Reba Beats Kanye and 50 in second week Record Sales

In the Second week of 50 and Kanyes record sales, Reba McEntire crashes in to
sell over 300,000 records over 50 and Kanyes second week record sales that experienced a 76% and 79% drop in sales from the huge sales of the first week. Kanye's Stronger sold in the 900 thousands in the first week, over 50's 600 thousands sold. Will 50 retire finally from solo music? Will 50 make a collaboration record with Reba McEntire? Anyways according to the second weeks sales could their be a new King, I mean Queen of New York? Will 50 come out of his cave of shame anytime soon? Of course not. Will 50 break more Plasma TV's? Well, yes.

Stay Tuned Next Week, where I take a deep look at Lupe Fiasco's mix tapes and FnLand talk about how excited I am about the album in November.
