50 CENT

Who is 50 Cent?

50 Cent is a chart-topping American rapper hailing from Queens, New York. Real name Curtis James Jackson III (born July 6, 1975), 50 Cent's debut mixtape Guess Who's Back? was discovered by Eminem who subsequently signed him to his imprint Shady Records.

50 Cent broke through in the UK in 2003, making his debut appearance on the Official Singles Chart with Top 5 hit In Da Club, peaking at Number 3. The track was taken from Fiddy's critically-acclaimed debut studio album which had landed straight in at Number 2 on the UK Official Albums Chart a few weeks earlier.

Follow-up album The Massacre gave 50 Cent his first UK Number 1 album, and the rapper has scored a string of hit singles and collaborations on The Official Chart with the likes of Eminem, Dr Dre, The Game, Notorious BIG, Mobb Deep and more. See where every 50 Cent song and album charted below.
