50 Cent has proved he is the biggest thing in American hip hop at the moment by leading the mid-year album sales charts.
His latest album ‘The Massacre’ has sold twice as many copies as the second place artist in the chart; holding off Mariah Carey and her ‘The Emancipation Of Mimi’ album by a long way.
The rappers sales in the US have topped the 4 million mark, while poor old Mariah has come in second with only 2.3 million sales, reports ContactMusic.
