XXL MAGAZINE REPORTS BISD SALES 150 000-160 000, INCLUDING ITUNES SALES. **411 REPORTS IT'S TECHNICALLY 2 WEEK SALES***

The one day sales number are in and it’s not looking good for rap superstar 50 Cent.

According to trusted industry insider hitsdailydouble.com, Fif’s long delayed fourth solo album, Before I Self Destruct, is projected to sell 150,00 to 160,000 in its first week on the shelves.

If the estimations are correct, this will be the lowest debut week for the G-Unit general. 50 sold 872,000 copies of Get Rich or Die Tryin’ in 2002. In 2004, his sophomore album, The Massacre, rang up over 1.15 million discs and his latest LP Curtis moved close to 695,000 units.

Originally scheduled to drop on November 23 BISD was pushed up to a November 16 date after the album leaked online nearly a month ago.

The album has been available on iTunes since November 9, but, according to Billboard, because of the unique situation Nielsen SoundScan will be including those digital sales as a part of his first week tally. —Max G

Obscure deal between Billboard and labels lets 50 Cent's full week of digital sales be added to his next week sales...

Bon Jovi was the new #1 album this week, but the band could have also had the distinction of topping 50 Cent.

Fiddy's Before I Self Destruct was originally scheduled for release on November 23rd, but the CD was moved up to November 16th after the album leaked online. Interscope Records actually rushed the digital release of the album, too, having it hit iTunes on November 9th.

The 11/9 release made the album eligible for this week's charts, but Interscope asked that Billboard hold the digital sales for a week because of the leak. This falls under a policy that was instituted in 2008 by Billboard, Nielsen SoundScan and the labels.

The first week digital sales will now be added on to the second week sales of Before I Self Destruct to determine its debut chart position on next week's chart.

Billboard is now reviewing if they should continue using this policy.

So you guy only like 50 Cent because he sells/sold well? What kind of bandwagon fans are you guys. I have liked 50's music from day one (back to the Power of the Dollar.) to this day Im a Hustler is my fav 50 song. 50 still puts out good music and all the great free stuff he puts on thisis50.com makes me like and respect him that much more and that is why is I bought 2 copies of BISD, and I may buy another 2 over the weekend.

That being said, just because 50 only sells 150k which is really not that bad of a number in todays market esspecially for an hip hop artist, it will not make me like him any less.

Im Down with Fif and G-Unit no matter what
It doesen't make sense because 50 was #1 on Itunes, he outsold John Mayer and Bon Jovi on ITunes and those guys did/are doing big numbers. I gotta think the numbers will increase, plus remember 50 is doing a couple of instore appearnces on Friday and Saturday which should boost sales.
1 greatest hits album and 50 is of Interscope who I believe is sabotaging him because he is going to be a free agent and if he sold a ton of records right now he would be that much more valuable and Intercope does not want to see that, IMO.
yeah thats what i was thinkin
^_^
haters change "day" to "week" i dont see 50 doin less than 450K first week tbh
lmfao!! iiits weekly predictions based on first day sales, yall niggaz must be knew to hits daily double, they always do this. Why the f*** would john mayer have first day sales of like 300k that would mean hed be doing a million first week and that cant be right lol
it says 150k-160k but they adding the itunes cds to it i'm guessing the official #'s will probably be 220k-315k

and for the record i'm a jay-z fan and BP3 sold 476k in its 1st week just to correct y'all

y'all be hating on other artists that's wrong with hiphop bro jay-z is raw as hell if u take him out the game hiphop will be taking 3 steps back and we all know from plenty websites worldstar hiphop hates 50 and mediatakeout so if they take 50 out the game and g-unit hiphop takin 5 steps back and eminem he is in question depending how he is to deal with every day life we don't so like if em was to retire and nas be acting grumpy lmao so if they retire hiphop would be dead so like us as fans need to stop being dickriders like even doe 50 dnt like cam'ron i still bump cam crime pays was dope i would listen to rick ross but 4 my own sake not 50's i refuse to listen to a guy who rap's the real rick ross life ricky has nice lyrics but he's fake that's why i dnt f*** wit him 50 dnt like nas like but i still f**** wit him basically wat i'm sayin is us as fans don't let people the media or ur fav rapper dictate who u shud listen to lol sum 50's enemies suck like fat joe lol trple c's except ross ja lol the old ja and the old fat joe was hot doe fat joe sucks cause ny hiphop wasn't sellong like the 90's and early 00's so he ran to the south and got wack ja got wack cause he lost his confidence when he lost to 50 that's the truth u can never lose talent if god gave ot to u 50 just went in on him and ja lost his confidence

ps. not a ross fan but to correct y'all Deeper than rap sold 158k 1st week and 391k-400k in u.s. sales and around 500k worldwide

This is the top rappers of NY right here! Respect to 50, Jay, Nas, Dmx, Jada etc., but this is the top 3 that records get played on the radio outside of NY!
