The numbers are in peeps! Kanye West's "Graduation" (Def Jam) easily leads the star-studded class of Sept. 11 releases, posting The Billboard 200's largest sales total in more than two years. Nielsen SoundScan will show West's album moved 957,000 during its first six days when the tracking service refreshes its charts. The dude sold almost a million albums in a week, that's crazzzy! I know 50 Cent must be feeling very sorry for acting so damn cocky, as his album, "Curtis" (G-Unit/Interscope) sold 691,000 copies this week, that's nowhere near Kanye's sales. He better retire like he said he would. Moving on, Kenny Chesney's "Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates" (BNA/Sony BMG Nashville) will bow at No. 3 with 387,000 copies. But, I'm still shocked with Kanye's sales, that's just wow. Congrats to him.
