It looks like Kanye West is taking the trophy!

Early reports have Kanye West beating 50 in their much-hyped battle of album sales: West's "Graduation" is on pace to sell about 575,000 to 700,000 its first week out, while 50 Cent's "Curtis" is on track to do 550,000, according to Billboard magazine.

As of day one, Kanye had sold 437,000 copies to 50's 310,000, according to Nielsen Soundscan.

I did expect this one coming. I'm also sure that 50 cent won't retire that fast. It was all media trick they played to get more sales, and we all bought it!
