The pressure is on and it looks like it may be getting to 50 Cent. As the US awaits the final results of first week sales between Graduation and Curtis, the UK has already announced their winner.

According to the BBC and the Official UK Charts Company, Kanye West’s Graduation beat out 50’s Curtis to take the No. 1 spot on their Top 40 Charts. If this is any indication, 50 is going to have a long week when the US numbers are announced. 50 has in turn canceled his UK tour. It is not known if it is due to losing to Kanye or to just being exhausted of touring (something he addressed in a previous news piece DX ran).

A label rep for the rapper sent this statement to MTV UK…

“50 Cent is very sad to confirm that due to a last minute, unforseen and unanticipated change in his schedule, he will have to postpone his European Promotion Trip from Sept. 18 – 25.”
