Tupac in the Billboard books

[Norwegian]

This is taken from The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits & Top Pop Albums 1955-2001 Billboard. I have scanned the Tupac parts.

Don't forget to zoom in so you can see the text more clearly.

Still I Rise never went Platinum? Because there is no platinum symbol beside it.

Yes. This book was released in 2002. So Still I Rise probably went double platinum after the book was released.

I thought people would find this more interesting. Have you guys seen it before. I know people can find out about album sales other places than the billboard books but... ahh forget it..

I thought MATW sold more than 2 mill becouse R U Still Down sold over 4 mill.

u lost me. record sales dont always reflect the quality of the music, eg Get rich or die tryin 8/9 platz, lol

and MATW was a single disc, had it been a double album it would have been 4x plat just like RUSD

I've never heard of that movie he was apparently in. I saw all of his movies, never heard of that one. Any info?

It's a John Candy movie. He performs in it with Digital Underground. But his voice is dubbed over or something. I haven't seen it.
