50 Cent's Curtis tops European album chart over Kanye West

Although Kanye West beat 50 Cent in the UK and US chart battle, 50 Cent's 'Curtis' is top of the mainland European album chart, with West's 'Graduation' third.

As we briefly mentioned last week, while Kanye West was victorious in the Kanye/50 Cent chart battle in the UK and US, elsewhere in Europe it is Fiddy's album that is topping the chart. Across mainland Europe Fiddy's 'Curtis' is top, with West's 'Graduation' coming in third behind Manu Chao's 'La Radiolina'. Whether that technicality is enough to mean that Fiddy doesn't have to now quit music, as he promised to do if he lost the chart battle, remains to be seen. I'll have to check the rules for 'flippant promises made during manufactured chart battles'.
