Wale Moves 28k his first week: Manager says he was under-shipped

Yes and once again welcome to the downfall of being signed to a record label. This is a perfect example of why people can not depend on a record label. I actually listened to Wale's album and I must say it's one of the best freshman albums I have heard in a long time. According to his management, CD was under-shipped. Check it out...

Via XXL:

XXLMag.com spoke with Wale’s manager, Daniel Weisman, who claims that the label under shipped the disc to stores, much like what happened to fellow “Class of 09″ MC Asher Roth. ”Wale’s the type of artist who is bigger than the metrics (radio) say he is,” Weisman said. “That puts the label in a tough position in terms of physical distribution and because of twitter we are able to hear direct feedback from the fans about the problems they had actually finding the CD. But 64% of Wale’s sales came from digital outlets which makes sense for Wale. It’s a testament to Interscope and their confidence in Wale’s brand that they put the record out without a big single.”
