Outkast's Double LP On Pace To Sell 500k In First Week
IP: 4833 6696
In addition to being hailed as one of the best album's of the year, Outkast's sixth album and double CD Speakerboxxx/The Love Below is on pace to move over 500,000 copies in it's first week in stores and is expected to debut at number 1 on Billboard's Top 200 albums chart.
"This album, it captures every aspect of life," Andre 3000 told AllHipHop.com. "I mean it's something you can party to, it's something you can make love to, you can go do a drive-by on someone or you can ride in the car with your mama with some of them."
According to sources, Arista is having slight problems keeping pace with consumers appetites for the long awaited album, which is selling across the country.
"I went to Best Buy to get a DVD and you would have thought there was a dag on riot," one fan told AllHipHop.com "All these people waiting for the stock boy to bring another box of Outkast CD's out!"
The double disc features Andre 3000 in a new incarnation, mostly as an R&B singer, while Big Boi sticks to a rap regiment.
"We just do all kinds of music so it isn't really one type of format we fit in," Dre continued. "If an urban radio station wants to play OutKast songs that's great, but if we create a song and a urban station don't want to play it, hey we can't make them play it."
Dre produced the majority of his disc, "The Love Below" and played most of the instruments, including the keyboards and the majority of drum programming. He also plays guitar on almost every song.
The album is moving on the success of Dre's "Hey Ya" and Big Boi's "The Way You Move."
Because the demand for the album was so great, the album will chart early on BillBoard's R*B/Hip-Hop Album's chart, due to one day sales and street violations, where stores sell the album before the official release date.
Speakerboxxx/The Love Below is priced as a normal CD for a limited time and is in stores now.
