50 cent talks about the 150k BISD first week sales.
'Normally known for his aggressive promotions and grandiose sales of his albums, 50 Cent has been unusually quieter for the release of his fourth studio release, “Before I Self Destruct.”
Speaking to BET about Hits Daily Double’s projections that “Before I Self Destruct” is projected to sell between 150,000 and 160,000 copies, 50 seemed far from concerned.
“Well, the reports from Hits Daily Double, I don’t actually know what to anticipate from the actual sales of this project,” 50 told BET. “It’s obvious, the project just came out a month earlier than what was actually anticipated.”
“The actual project is arguably my best work, to have the general public respond the way they’ve responded to it,” 50 continued. “I haven’t heard anything negative about my choices artistically, so if I was in the space where I absolutely needed finances from the actual sales of the record, it might mean something, but if it offers the material that I can go out and perform and make everyone enjoy themselves as much as I enjoyed myself making it, Ill be happy with it.”
50 Cent’s first two albums, 2003’s “Get Rich Or Die Tryin’” and 2005’s “The Massacre” sold 872,000 and 1.14 million copies respectively, while his 2007 album “Curtis” sold 691,000 copies in its first week.'

Honestly, blaming the leak is pathetic, EVERYONES album leaks nowadays - i had Carter 3 a month before and it sold over a million! People just weren't interested in him anymore, don't call me a hater...i bought a copy of BISD.
