50 Cent's 'Self Destruct' Moves 159K In Opening Week PDF Print E-mail
Wednesday, 25 November 2009 19:54

The official first week numbers for 50 Cent's latest album have surfaced.

According to XXL, Before I Self Destruct sold 159,700 copies in its opening week and landed at No. 5 on the Billboard 200.

This marks the first time in 50's career that he has failed to ship over 500,000 copies in his opening week.  It also ranks as his lowest opening week.

50 has enjoyed stellar first week sales since his official debut in 2003.

Get Rich Or Die Trying scored 872,000 copies, The Massacre cashed in over 1,000,000 copies and Curtis rolled in 691,000  copies.

Before I Self Destruct landed in stores last week. The album features appearances from Ne-Yo, Eminem and R. Kelly.

50's Career
written by Yo, November 25, 2009
To the first 2 dudes.. 50's career has gone up and up and up non stop since he stated. Perhaps not his music career anymore, cause the dude clearly doesnt focus nearly as much on it as he used to. He does the music for fun now. But his career in general is climbing steadily and he's raking in mad cash. Good for him. If I was him I wouldnt care much about the music either. I enjoyed the album though, it had some good stuff, not the best album but it was decent.

crazy how everyone across the net claims to hate 50 and thinks hes garbage, BUT would wake up at 3am just to blog and post hate remarks about him. BISD was above average, and alot of good songs were cut but who else goes and write a movie for their album(i know fabolous had a movie but he had writers) and co develop their second game while recording an album...anyone?

yo the reason why no one bought his shit is cause of what he did to buck an the shit he doin to rick ross nuff said right there. but the nigga has pulled too much bitch ass shit to be respected. then he gon blame his album gettin leaked for bad record sales. EVERYBODY'S album gets leaked. jay, wayne, t-pain all they albums leaked and they still sold over a mil each (in different time periods of course).

biggest flop in the history of hip-hop lmao 50 is done. He could have gave us a classic album but instead we got a compilation of Curtis leftovers, three tracks with stolen instrumentals, some wasted Dre beats and a rejected Bishop Lamont single with the wackest chours R.Kelly has ever done


sorry but this shit is not worth the money

Time to hang it up 50. Sad day for hip-hop...
written by Celo, November 26, 2009
I'm sorry fif but damn. BISD was a failure. Jsut 2 years ago you was still relevant to the game when u was beefin wit Kanye but now i cant even play your album without holdin my head in shame.

Just hang it up 50. Hip-hop no longer needs you. Just get back to exec office and keep countin your money.

shit was terrible. Too many love songs. baby by me? what the hell. U cant be tryna cater to these brawds. Still following that simple ass ABC 123 formula rap like its 1993 again. And half the shit dont even really rhyme right. I got the album on my blackberry mixed in with about 20 other albums on shuffle. Every time one of his songs comes up I skip to the next.

Blame the quality of music, he's had 1 good album. The Massacre only sold big because it was anticipated to be a good album and wasn't. Massacre, Curtis, and BISD were all horrible albums to me.

I have to agree with you Juice...
written by reel talk, November 26, 2009
I totally feel you on the 1 good album thing (and the reasoning). Like I said, he's ain't the same 50 I was listenin' too with the "Guess Who Back" mixtapes and GRODT album...but he's still one hell of an entertainer and smart as hell. That's really all I was saying. I don't see why everyone is hating on 50 like he did something personal to them lol, it's interesting but kinda funny. Everyone's opinion counts tho, the numbers don't lie.

i hate 50 cent and rick ross but i still think it's funny as hell that fifty only sold 1000 more copies than ross did lmao. all that talking shit sayin he'd outsell him by hundreds of thousands and shit. i'm happy they both gettin their bread but let's be real, they both can't make good music imo. fifty got lucky with the first album. when you got dre and em promoting your shit sayin you're next then it's hard to not sell. he had some nice beats on grodt but he's never been lyrical which makes me think that if em and dre want someone to get money they will

