WEST IS BEST!
50 Cent and Chesney Score Top 3, Disney Has Two in Top 5, But Kanye's Total is Year's Best
September 18, 2007
The people have spoken, and it’s Graduation day for IDJ’s Kanye West.
In the much-celebrated battle between the dapper rapper and Shady/Aftermath/ Interscope gangsta icon 50 Cent, West wins going away, with a first-week total of 930k that tops his own Late Registration, which bowed at #1 in August 2005 with 860k in sales.
Fiddy has nothing to be ashamed of, as Curtis tallies 660k, which represents the second-largest one-week total of the year, topping Linkin Park’s 625k back in May.
SBMG Nashville’s Kenny Chesney doesn’t exactly have to go hat in hand, either, with an impressive 400k tally for Just Who I Am: Poets and Pirates, which would have been an easy #1 in any other week but this one.
Those three together represent sales of about 1,000 copies less than the entire 200 best-selling albums totaled last week.
