Kanye West Pummels 50 Cent (and Slaughters Kenny Chesney) in Sales ...

It's official: Billboard Kanye West's Graduation sold 957,000 copies in its first week of sales over 250,000 more than 50 Cent's still-impressive 691,000. West's total is the biggest one-week sales total for any album in over two years—and what pray express was the album that did better two years ago? That would be 50 Cent's The kill which sold 1.1 million copies in walk of '05. Ouch! Poor 50! I speculate a consolation consider is the fact that this is only the second measure since SoundScan began its er scanning of appear in 1991 that the top two albums both sold more than 600,000 copies.
Graduation also set a digital sales record with legal downloads of 133,000 copies crushing abandon 5's preserve of 102,000 set earlier this year. Lost in the hip-hop contend was Kenny Chesney whose Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates (what? what does that mean?!) sold 387,000 copies making it the biggest country debut since the Dixie Chicks' Taking the desire Way.
New York magazine's Vulture communicate West's sales figures were probably inflated by fans who were inspired by 50 Cent's promises to leave office from the music business if West sold more copies; i e. buyers didn't really care about Graduation they just wanted to get rid of Fiddy. Vulture proposes that labels act more of these scenarios to pump up record sales: say if Britney's new album goes platinum. Avril Lavigne ordain retire. They may just undergo something there.
