i wouldnt call it a flop, but didn't his last album sell like 750k copies?

i think it matters more because how much 50 talks about record sales, making fun of rick ross and nas for low record sales. nas last album sold more than this, and 160k is barely more than what deeper than rap sold.

its not a complete flop and im not sure if these numbers are correct anyway. 50's also releasing the deluxe version (with the DVD) on Monday so he'll get more sales for that too. Just wait til the soundscan is released officially to see....

"According to reports, 50's first-week 160,000 projected sold copies will also include his iTunes sales.Like an NFL coaching staff making in-game adjustments on the fly, Interscope's Jimmy Iovineand Steve Berman did some last-minute maneuvering around the release of 50 Cent's Before I Self Destruct following worldwide Internet leaks weeks prior to the original street date. In rapid succession, they pushed forward the physical release date from Nov. 23 to Nov. 17 -- the soonest the CD could be manufactured and shipped -- while also working out a one-week exclusive with iTunes for the digital album, to take effect Nov. 10. In return, iTunes agreed to go against its standard policy and "locked" the album, with only the single available a la carte, selling 46k album downloads during the exclusive window. Additionally, the compilers of the charts agreed to include the initial iTunes sales in the total for first week of general release, which is now looking in the 140-150k range. That won't challenge Columbia's John Mayer, now a lock for #1 with 275-300k. (Hits Daily Double)"

i say when the final numbers come out he's at like 120k

You got that from sohh the first people to some how break this news and the website that goes out there way everyday to hate on 50. If it's true it's tru,but it doesn't take away from a good album. It's still not a flop though sales wise. And Im guessing you work for interscope cause some how you know the amount of money they put into this prokect.

160k first week is a flop... lol and not a surprise cause the album was leaked since almost 3 weeks before he hits the stores

not a great fan of 50cent but this album is solid, way better than Curtis who was 70% garbage

damn! that fat head nigga took a mean ass L lmao even ross last album sold more than this clown haha flop of the year!!


50 Cent's highly anticipated Before I Self Destruct is estimated to debut with first-week sales of approximately 160,000 units, losing out to singer John Mayer for the number one spot.

According to one-day estimates, 50's fourth solo project may land as far as back No. 4 its opening week.
Columbia's singer/songwriter, full-time Tweeter and tabloid lothario will bow on top next week as his Battle Studies rustles up 275-300k in sales, almost twice as much as his nearest pursuer, according to one-day reports from those hearty few still selling shiny, round discs in their stores instead of flat screen TVs. Blue Note chanteuse Norah Jones' The Fall is the next-highest debut at 150-160k, putting her in a four-way logjam with Aftermath/Interscope rapper 50 Cent's Before I Self-Destruct (whoops, too late), also in its first week, Provident/Reunion Christian act Casting Crowns and Decca's Andrea Bocelli, all in the 140-150k range. (Hits Daily Double)

straight up, this year that is not a flop. Kids these days think that it all matters about first week sales and that shit is bullshit. That shit irritates me when heads judge off of first week sales. I am not that big of a 50 cent fan BUT most of your favorite artist back then took up to 6 months to a year to hit gold. Yall need to realize that longevity is fucking way better then first week or month sales. If that shit continues to sale within the next couple of years than you can judge if it is a flop or not.

Cant fucking judge a flop off of predictions and first months sales!!
