LIL MAMA DISASTER!!! THE GIRL ONLY SOLD 19,000 ALBUMS!!!!


 







May 08, 2008. There looks to be another casualty of the music biz. MediaTakeOut.com just caught wind that Lil Mama's debut album VYP: Voice of the Young People sold only 19,000 units. Given the chick's popularity that's a disgrace.

We gotta blame this one on bad promotion. Especially since the label spent almost NO MONEY on internet promotion ... Get with it music execs, it ain't 1999 anymore.

Anyway ... Shout out to Lyfe Jennings whose new album Lyfe Change sold a very respectable 80,000 units.

    Lil' Mama is not considered 'popular' among mainstream media. She had two songs and her stint on the MTV show with dancers.
    I STILL say she needs to switch up the way she talks because she comes off straight ignorant to some.

    this came as no surprise!! To me she really hasn't shown talent. She has guts to do wat she does bcuz the music biz is not easy getting in to but hopefully she has a plan B. if not she shoudl finish school if she hasnt and see if her talent grows into something else. And definitely not the voice of the young ppl. Only the voice of some ppl(but idk who they are)

    So let me get this straight MTO. When Kelly Rowland sold 80,000 units yall said she flopped. But when Lyfe sells 80,000 it's "very respectable." I like him and Kelly but why are the numbers valued differently for the artists?

    Oh well...you know wut, I actually feel bad for the girl. She did her thing as far as promotion goes but like the other young chick, Tiffany Evans she didn't sell many albums. Both these girls are very positive and their music is as well. Unfortunately sex sells. I mean look at the numbers that Ciara did when she first came out. She was the same age as these girls w/catchy hooks BUT she brought that sex appeal. If Tiffany & Lil Mama wanna make it in this biz I'm not sayin they should go all out w/the booty shorts or wuteva but they might wanna consider adding a lil sex appeal to their swag, especially Lil Mama.

    crazyass
    I was just thinking yesterday how difficult it is for female rappers after catching a few minutes of Ms rap supreme. Even the most popular female rappers in the business in the past few years don't even sell anywhere near gold status(500K) much less platinum(1 million units). There's no love for them out there anymore. Concerts is the only way for hem to make money now or perhaps signing with labels like Koch and other independents where they can make $5-7 per cd. Otherwise there's no hope for them to sell records(cd's). Sad but that's real.

THEY AINT GOT NO JOBS, THEY AINT GOT NO CASH AND THEY AINT GOT NO CREDIT CARD TO BUY MUSIC ONLINE OR NO CAR TO GET TO THE STO (LOL).

    I have to agree with what a few of yall said..shes targeting a market that has no money to buy CDs..they download music for free because their parents aint giving them $17.99 for a damn CD..especially with times getting tougher and gas prices on the rise..buying music is an unnecessary luxury, unfortunately..and someone mentioned earlier that she had Chris Brown AND T-Pain on her single and still couldnt sell records? those are two of the hottest people in the game right now..even they couldnt help her! shes gonna get dropped from her label after this disaster

    I think MTO blasted Kelly Rowland for poor sales b/c of her popular status. Lyfe Jennings doesn't have the notariety that Kelly does, but since Kelly can't sell, I'd say they're on the same level... : )
