Kanye's outselling 50

The race for the top of the chart started yesterday when albums by 50 Cent and Kanye West's albums hit stores.

According to early sales reports, Kanye West's Island Def Jam album Graduation is on pace to sell over 750,000 copies the first week in stores, while 50 Cent's Shady/Aftermath/Interscope album Curtis is expected to move around 550,000 units.

West's Graduation is expected to debut at the top of the Billboard Top 200 charts next week, while Curtis will battle for the #2 spot with country music star Kenny Chesney.

Retail outlets have said that Kanye is outselling 50 by at least 2 to 1.
