Iggy Azalea didn't hit the scene with a big bang, but she is gradually climbing up that success ladder. According to Media Traffic, her debut album, The New Classic sold 20, 000 copies globally this week, to now make the album's worldwide sales stand at a grand total of 430,000 copies sold so far.

These numbers shouldn't be confused with national sales. In the U.S, the album is still at a grand total of 308,000 copies sold so far. This means that the album has sold 122,000 copies internationally so far since it was released in April.

50 Cent's fifth album, Animal Ambition sold 14,000 worldwide this week. The album is now at a three week total of 104,000 copies sold globally. These numbers shouldn't be confused with national sales; in America, the album has sold 74,000 copies so far. His next album, Street King Immortal is dropping in September. I am sure that one would sell a little better than this one. This album was initially planned to be a mixtape.

This means the album sold 18,000 copies Internationally its first week, as it has been recorded that it sold 47,000 copies in America alone. 50 Cent is definitely nolonger a top seller anymore, and probably will never sell platinum again. But, he leveraged his past success to build himself a thriving business empire, so he would be okay.

This album (Me. I Am Mariah...The Elusive Chanteuse), is Mariah Carey's 13th studio album, and it dropped last week Tuesday. After a full week in stores, it sold 95,000 copies globally. This numbers should not be confused with what the album sold in America; nationally, it sold 58,000 copies first week. What this means is that the album sold 37,000 extra copies internationally. These global numbers are better to look at than the national numbers, which a lot of people have complained about. They can't believe someone of Mariah's status would sell that low. But, really, when did it all become a numbers game? Of cos artists have to be successful, but people make it seem like the quality of an album should be judged by the quantity sold.

Official First Week Global Sales of Michael Jackson's Xscape Album

The album is MJ's second posthumous album since his death in 2009, and it is doing pretty good in the sales department. After a full week in stores, the album sold 365,000 copies worldwide. This is more than two times what it sold first week in America...which was 157,258 copies first week.

Eminem's 'The Marshall Mathers LP 2' at 3.5 Million Copies Sold Worldwide

Yea, Eminem keeps winning. He has always been in a lane of his own, and he still is. One of the few rappers (if not the only one) that can still sell over 2 million copies of his album. He doesn't need no surprise dates, or no deals with electronic companies to boost his sales...he just drops, and the whole world stops to listen. His 7th studio album, The Marshall Marthers LP 2 has sold a total of 3.5 million copies to date worldwide, and it is still selling.

This sales numbers should not be confused with national sales; in America, the album is at a total of 1,850,000 sold, and would hit double platinum status very soon. But globally, the album sold 70,000 this week to put it at a global total of 3,500,000 sold.

Jay Z's "Magna Carta Holy Grail" Fourth Week Global Sales

The album's sales jumped this week. Magna Carta Holy Grail sold 102,000 copies globally in its fourth week in stores. This is really great for Jay Z, and the best worldwide sales of any Jay album so far. It sold 77k last week, and 102k this week; I guess the Picasso Baby video is responsible for the increase. He is also currently on the Legend of the Summer world tour with Justin Timberlake, so I am sure that also helped boost his sales this week.

Please, do not confuse these numbers with national sales. The album sold 62,000 copies this week in America, and is now at a 4 week total of 797,000 copies sold nationally. But worldwide, it sold 102,000 copies this week, and is now at a 4 week global total of 1,046,000. Whoa! That's great. Platinum sold worldwide, minus the one million digital copies Samsung bought before the album dropped.

Jay Z's "Magna Carta Holy Grail" 3rd Week Global Album Sales

This is going to go down as one of Jay Z's most successful album in the last 10 years; the promo for the album is really helping out with a lot of of international sales for Jay. Magna Carta Holy Grail sold 122,000 copies globally this week, and is now at a worldwide total of 944,000 in 3 weeks. That is just 56,000 copies shy of a platinum status in worldwide sales.

This is Jay-Z's biggest selling album outside the U.S his whole career. He has never had a big presence in the international market with his album, till Magna Carta Holy Grail. I think the deal with Samsung really helped him expand his market. In the U.S, the album sold 77,000 copies this week, and is at a total of 735,000 sold.
