Oh thatboyluke, you wanna talk 1st and second albums huh? How about the fact then that pink Friday has sold 1.8 million in less than 2 years whereas Hardcore has sold 1.4 million since it was released way back in 1996?! Yea, I know it was certified double platinum in 2001 nearly 5 years after its release date. That's because 2 million copies were sent to stores - not sold. And as for sophomore releases Roman Reloaded had bigger opening numbers than Notorious K.I.M. And that was released back when people actually bought albums!
