Wale Debut At #2 On Billboard

If it weren’t for that blastid Bieber, Wale’s Ambition would’ve debuted at #1 on Billboard. Still, sitting at #2 with 164k sold is nothing to be upset about!

  9. @tone; 97% isn’t even logic to 150k+ units.

  11. Wale is not my fav rapper by a long shot but he may have the best joint of the year:

    Ambition ft Meek and Rawse

    Not enough praise for that tune.

  12. Congrats Wale!
    I agree, Ambition is one of the best songs in a while, its just one of those classic-type songs you don’t get tired of playing. I really have grown to love Slight Work as well. Double M Genius and Focused are some other great songs as well. I’m not trying to be like every other Cole Stan out there but I would take Sideline Story over Ambition as full projects. WTT had some good tracks as well. Hoping Take Care won’t disappoint as well as Wizard whenever that drops.

  14. J Cole sold 220 on a ROC NATION , tour wit Rihanna .videos in mtv and massive airplay on radio.the album delayed 38372848624 times before the release

    Wale made 160 on MMG , on your SOLO TOUR . no videos in mtv and no heavy radio airplay .no album delay .

    wale wins

  15. It seems Ricky really is the BAWSE of the pop scene right now. Turning one of the most unmarkettable MC’s in the game into a genuine mainstream artist. It’ll be interesting to see what he does with Meek and Pill, who are both arguably even more unmarkettable than Wale.

  16. Having said that a certain Drizzy is set to crush everything quite soon.

  17. “…if your message ain’t shit, fuck the records you sold ’cause if you go platinum, it’s got nothing to do with luck, it just means that a million people are stupid as fuck.”

  18. his new album was shit, youd think being on MMG he’d make his songs catchy to make up for the fact that they have no lyrical content any more…bait > anything on the album

  19. Congrats to Wale and the MMG camp. He worked hard for those 150k, hopefully this pushes him to more quality. BTW Drake gonna sell ATLEAST 400k units first week with Take Care. Hate it, Despise it whatevr. Im taking bets

  23. It sucked, he sold himself out….its a sad site to see to sell yourself out like that for money. Wale will never be the same

  24. Shout out to Wale for a good first week. For those who feel the need to hate, maybe one day you’ll find the courage to follow your own ambitions instead of crabbing at someone else.

  25. I don’t think it matters whether Wale sold out or not. My reactions to his position on the billboard charts: http://austinwnewton.wordpress.com/2011/11/09/wales-ambition-is-2-on-billboard-is-this-the-success-he-wanted/
