| | MTV News - Got Charts? Nas Lookin' To Grow Legs; Jay-Z Unplugs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) |
 | | Despite its relative newness, the LP is averaging just a little better than 2,000 copies a week, as opposed to Illmatic and It Was Written, which are both still selling at a catalog clip of more than 3,000 copies a week even though they've both been out for more than five years. |
 | | Regardless, Clapton's Unplugged was instrumental in re-energizing the guitarist's career after a relatively rum run during the '80s, and after climbing to #1 in March 1993, the album proved to record labels that audiences were willing to buy such stripped-down music en masse. |
 | | According to SoundScan, the next five biggest-sellers in the "Unplugged" series are: Nirvana's MTV Unplugged in New York at 4.12 million, Rod Stewart's Unplugged and Seated at 3.33 million, Carey's Unplugged EP at 2.70 million, the 10,000 Maniacs' MTV Unplugged at 2.18 million and Alice in Chains' MTV Unplugged at 1.23 million. |
