POPSIKE IS KILLING MY RECORD BUYING EXPERIENCE!

Why can't these Turkish Terrorists destroy this site instead of the funk45forum?

You do know your front page is totally hacked too, right?

Oh, ok, my bookmark was still bringing up a 404 ERROR page, but
that must be because you fixed the hack - by typing it in
and then changing the bookmark it now works fine.

You ever find out who hacked you? It was some nasty shit!

Popsike is invaluable. People using it as a price guide is kinda misguided though.

I've pointed to SoundScan numbers in exactly one context on this board: Young Phonics' claim that the Dangerdoom album was "much more relevant" than Bun B's.

Soulhawk

oh yes, I remember seeing that pager rager - how did that turn out anyway?

Bun B's album went gold but, despite the ten extra copies that Young Phonics purchased with money borrowed from his mom in order to "prove a bully from the internet wrong," as well as the efforts of cartoon nerds worldwide, Dangerdoom failed to hit 100K.

I don't want to be a killjoy but I found that many who post on the messageboards for major rappers are often quoting those soundcan numbers. Make of it what you wish.

Not that I have any stake in that particular argument, but aren't the numbers always going to be lopsided when comparing comercial music with underground music by way of soundscan?

you can't be serious, you dare discount Danny's argument?

By the way Hillary Duff's greatest hits outsold Bun B's last album ensuring its place in the streets hall of fame

which one was underground & which was commercial again?

Last I heard (about a month ago), Dangerdoom had done about 140k worldwide. I haven't seen anything official which confirms this, though.

You think with all those sales he'd have enough money to go & get Rick Rock to make him a decent beat.

I'm wondering the same thing.

120K of which were in countries that do not matter.

from the amount of press inches Dangerdoom got, you'd think it was outselling fiddy cent.

Thats the wrong sound, brohagon

Not to get back to the original topic or anything, but does anyone have a contact email for popsike? (besides the black hole one on the site).

I wanna know if they'd make the database available directly. I want Mobile Popsike for my pda. Since its not like they make money via the site, they wouldn't be against this right?

If they are....does anyone have any good ideas on how to download the information? I can write a program to parse the output of a search, and dump that into a local database. But getting popsike to output EVERYTHING with one search is difficult.

anyone?
