damn over 1.1 million in the first week, but the sales are most likely going to drop
dramatically once they realized how much the album sucks. It will happen by the second week if not definitely during the third week.

I wonder what the second week sales will be. After people actually listed and word of mouth starts to spread. it'll probably be a big decrease. The album is ok but nothing special. I figured he would do big numbers due to all the drama.
I love the way haters come up with excuses,good lawd! give the Nigga propz.

All of those albums either had a hot fisrt single or alot fo controversy surrounding them. Everyone just start controversy from now on to sell shit.

None of this is really hard to believe.  I was  at BArnes and Noble(The book store) yesterday and they were selling it I was...surprised to say the least although they do have a CD section :-\

50 is officially bigger than Em at this very moment. Em only pushed 710,000 with Encore in it's 5 days.




Encore did 711,000 in 3 days, not 5. It did another 800,000 the next week, and hit 2 platinum by the week after that. Eminem is still the proven franchise of the group. 50 still has to prove himself with this album. Most likely it will go far, but there is a chance that it dies out. Game sold 600,000 in his first week, but it dropped drastically every week since that. Let's not forget how cheap the 50 Cent CD was in the first week. Price has a lot to do with it. Look at Thriller; when it was $4 between 82 and 84 it sold nearly 20 million. When the price went up it didn't go 21 platinum for years, then slowly reached 26 over the entire decade of the '90s. Now look at AC/DC's Back in Black; it went platinum in it's first year, 5 platinum by 1985, another 5 platinum by 1990, then sold another 10 million copies between '90 and 2004. World wide it should catch up and surpass Thriller. One is an album with a great promotion and an even better price, the other is an album with a great reputation and a lot of word of mouth and influence. It takes longer for an album like that to sell, but it sells all the same. I hardlt doubt Massacre will grow over the years. It's best sales will be in the next couple weeks. Although Encore is the exact same kind of album thus far, Em has hit over 4 platinum 5 times, twice he went over 8 platinum. 50s got a long wat to go before he becomes the franchise. Of course if 50 had signed with Puffy or Rough Rider, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. I think it's funny how he gloats about making the Game a star when he was created by Eminem the same way.

^^^lol this board gettin filled with these lil white em groupies

man some of y'all jus gotta give props where its due, million records sold.....nuff said

50 today is def mo "hot" than eminem.........eminem aint had a real big buzz in ages, and when just loose it came out, it got worse. face it, 50 runnin things currently, he got 3 singles in top 5....every g-unit member hit platinum

everyone be buyin 50's record,blackbitches,white bitches, white kids, hood niggaz.....EVERYONE!

this album selling so much isnt bad at all for hiphop......encore selling 4 million is....but when your already a proven hitmaker i guess i cant hate to much........but 50 since grodt has been makin way more noise than eminem......

50 runnin the charts, theres no denyin it, check the numbers

why y'all lil white dorks who be pissed eminem aint 50 numbers at the moment stop talkin shit and give props where they should be given

by the way, i hear some of y'all been sayin 50's cd wack, but since grodt was heat, i copped my copy today!

congrats to 50 on hittin the million mark

and westvet is spot on, 50 is bigger than em right now
