From Billboard.com:
John Cena & Tha Trademarc's "You Can't See Me" (Sony) opens at No. 15 with sales of 43,000, marking the first chart appearance for the hip-hop act and professional wrestling champion.
Not bad considering there was very little promotion.

Meh. Good on him.
Not really what I'd call great music, but I don't have to buy it.

Not too shabby. As much as I'm not into his gimmick, and how he wrestles the WWE style, and that ugly belt, I don't begrudge his success. He seems like a real good person, and cares about his profession. Good for him.

I was just going to post this. From what I heard, a number of stores didn't think to carry more than 3 or 4 copies of the album, so 43,000 sold is pretty impressive since some had trouble even finding the album. There was some tough competition too, which the new Dave Matthews Band, new Weezer and others that came out that same day.
Congratualations to Cena on a good first week of sales.

Not bad considering WWE's recent attempts to hit big in the music scene.
Good for Cena.

Meh. Good on him. Not really what I'd call great music, but I don't have to buy it. I think this summarizes my thoughts perfectly. I don't like it, and I would never even think of buying it. But I don't knock him for making the CD, because there are clearly a lot of people who do want to hear it. I also can't blame WWE for backing it, because there is obviously money to be made here. |

I am glad Cena has been able to sell that many considering you can't even find it in most places
