50 CENT'S fourth album, BEFORE I SELF DESTRUCT has reportedly landed at the number 1 spot on the digital store, itunes. The album is moving digital units, i am happy for dude. I am always happy for anybody that is making money in this recession.
Okay, that apart, i would like to predict what the actual physical copies of the album would sell when it hits stores next week tuesday, on the 16th. From my analysis, REAKWON'S album, ONLY BUILT FOR CUBAN LINKS, was ahead of JAY-Z'S BLUEPRINT 3 at itunes, but when the albums dropped physically, jay sold over 400k and rae sold a whopping 86k. I am not dissing my nigga rae in anyway, i am just trying to state a point. When you are talking digital, you know anybody can buy from any part of the world at the exact time it goes on sale, but physical sales don't work like that.
50 has a lot more fans internationally than in AMERICA at this point in his career, so it is only natural that he sells more internationally, so if you ask me what i think he would sale in the U.S, i would say between 150-350k, nothing more, but he could sell less, i can't really say, but i stand by that range.
Below is what they had to say at sohh.com:
