| 50 Cent Since he first dropped his bombs on the music world, 50 Cent has earned 11 Grammy nominations, from Best New Artist to Best Rap Album for each of his first two efforts. Attesting to his worldwide popularity, Get Rich or Die Tryin? hit #2 in the U.K. and #1 in Australia while The Massacre went #1 in both those countries, #2 in Sweden, and is the biggest-selling rap album in India, where it has been certified double platinum, selling more than 2,000,000 copies. Back in the U.S., 50 has scored three singles claiming the #1 spot across the charts--R&B/Hip-hop, Rap, and Pop: ?In Da Club,? ?Candy Shop? and ?21 Questions? (featuring Nate Dogg). Three more went Top 3 across the board: ?P.I.M.P.,? ?Just a Lil Bit? and ?Disco Inferno.? Yet another four were Rap Top 10s: ?Wanksta,? ?Outta Control (Remix),? ?Window Shopper? and ?Best Friend.? Four of the above have been certified digital gold: ?In Da Club,? ?Candy Shop,? ?P.I.M.P.? and ?Disco Inferno.? From music to movies, videogames to books, a clothing line to footwear, 50 has taken street culture by storm. But as Curtis proves, and as he says in ?Straight to the Bank,? 50 Cent wants even more.
