50 Cent’s ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’’ Rallies Back to Album Charts After Memes Tied to Trump Rally Shooting
After a "Many Men"-led streaming surge, 50 Cent's 'Get Rich or Die Tryin' is back on album charts after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
The set enjoys its highest chart rank since its original 2003 release run, spurred by a “Many Men” streaming boost after many social media users used the song to comment on the July 13 shooting at former president Donald Trump’s rally. Accompanying the streaming boost, “Many Men” also experienced a sales lift to 3,000 downloads sold, up from a negligible amount in the previous tracking week. Social media users soundtracked memes with the song and shared altered Get Rich or Die Tryin’ album covers with the former president’s head superimposed on 50 Cent, who famously survived being shot nine times.
