Eminem V. Rick Ross (sales)

even if rick ross wins, it doesn't say much about his sales. i mean it's em's 5th week against his debut. but fuck it i just want recovery to be on top for 5+ weeks consecutively.

Well, I don't think there are any names who can do 100K plus dropping either next week or the week after (both weeks Eminem will likely do 100K+). So for week 6 and week 7 Eminem seems like a good bet to be number 1 (even if Ross passes him this week, Ross will experience a 60% sales decline, while Recovery will drop 15-25%)

So, even though it doesn't "mean much" if Ross beats Em this week, if Recovery manages to come out on top it might experience an absurd 7 or 8 week reign at the top.

You may very well be correct that he might do 180k, I've never said anything else, but your assumptions are based on the wrong "facts". You say "don't talk numbers when you don't know the artist"... That's a brilliant claim!! so if I've been a devoted fan to Ross for the past years, I should know how much he'd do this week? Right?! Na, what about 'don't talk about numbers when you don't know the industry'... Guessing is fine, but claiming things like they're facts are blant out ignorant.

Is Em still in the lead? Wasn't the early report that he had the lead?

Honestly, you guys should not want him to sell, the more an album sells the worse it is.

i thought that was a good thing

No, when the majority of the population likes your album that is not a good thing

it's good for the majority that like it...

I do mind the position, but I completely agree with you. Thats fuckin insane to sell the same as his fourth week!! fuckin bonkers! :worship:

As for Dick Toss, I'm surprised he is projected to sell that much. :shakehead:
