In an interview with DJ Green Lantern, 50 predicted his album would sell between 1500,00-1600 units in its first week. Turns out 50 was right on the mark. Amidst beef with both Rick Ross and Jay-Z, the controversy king sold 161.000 copies out the gate. Placing him at number 5 on the charts. (behind John Mayer, U2, Norah Jones and Casting Crows) Also on the charts in the hip hop world is the god MC Rakim comin g in at #61 with 12,000, Felt (Slug and Murs) slammed into #111 with 7000 units for their tribute album to Rosie Perez. And sadly, Wale is still under 100,00 units with 37,025. However, Jay-Z fell back to #30, selling a meager 1,300,345 units (lol, like we didn't know he was gonna do it) Placing Jay-Z behind the Beatles with 11 number 1 records, the second most number one albums of all time. (The Beatles sit alone and comfortably with a lead that seems pretty much impossible to pass in one lifetime, 22 number 1 albums)
