Goodfellas was met with commercial success, debuting atop the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and number two on the Billboard 200 (behind only NSYNC's No Strings Attached), with first-week sales of 139,000 copies in the US. The album was supported by two singles: "Wobble Wobble", which peaked at number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Hot Rap Singles, and "Whodi". Planning of the album dates back to 1997, as promotional materials can be found in the liner notes of 1997 No Limit releases. Goodfellas received gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on August 29, 2000.[2]
