Yeah Kanye beat 50 first week, but 6 months from now, who do you think will of sold more world wide and in the US? First week sales are over-rated, it's longevity, if you can stay in the top 20 for a few months, you'll sell triple what you sold in your first week.
the only reason for this is because most the continent can't speak english so they can't actually listen to how shit 50's lyrics are! doesn't anyone else think that? do you honestly think he would sell so much if it wasn't for the formula music video's and the marketing and promotion.

True that
Unfortunately the first week sales (just like the movies) has become the measuring stick and standard for the music industry.... Remember when EPMD said, "30 days later, the LP went Gold, so what chu sayin?".... that was definitely a different time.
