So who’s winning the sales battle between Kanye West and 50 Cent?
According to billboard.com, SoundScan shows West’s “Graduation” is the front-runner so far, with 437,000 copies sold on Day 1, followed by 50 Cent’s “Curtis” with 310,000 sold as of Wednesday morning.
Kenny Chesney’s release trails the rap superstars’, selling 107,000 copies so far.
But the race isn’t over yet, and 50 Cent’s word is still on the line.
When word first came out that Kanye would be dropping his release Sept. 11, the day already claimed by 50 Cent, Fif said he would change his musical aspirations if Kanye sold more.
“I’ll write music and work with my other artists, but I won’t put out anymore solo albums,” he said.
We’ll see, Fitty. We’ll see.
