Simple math will tell you that Jones sold more than just about anybody in the Top 500 indie albums have sold TOTAL. He's outselling Brooks & Dunn, Brook Hogan, and Little Big Town. You have to be an idiot or a flat out hater not to see how tremendous that is. No major label buying spins, no nothing. You simply don't see shyt like that independently outside of Lil Jon. EVER.
