Get Rich or Die Tryin' , released in 2003, is the debut album of New York City rapper 50 Cent. It was produced by Eminem and Dr. Dre, and featured singles "In Da Club", "P.I.M.P." and "21 Questions". The single "In Da Club" was Billboard Magazine's number one single for the year. It was the first time since 1994 that an artist had both the number one song and album for the year (Ace of Base held that distinction last with "The Sign"). The song depicted club culture and its "vibes" and ebbs. In its first week of release, "Get Rich Or Die Tryin'" sold 872,000 copies. The album was certified gold in its first week and platinum the next, and it broke the record for first week sales of any major label debut in the entire Soundscan era.
