Kanye West, Grammy award winning producer/rapper has beaten his nemesis 50 Cent to the top of the charts in one of the most hyped musical battles of the year.

The pair went head-to-head last week when their respective albums were released on the same day — but West’s third offering Graduation has taken the coveted number one position on the U.S. Billboard charts.

Graduation has sold almost one million copies since its release on September 11, making it the best debut of the year so far. 50 Cent posted sales of 691,000 for his third album Curtis, landing the rapper in second place.

50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, threatened to retire if he failed to beat West’s album sales. We’ll see if the rapper 50 Cent follows through with his threat now that it’s obvious he’s been taken out by Kanye West. His recently issued statement doesn’t mention his future career plans: “I am very excited to have participated in one of the biggest album release weeks in the last two years. Collectively, we have sold hundreds of thousands of units in our debut week. This marks a great moment for hip hop music, one that will go down in history.”
