It would be funny as fuck, to see 50 come at number 3.
Def Jam has done a way better job but Interscope never did shit before too. 50 always had to generate its own buzz and like I said, back in May, the push back was the biggest mistake he has made in his career.Push back = flop
^ thats not his fault. Interscope can't expect him to do EVERYTHINGThat would be crazy if 50 came in 3rd.
"Billboard has learned that today's SoundScan Building Chart indicates first-day sales of 437,000 for West's "Graduation," 310,000 for 50 Cent's "Curtis" and 107,000 for Chesney's "Just Who I Am: Poets and Pirates." The Building Charts offer an indication of how races shape up each week for SoundScan's final charts, which post projected national sales each Wednesday morning, extrapolated from a panel of merchants that represents more than 90% of the U.S. music market."

I think it really just comes down to the fact that Kanye's got the hotter single right now, whereas 50 has had six which were all unsuccessful by his standards. Granted, 50's also pissed off a lot of the heads, but that wouldn't be a factor for the white girls if he had a hot single, and he just...doesn't.
