In less than a week, Get Rich or Die Tryin' has turned 50 Cent into a cash cow for his record label.

Get Rich or Die Tryin' will be the top-selling album on next week's Billboard albums chart, moving in excess of 872,000 copies, according to SoundScan figures released Wednesday (February 12). With the tremendous total, the LP is the best-selling debut album since SoundScan started its tracking system in May 1991. Only Snoop Dogg's 1993 debut, Doggystyle, comes close, with more than 802,000 copies sold in its first week.


Congratulations 50 and G-Unit

what an investment £1 million and he pushes more units than most major heavy weights can. remember when master p signed snoop he paid 10 million for a part share of him with deathrow.


iraq would just get annexed by iran


That would be a great solution.  If Iran and the majority of Iraqi's are pleased with it, then why shouldn't they do it?

He's definitely not worth all this fame...but thanks to everyone riding Eminem's nuts (well, at least he's talented), this guy is now up there with Snoop, B.I.G. & 2Pac for highest selling debut by a black artist. Listen, no matter how much you like 50 Cent, you really gotta be ridin his dick to tell me that his name belongs up there with B.I.G., Snoop, whatever... damn, I can't believe this bullshit rapper is so popular. I know a lot of you might disagree, but just answer me honestly, is he REALLY worth becoming the most successful black artist with his debut album?

BIG and Pac's debuts did not sell a lot in their first week out.

I do agree with everything else you said and I thought of that clown before I went to sleep.

His debut Power, wasn't officially released so I guess that's why they consider this his debut.

my mistake... I mistook the B.I.G. (Life After Death) & 2Pac (Makaveli) first week sales for debut albums, since these two albums sold about 700-750K in their first week.

oh yeah, I hope the clown messed with your head... just a little bit  ;D

Yup. Major label debut is probably what they mean.
I bought both "Power of the dollar" & "Guess who's back" in Norwegian record-stores..

In comparison they did not have "Ghetto Heisman" and Nate Dogg's "Music & Me" came several months after the release.
Jayo Felony albums is out of the question..
