West officially outsells 50

GraduationIt's official: According to first-day sales figures, Kanye West's new disc "Graduation" handily outpaced 50 Cent's new "Curtis," according to Billboard.

Wednesday's SoundScan Building Chart showed first-day sales of 437,000 for West and 310,000 for 50 Cent. Both albums were released Sept. 11.

Remember 50's exact words: "If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I'll no longer write music. I'll write music and work with my other artists, but I won't put out any more solo albums."

We await 50's concession speech.
