Kanye Is Outselling 50 Cent In Preorders

[187Proof]

50 Cent said earlier this week that he's retiring his solo career if Kanye West's new album sells more than his when they are both released on September 11th.

Well, if iTunes pre-orders are any indication, it looks like 50's gonna be gone for good!

Despite the fact that they are both getting comparable promotion in a prime spot of the iTunes store, Kanye's pre-order sales are far outselling 50. Kanye's new album, Graduation, is #3 on the iTunes Top Albums chart without even being released yet! His 1st single, Stronger, is #2 on the iTunes Top Songs chart. Meanwhile, 50's Curtis is way behind at #9, And not even White soul brotha #1 Justin Timberlake has been able to help 50 get his single, Ayo Technology, to higher than #10.

I dont think there is any doubt that Kanye is gonna have the edge in sales and quality. Hes got 2 classics under his belt, and gets play from everybody and they're mother, literally. 50 has 3 singles that have flopped critically and commercially. His album will still sell, but not like Kanye.

i dunno i don't think you can underestimate the quantity of teenagers and teenieboppers that will cop the 50 especially as the jt/timbaland track starts to get spins. still, would be hilllarious if kanye did get close or beat 50 on actual volume. when the massacre dropped 50 had a couple of tracks in heavy rotation (disco inferno, candy shop) that although corny, were signature 50 style. this new single isn't really his kind of record, i'd probably be more inclined to pick up the jt or timbaland albums based on hearing the track than 50's album itself....

i got a feeling kanye is going to outsell 50 because hes making better music and 50 has really lost his fanbase

50 has sold more out of one CD than Kanye West has in both his CDs combined. Hell, GRODT sold more than College Dropout, Late Registration, and Blueprint combined. I think 50 will win. On a side note... PLEASE KANYE, I'M BUYING 2 CDs 'CAUSE WE NEED REAL HIP-HOP TO TAKE OUT 50 CENT!!!

On Amazon.com's Hip-Hop bestsellers list Kanye Jesus is 2nd and fiddy is just 7th. Not looking good for fiddy.

So all the morons who order music online are ordering Kanye? The internet is full of 50 haters. When those junior high white kids get out of school on the 11th, they gonna buy 50's album. Anyone who thinks Kanye even has a chance of out selling 50, is a moron. 50 will double Kanye's sales easily.
