The numbers are in and No cents still hasn’t gone platinum. It’s a good thing his Formula 50 Vitamin Water is good. The featured “Quote of the Day” Lil Weezy is a fan:

I got beaucoup 50 Vitamin Waters. He got the coldest one, the rest of ‘em are really nasty. For real – don’t get that Revise – that other purple one. Naaaah, you gotta get that Formula 50. I done been fooled like that plenty of times. 50 got like the best-tasting Vitamin Water.

To date Curtis’ numbers: 906,198. Poor thang. Oh well, his ass is still getting $$$.

    Shocking

  • NAIS

    50 did this to himself. How can u have the same song 13 times on an album?? He makes it so easy to diss his funny lookin ass- he look like a skinny ass Tony Yayo.

    for the record formula 50 is the worst

  • Shasta

    what up with that pink area on Fiddy’s bottom lip?

  • M-DADDY

    Formula 50 taste good mixed with vodka

  • ImpressMe

    Kinda of iffy oh fiddy. I like him but love to hate him. This is what happens when your mouth cash a check that yo ass can’t cash. He talks a lot of foolishness kinda like chris breezy regarding the song “Bed ” with J holiday. In related news rumor has it he and CiCi are tucked away in Atlanta in a love nest. If so congrats to them. Im sure spliting that has a least kept somewhat of a grin on his face.

    Ha! D@mn near platinum!

  • NaYE

    Whatever, I’m not a huge fan of 50. However he has gained over 400 million dollars when vitamin Water sold to Coca-Cola!

    HE COULD CARE LESS

    I GET MONEY…..think about it….

    He’s sold more than he should. Wack a– album

    Shyt he did good forreal most people thought he was going to flop.

    I was reading some of the published Census reports and it stated that last year 700 million cds were sold…compared to 2000 when over 900 million albums were sold.

    50 better be glad he sold that amount…

  • Straight…no chaser

    If it wasn’t for 50 neither him or Kanye would have sold as much as they did. I’m sure he intended to come out on top (of Kanye), but he can afford this loss. In the grand scheme of things, he’s still very much a winner.

  • ThatTouchOfPink

    Well shoot!

    I know these days its all about sound scan and down loads but that is 900,000 records than ANY of us have ever sold! Give him a break!

    Back in the day going platinum during the course of an album’s release was a super acheivement in itself

    Now it’s about how soon you get to platinum.

    50 is that DEAL if 900,000 is seen as mediocre performance.

    That’s like when Michael Jackson did between 5-7 million on his last album and it was concidered a commercial flop. . .WHAT??? LOL

  • Lano

    Get 50s nuts out your mouth you really had to do some searcing for this. hiphoper

  • STFU

    @ thattouchofpink

    I completely agree. I know the bar has been lowered and sales have been down but to clown this dude for 900,000 in 3 weeks when his album was leaked and heavily bootlegged is immature and stupid. These people obviously know nothing about the music industry.

  • http://yourbenefitmatters.blogspot.com ThaBossLadee

    Damn that makes me wanna go out and get one!!!

  • Not You

    @ hiphoper

    You care waaaaay to much about this! LOL

  • Not You

    I haven’t bought a CD in a long time.

    I have paid 88 cents on Wal-Mart.com to download certain songs. That’s right, I won’t even pay 99 cents for iTunes, LOL!

    I think buying entire albums are a waste of money. Very few artists make a solid album. There’s always some wck, filler garbage on them.

  • rachel

    People already aren’t buying music like they were when he first came out so of course he wasn’t going to do those numbers, and he was dillusional if he thought he was. On top of that people love to hate him so it’s like he defeated himself with all that running his mouth. Most people wanted him to lose. So, we will see if Kanye does those kind of numbers again. To me that is now the question.

  • Not You

    *WACK, filler garbage

    damn the typos!!!!!!

  • Kellz

    DAMN HOW LONG IT TOOK TO GET ALL THEM NUMBERS?

  • Not You

    Remember when Michael Jackson sold 50 million copies of Thriller?

    Remember when NSync (yuck) went double platinum in a week?

    Those days are over.

  • Delta Diva

    He will go platinum…As most of you have stated it is very hard to gseel even half that in one month. So fiddy ain’t hurting at all. That’s why many artists are constantly on tour or doing other things to make up for poor record sells.

  • Shawn

    900,000+ is damn good to me. I do like his CD. I like Ye’s too.

  • Ttime

    The reason ppl are clowning No Cents–for those who ACT like they don’t know–is because he shot off his FAT ASS mouth. Id he would learn the meaning of the word HUMILITY he would not be a LAUGHING STOCK right now. He started this FAKE beef with Kanye, then he couldn’t live up to the hype. You think, just maybe, when you make your bed you should be made to lie in it?

    And for all of the ppl who say that his album is a success because he sold 900,000 copies in three weeks–you are DEAD wrong.