"Curtis Jackson, selling 159,700 copies of his latest album in its first week, according to Nielsen Soundscan. It is an intersting number considering that earlier this year, 50's most recent public rival Rick Ross sold only 158,000"

lame
written by Focuzd, November 27, 2009
You talked shit about Triple C's selling that low of an amount of albums. 12k with very little promo or 2 or 3 well marketed mixed tapes and not to mention the worst choice of a radio single (should've been hands down Diamonds and Maybachs Part 2).But you have all these years in the game and have had multiple chart climbing hits yet you failed to sell more in the first week then the man you beefed with to increase album sales rick ross.LMAO. To me 160k for a vet in the game mite as well be those 12k you "cried" about on ya video. They added in your downloads to make the numbers look better wtf? I went in best buy and your cd is collecting dust. They didnt restock its not sellin , no wait let me reiterate that, you aint foolin niggas this time around. Hang it up and do acting,I mean least you'll get payed to be fake!

Not a "W", and Not an "L"
written by ...., November 27, 2009
What matters at the end of the day, for an artist of 50's caliber, is that people are still listening to his music, whether they get it for free or they buy it. At this point, 50 is making music because it's still his passion, not necessarily because he needs it to eat. Imagine if they tallied up how many times a person downloaded his album on Limewire or other P2P websites, that number would be HUGE. So 50 shouldn't worry because he's always relevant, whether he's being hated or liked, whether he's adding to his bank account or not.

When
written by KYblacc, November 27, 2009
Everybodys favorite song off that album from what I gather is Psycho.. Im sure its coz eminems on it and eminem draws his white fan base.. which isnt a Knock coz white folks still buy albums. But anyways i here everybody talk about how hard 50 goes on that song.. one fucking line "Inny Minny Minie Mo, Not your Kinda Fourty FO"...... how is that hard? How is that a hot line? U mean to tell me an 8 yr old couldnt have came up with that? Dude cant spit. Only reason he sold ever was eminems fans and usin the hottest rapper out at the time as diss material. Hes smart but not even a top 50 rapper of all time when it comes to lyrics.

50 album leaked only 2 weeks before release and sold only 159,000 LMAO. The Carter 3 leaked a month before release date and still sold 1milly in the first week. 50 coming up with excuses is pure comedy. ROSS sold more WOW! all the 50 dickriders are gonna start talking bout his overseas sales cause the nigga aint shit in the US where it counts. Fuck a UK whiteboy opinion.

Ok lets talk about these hoe ass songs. song one.. hold me down.. and the nigro is singing.. "i wrote this to keep you close to me, You give me a since of security" ..... ugh.. what is that shit. Then he does that creepy ass Muah muah, I love you.... If u like that shit u are either gay or a brawd that likes negros that look like gorillas. SOng 2. get it hot - This is his newest Disco Inferno song. Very lame. I got swag. Nother song aimed at brawds. I swear it dont sound like hes trying on these songs. (Na, na, na, na na???), Right into baby by me, nother song aimed at brawds with Neyos confirmed gay ass to help out, right into the next song, Do you think about me? I mean god damn I know some RnB groups that dont make this many songs for chicks. Then the last song with R Kelly... Couldve Been you... So mr Dee... Thats 6 or 7 girly ass songs out of 16. Theres no fucking excuse. And dont get me wrong I like when some rappers toss a few RnB or dancie type tracks in the mix, if they are done right. Do or Die with 3A.M. and Twistas get it wet come to mind. But this shit is not only sissyesh but bad. Fucking rap ballads. Ya boys gone soft. IF yawl dudes are listening to this album that much all I can assume is yawl pretendin 50 is singing and rapping these cheesy ass ballads to u.

At least he can now invest the $159k and make twice as much
written by mrjazzpurr26, November 27, 2009
Fif don't sweat about this album your get rich or die tyin sold more then most rappers career will ever sell. He don't need to prove anything to anyone, i think music is he's entertainment and making money is his career. Unlike most of these cats in the game where music is there career. Fif nothing last forever and some of these rapper will or already know that it gonna come for them too. So what your records did sell x about of money these rapper are alway talkin bout how much money they have so be it. Fif you made your mark in history with your first two ablums, now just try to make it to number #1 on the top forbes list this year instead of #5 lol
