Fifty’s iconic debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin’ has officially hit an epic milestone — over 5 billion streams on Spotify. Even after 20 years, the album that put 50 Cent on the map is still going strong.
Released in 2003, “Get Rich or Die Tryin’” was an instant smash. It shot to No.1 on the Billboard 200, selling 872,000 copies in just its first week. With bangers like “In da Club” and “21 Questions,” both of which topped the Billboard Hot 100, the album dominated charts worldwide. And let’s not forget “P.I.M.P.” — another global hit that cemented Fif’s superstar status.
Billboard ranked GRODT No.1 on the 2003 Year-End chart, as it was the best-selling album of the year in the US. Since then, “Get Rich or Die Tryin’” went platinum (or higher) in eight countries, including nine platinum certifications in the US alone.
Now, with over 5 billion streams, “Get Rich or Die Tryin’”’ is still Fifty’s most streamed album. Two decades later, it proves that a classic never dies — it just keeps on winning.
