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.

I only like two (2) songs on Snow Mans TM:103 and this isn't one of those two! This song is just slow, dull and f****** boring! Almost fell asleep watching this!