    When an artist is considered a SUPERSTAR, the record label expends more COST on their albums to produce and promote it. More cost means more MONEY is needed to RECOUP what is put out. Also, considering his last album sold 1.1 million in the FIRST week, the record company had much BIGGER expectations. No Cents saw a DECLINE in album sales from his last album of more than 600,000, while Kanye saw an increase of over 100,000. You think the record company is A LOT worried right about now?

    His last album sold worldwide totals of 8 million. If this one doesn’t sell at least 6 million, it will be considered a FLOP! These are the facts, accept them and deal with them. Superstars are judged by a different standard.

    The lesson here: Stop bragging, learn humility.

  • Ikandy

    ENOUGH of 50 already…his album is ass.

  • me

    dude, he sold more in 2 a month than many sell in years. no sympathy. he’ll get the next 100g soon

  • Hiphopisgarbage

    This lil’ Wayne dude, is there a more idiotic sounding brother in the rap game today? Never too late to go back to school man. Or, to read a book. Any book.

  • Evil Kinegro

    Um, Wheezy: It’s called revive. Not revise. And it’s actually my favorite. Just saying. :)

  • oh my damn

    It’s okay. It doesn’t really matter to him or his true fans like myself. I LOVE his album and bump it everyday.

  • me

    lol at haters. fif is still the best seller in all. sorry

  • Mr Eff

    LOL@900,000 being a wack #. 50′s the most hated rapper in the game probably,so for him to even be @ 900,000.he’s still doin somethin right.As much as people hate on him,i’m suprised he even sold half of that

  • fat boy

    people need to understand by 50′s standards these numbers are beyond failing..he did these numbers in his first week the last times around.

    i havent heard from 50 since he lost. hes in hiding.

  • http://www.lovingmeansaol.com 1TruDiva w/The PlatinumVocals

    Maybe he should do like Jigga and retire. Again. And again. And again. And again! Lol!!

  • http://www.lovingmeansaol.com 1TruDiva w/The PlatinumVocals

    @ Black friday–

    I think I’ll take your advice and do just that…stick to R&B. It’s sad there too because THAT music has changed drastically over the years! I heard a song on the way to work today that was made well before I was born (before you even GO there, lol!) “When a man loves a woman” by Percy Sledge! Whew! If you get the chance in the near future–listen to it! That brother poured his whole soul into THAT song! That’s what singing is all about! Sadly, I don’t hear that anymore unless I listen to “older” music.

  • http://www.lovingmeansaol.com 1TruDiva w/The PlatinumVocals

    Another song I heard that reminded me of true R&B is..I think it’s called..”The simple things”. I don’t know who sings it but as soon as I find out, I’m getting it. I think I’ll actually by the CD and not the “bootleg” version! Lol!

    I think it’s by Martha…somebody. If anyone knows, please help me out!

    Thanks!

    Your comment reminds me…

    I had an uncle that “almost went pro!”

    ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    **whew**

    Good one, girl! Lmao!!!!!

  • BlackGirlLost

    Formula 50 vitamin water is nasty….for real

  • FOXYCLEOPATRA

    @ HIP HOPER,

    50′S ALBUM IS DOING WELL ENOUGH BUT I DON’T KNOW WHAT SOURCE YOU USE BUT OVER HERE IN EUROPE, KANYE IS FAR OUTSELLING 50.

    BTW HE LOOKS SOOO LAME IN THIS PIC. WELL I FORGOT….HE ALMOST ALWAYS DOES!

  • Ttime

    @ Fat Boy:

    We keep trying to tell them, but they refuse to listen to reason. Oh well…

  • BB

    The sad thing is that all parties involved are laughing on their way to the bank. Universal Records owns both Interscope (50) and Defjam (Kanye)this fabricated beef paid off handsomely for those in the suits. Oh and by the way 50 did not get $400 million from the sale of Vitamin water. It was like $100 million according to Forbes. Every other blog had it at $400, but blogs are hardly ever accurate.

  • nono

    zero cent zero cent zero cent zero cent!!!

  • Anonymous3

    Weezy got it right Formula 50 is good but don’t sleep on Enery and Vitamin C…those are my favorite Vitamin Waters

  • Black Friday

    For the record, Jayz retired once…You people really are retarded…

  • Mahogany

    He’s still rich regardless of his record sales, I must say…

    sic vita

  • FIDDY

    I LOVE YOU 50!! THAT MIX-TAPE IS WHAT IT’S HITTIN FOR!!

    I GET IT!

  • *SOUTHERN BELLE*

    He looks like Plies in this picture

  • JillyBean819

    “I done been fooled like that plenty of times. 50 got like the best-tasting Vitamin Water.”

    Intellectual words of wisdom.

  • Honti Sonud

    Hi ya. I am a friend of 20, 50′s third cousin, twice removed. Now 50 is doing great. He’ll be alright. 900,000 in sales is nothing to sneeze at.

  • DAYG715

    LMAO finally! RIP No Cents! or should i say No Sales! LMAO

  • Cocoa

    I thought that platinum stsaus was 500,000 units sold? Platinum doesnt mean u sell a million albums– its the number of albums in distribution. If u NEED to put out 1 million albums in the stores bc consumption is that high– then u have reached plat status…. just sayin.
