newssourcedotcom: Kanye West tops 50 Cent on charts
'Graduation' beats 'Curtis' for top spot
By PHIL GALLO
Kanye West not only won last week's head-to-head competition with 50 Cent, the rapper-producer-songwriter posted the highest one-week sales mark in 2½ years.
The pair combined to generate the biggest sales week ever for two debuting albums.
West's "Graduation" (Roc-A-Fella) sold 957,000 copies in its first week, the highest total since March 2005, when 50 Cent's "The Massacre" sold 1.1 million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Van Halen has been hosting open rehearsals at the Forum in Los Angeles for the past week in anticipation of their reunion tour. Scott Ian from Anthrax checked out a recent show and posted about it on his MySpace page: “They were fucking amazing (ear-boners). Seriously, the hair on my arms was standing up. Dave sang great, Eddie was shredding, Alex is a fucking monster and Wolf was perfect. Great on bass and hit every high note. The set list was 2 1/2 hours of the best shit. I’m The One, Atomic Punk, Romeo Delight, Somebody Get Me A Doctor, Mean Street, Unchained and so many more. Do whatever you gotta do to get tix to see this. FINALLY!!!!! A real full blown arena rock act!!!!! It’s like listening to the soundtrack of America since 1978. THE KINGS ARE BACK!!!!!!!”
Over on Blabbermouth, someone who attended the fourth rehearsal on Sunday reported approximately 500 friends and family members showed up, including Tom Morello, Kirk Hammett and Zakk Wylde, who tried to jump onstage with Eddie and Co., only to be yanked down by security. Wylde then evidently traded shoes with a lady in the crowd and spent some quality time in high heels.
