Eminem Sales Thread

[brockl101]

YOUR PRESEASON WEAKEND CHART PREVIEW: It's a very safe bet to say that Eminem will return to the top of the chart next week. Fact is, he’ll be the only act to sell in six digits, as the dog days of summer appear in tandem with a belated SoCal heatwave. Eminem will cross the 2.1m mark next week and close the gap with Lady Antebellum in the race for 2010's top selling album (so far). Including next week's projection, Lady A has now sold just north of 2.5m units. Based on midweek sales reports, here’s how next week's Top 15 might look:

Eminem (Shady/Aftermath/Interscope) 130-140k
Arcade Fire (Merge) 40-50k
* Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam (Walt Disney) 40-45k
* Black Label Society (E1) 40-45k
* Mike Posner (J/RMG) 30-35k
Justin Bieber (Island/IDJ) 30-35k
* Blake Shelton (Warner Bros. Nashville) 30-35k
Kidz Bop Kids (Razor & Tie) 28-32k
Rick Ross (Def Jam/IDJ) 28-32k
Avenged Sevenfold (Warner Bros.) 25-28k
Lady Antebellum (Capitol Nashville/EMI) 22-25k
Drake (Young Money/Cash Money/Universal Motown) 22-25k
Lady Gaga, The Fame (Interscope) 20-22k
Zac Brown Band (Atlantic) 18-20k
Now 34 (Capitol/EMI) 18-20k
* Denotes debut

So is he still number 1? I saw currently hes number 1 but did he get passed for a week?

No he isn't right now, arcade fire beat him by 6,000

[Emadyville]

i'd say 3 more weeks (including this week) with +100k

That's a good estimate, I mean if it does 130-140k like they saying, who knows, especially if it's high 130's or even over 140, which seems def possible

[Eric2711]

Well he'll be number 1 in a another week. How many number 1 weeks do you think he is going to have? I'd say 10+

Same here. Maybe up to 20, but that's stretching it.

What? Recovery does not stand a chance against Katy Perry and Linkin Park which are coming out in a couple of weeks.

Does not stand a chance 2 months laters sales. I bet eminem out sells them though.

this will be the 6th week at #1 through 8 weeks.

it will likely get #1 it's again for 7 weeks at #1 in 9 weeks.

that will probably be it. think how close that is from being 9 in 9. but as they say almost doesnt mean shit. but 7 in 9 is really solid.

base on the prediction, great sale this week for Em
horrible sales for rest of the chart though

[Mikey1990]

i never thought recovery was gonna do this well tbh
i knew 1st week would be big though

[accutub]

3.5 mill by the end of the year

same here. I kinda knew he was gonna gain back his fanbase though. But I really don't think he was gonna be big on airplay like right now (especially after Not Afraid started falling on radio but somehow it had a second wind and started gaining again after the album release)

i think Space Bound should be the next single too
that will be a top 5 hit
