Soulja Boy Tell’em debuted on The Billboard 200 sales chart this week, with his third album The DeAndre Way, but the Swag rapper failed to sell as many copies as expected.
Moving close to 13, 400 units in his first week, SB didn’t make a lot of noise on the Nielsen SoundScan report, released today (December 8). In comparison, Soulja’s last disc, 2008’s iSouljaboytellem, sold about 45,500 copies in week one.
Stay tuned to XXLMag.com for the full Billboard 200 breakdown later today. —Elan Mancini

good….like ICE T said…soulja boy single handedly destroyed hip hop….punk…
I guess all the dumb little girls moved on to some one else to misguide them(Probably nicki)……damn SB 5 years ago you was iight but now erbody giving you the cold shoulders…. well don’t worry Nicki is pretty much next after a few months; her buzz is already gone :-)
That Curren$y is crack….better than the last one
But….
Soulja Boy not even from Atlanta.
Also, the STUPIDEST think SB did was try to cross over BACK to appeal to hood niggas. How you gunna sing ‘blowing me kisses’ to white people with 4 tats on your face??
Soulja Hustled backwards. Catering to the hood never progressed anyones sales.
I know yo. Just ask bow wow :-). These hood niggas really don’t buy albums unless it’s some raw str8 up “real ngga” type of shlt. not a poo putt doing lovy songs one min and the next hood shlt
I have nothing against Curren$y and really nothing for Soulja Boy. However, Curren$y no matter how much he sells compared to Soulja Boys current failing album, will not have the lasting impact on pop culture that Soulja Boy did. If he can only compete with SB’s failures then its really not a competition at all. I don’t think we will see anyone learning how to Curren$y. Sorry <3
Probably singlehandedly the dumbest comment I ever read. The only buzz Currensy has is from the internet, and Pilot talk sold more than 10,000 independent, NO RADIO play and I rarely see him on tv. Soulja Boy is all over tv AND radio, with a youtube channel that has like 100s of millions of hits. And yet his album sold 13,400 copies. Seems like the only mark Soulja Boy left on pop culture is how to fall off hard.
yea, sb is the sound of the future. he’s a dope producer, he hasn’t even begun to hit his peak. his new shit is a top 10 ringtone already. SB NEVER made his money off selling albums…kanye paid him 800k to help with dark twisted fantasy.
“Soulja boy is the sound of the future” Thats some dumb shit.He is young yes,but he is already over his peak as his album sales continues to drop from the first record he did.He is losing fans faster then a motherfucker,prolly because of all the dumb ass youtube videos he is releasing,bragging about money and his wack ass chains.Plus the guy is on coke,little girls dont want that.He is done and overwith.And thank god for that
do you suck dick for a livin? souljah boy is a fuckin faggot. he never contributed to hip hop he helped fuckin exploit hip hop with low brain dumb down idiot rap. im not sayin he gotta spit real lyrical shit but at least say somethin that matters. or get the fuckin basics of rappin down pack.
LEAVE MY MAN ALONG!!
how in the hell did SB help kanye on MBDTF??? did i miss sumthing? all kanye tweeted about was him being with SB in the booth wit cudi or sumthin…not MBDTF!!!! or what?
stfu… he didn’t work on kanye’s album, stop talking shit, that little boy ain’t even worthy to work with kanye period.
Ain’t SB on a label? The HOT SPITTA is NOT…

Detroit makes a good point, money is not made by selling albums. Obvs SB is not having a hard time with money he bought the background, sidebar and top banner ad of XXL Mag, that is not cheap. Even though Curren$y has a better number currently he can’t do that, the cash flow or internet savvy just isn’t there.
i dont know if what your saying is a good thing…. He has a major label backing, money, and advertising skills of a top artist yet u cant buy respect and true fans. His name seems to ring bells but is anyone really listening anymore? SB was a gimmick who is only staying a float because other rappers are still giving him a chance and shout outs. if kanye 50 and other dudes didnt have his back he wouldnt be relevant… truth hurts sometime but i’m speakin it. i respect his hustle and what he does as an entertainer… but u cant seriously say the kid has done anything to really push the genre forward with any lasting effect… just my opinion tho
In my opinion this should prove that in order to last in the rap game u need to make timeless music… gimmicks come and go… so i guess its on to the next one… it was only a matter of time…
