Here's How Many Albums Tupac Sold After His Death

In the immortal words of Dave "Tupac" Chapelle: "The girl in the miniskirt has bad taste because her shirt don't match. And there's a puddin' stain on the back. What the f*ck is that? It might be doo-doo." He wrote that song a long time ago, adding an apocryphal installment to a catalog of what some might call the dopest songs ever written. Chapelle's hilarious parody alludes to a longstanding belief that Tupac never died. But even if the late rapper could accurately proclaim, "I'm not alive!" as Chapelle does, his music has taken on a life of its own.

Biography writes that seven of Tupac's eleven Platinum albums were posthumously released. Per the Washington Post, the week after his 1996 murder saw 67,000 album sales. Rolling Stone reported in 2001 that his album Until the End of Time went triple Platinum, placing his total sales at the time at $33.5 million. Since then, that number has surpassed 75 million, meaning he's sold well over 40 million albums since his death.
