in a few months what Atmosphere did in a week.
Though times change fast, and who really knows even if Atmosphere will continue to do the numbers they have.
I guess I forgot about ICP, who were mentioned. I can't really think of anyone else. No one really sells on a major level these days, let alone indie.

he's great.

Also, yeah he puts on a good show. Budo knows like 30 different instruments.
ICP sorta cheats when it comes to their record sales. Somehow, they've managed to brainwash their fanbase into becoming collectors of everything they put out. In the case of album releases, they make multiple versions, having multiple artworks or included dvd's for their cds.
So, what reads on paper as four albums sales, usually is one juggalo purchase.

I believe this is called marketing. I tried to find a way to say that without sounding like a dick, I gave up.sleazy_j wrote:ICP sorta cheats when it comes to their record sales.
