1872 week would be 36 years. LOL

I certainly think the 100,000 and 1,000,000 are sales numbers (i.e. the threshold each has met). Don't know the parentheses as of yet,

For those of us outside of the loop.. what is classics going to be?

Perhaps some kind of ranking? e.g., sales? #records_sold (#sales ranking)

I haven't figured out how to find a sales ranking yet.

Maybe though it took this classics album 36 years to reach 100k sales

Da Brat works for the 1,000,000. Flaming Lips works for the 100,000 (in 2002, the figure offered on Wiki.) everything I think of for the () doesn't pan out.

Flaming lips and Da Brat

How about an MC Lyte exclusive to go along with that Da Brat just because I need VMP to do some MC Lyte.

Need a ruff neck! Hey!

I think whoever said it on Reddit is right and the second number is just how many years (in weeks) it took to reach those numbers. Wikipedia says that in 2002 (3*52=156) it had sold 100,000 and RIAA says Funkdafied went platinum in 1995 (1*52=52).

Edit:

So, based on the edited clue. 156 weeks = 3 years and based off the wiki it took until 2002 to hit 100k and The Soft Bulletin was released in 1999. Da Brat was a 1M seller in 1 year so I think we can call this one...

Essentials = The Soft Bulletin

R&HH = Funkdafied

Lol, should have read the other thread first.

I bet you a hundred bucks Storf accidentally hit 3 and 6 instead of just three when he was calculating the weeks on his num pad.

 

[NewsFedora]

Wrap it up, boys. We got this one.

The funny thing is this is likely what happened but the fact the the flaming lips formed in 1983 which is 36 years ago. It also worked for a clue too.

Oh yeah, if they didn't change it to 156 that would have been the best guess for sure. Quite a coincidence.

Yaaaaaas so happy we are getting Da Brat’s Funkdafied

I would be very on board with this!

I would also love an Isis (aka - Lin Que) exclusive, particularly the 1990 album Rebel Soul.
For the record, I couldn't remember the name of the music video that I used to see on Yo MTV Raps back in '91 and it took me forever to locate. Might I recommend NOT Googling "Isis video" or "Isis music video" because... well... just don't.

Reminds me of the story of the guy who got the name of his favorite metal band tattooed on him. That "Isis" tattoo did NOT age well
