Kanye West US sales rocket

Kanye West’s new album Graduation has sold almost 1m copies in the US in its first six days of release, the highest six-day total in more than two years.

 

Graduation, West’s third album sold 957,000 in the US during its first six days, far ahead of its much-hyped chart rival, 50 Cent’s Curtis, which has sold a nonetheless impressive 691,000 copies in the US during the same period.

 

In the UK, Graduation sold 84,611 copies in its first week of release to debut at number one, a feat it looks certain to repeat in the US albums charts.

 

Ironically, the US total for Graduation is the largest by any album since 50 cent’s own The Massacre, which sold 1.1m copies in its opening week in March 2005.

thanks ^_^

 

very impressive for both...but Kanyes not that great ;) :lol: bet he wishes he beat 50s record of 1.1 mill but that will just give him something else to moan about -_-

I think they're excellent sales now. ^_^ Especially considering the impact illegal downloading has grow over the past 2 years.

Can I say...

 

Why is the whole world getting into a tissy over two of the most overated, useless acts ever to surface from that hiphop breeding scumhole of the Billboard charts? :wacko:

 

I bet both albums are disgusting.
