i'm impressed Drake is about to go platinum in a few weeks...i fully expected him to flop
it's a decent replayable album so it should keep selling OK

yea i just remember how much momentum he had with Successful and Best I Ever Had and then we got Over and Find Your Love and those sounded way below the bar he set for himself earlier...i guess those that bought the album already planned on buying it regardless

i liked the album, didnt buy it off course lol, but he didn't have "hits" on this album like Recovery or any other album which has done over 400k the last few years

both Over & Find your love are successful on airplay, especially Find Your Love. And before Recovery release Em only had one single out which is NA.

Eminem doesn't count though...that name alone will sell 400k even if its a gospel album
plus, Not Afraid got people really excited for Recovery so it was successful...We Made You on the other hand turned a lot of people away

I know, Not Afraid while is not a smash, it's still a hit and more important it's the kind of song that can sell albums because it has substance, message, has crossover appear & it's like an introduction that makes people excited for what's else is on the album. The more I think about it the more I realize how perfect NA is for the first single.

naw sorry, whats his predictions for week 5 in the u.s ??

ohh they will probably give that out tommorow but i would say its too close to call and will go down to the final day. Em's sales are gunna hold up well in the 5th week because Love The Way You Lie is #1 so maybe a 10-20% decrease for Em. Let's hope Ross Can sell the lower part of his prediction.

Could come down to being 170k each and down to a few hundred or 1 or 2k between the top 2.

personally, i think eminem will have more than a 25% decrease due to the fact that there is another rap album out in stores!

although, i hope its not the case..

he really is controlling the music industry, do you think he'll reach 3x platinum ?

Yeah no doubt not sure when though, maybe before the end of the year.
