Who better to accompany ugly-duckling hero Susan Boyle's mellifluous tones than bulletproof-vest enthusiast 50 Cent? The rapper has indicated a desire to work with the Scottish singer, saying, "Susan Boyle is hot right now. I got to get her on a track, for real." 50, known for hits like "In da Club" and "P.I.M.P.," also said that he'd like to get to know the Britain's Got Talent contestant outside the studio, too: "I'd love to take her clubbing, show her around my world. She'd have a great time." But is it about the artistry, or the sales? Boyle's debut album sold more than 700,000 copies last week—the bestselling debut by a woman of all time—while 50's newest LP, released in early November, hasn't yet sold 300,000.
