The Massacre turns 20!

Thank you Fiddy…

This chart topper was released on March 3, 2005.

This is the cover art for the album "The Massacre" by 50 Cent.

The album debuted atop the Billboard 200, selling 1.15 million copies in its first four days; it remained atop the chart for six weeks after its release. “The Massacre” was 50 Cent’s second consecutive number one album and was also the best-selling album of 2005 (Billboard 200).

Songs like “Candy Shop” and “Just a Lil Bit” were on many people’s playlists and drove countless clubbers to the dance floor in 2005.  For me, these rhythms and rhymes take me right back to when I met my now wife.

Contributions from 50 Cent, Black Eyed Peas, Ciara, Gwen Stefani, and The Pussycat Dolls, as well as a few classic ‘80s Dance/New Wave hits, formed our soundtrack for that memorable Summer.  One of our favorite nightclubs (the former Raoul’s Velvet Room) sometimes featured live acts, including one of the best ‘80s cover bands around, The Zeros!
