50 Cent VS. Kanye West- A Web Popularity Analysis

Tomorrow is the big day for Kanye and 50 Cent. Who is going to outsell the other?

Let's take a look at how they stack up online.
Monthly Uniques: KanyeWest.com VS. 50cent.com




KanyeWest.com - 50Cent.com


Kanye wins but what's more interesting is that in the last 2 months leading up to the release when you would expect traffic to increase, 50cent.com sees a considerable drop in traffic. My theory is that the albums or singles leaked onto the internet around June pushing the buzz for Kanye and killing the buzz for 50 Cent.

Kanye wins everything but the Myspace Friends, but then again who uses Myspace these days. I will be surprised if Kanye doesn't outsell 50 Cent.
