Lets not forget 50 sold 1.1 mill in a short week but it took him several 'publicity' stunt beefs and some 'associated' involvement in a shooting against rival rapper Game's crew. (That felt so absurd writing that sentence, I'd pretty much erased all this fuckery from my memory)
I think its only fair to compare Weezy's first week sales to that of Britney (1.3), Backstreet Boys (1.1 & 1.6), N'Sync (2.4 & 1.9) & Eminem (1.7), all who achieved enormous first weeks without publicity stunts and the general hip hop fuckery.
Official Soundscan numbers will be released later today I'm guessing.
