lol 5 weeks is a very long stay at the top bearing in mind that great albums like How I Got Over can't even reach the top 5.

2 697 000 worldwide (mediatraffic). +this 159k, close to 3 millions.

Yeah your right but ...you know us "Stans"
He is probably #2 or even #3 next week at least what it looks like (i tunes)

[AJS2050]

^ No his #1 next week

Next week on the Billboard 200, we expect the highest debut will be Arcade Fire's "The Suburbs," which could open at No. 2. Industry sources suggest the set could sell between 80,000 and 100,000 by week's end on Sunday, Aug. 8. Eminem's "Recovery" may possibly retake the No. 1 slot, as it's likely Avenged Sevenfold's "Nightmare" will probably see a significant second-week sales decline from its current No. 1 perch.

Really so these #3 and #7 are probably just temporary?

3 millions next week sounds pretty much assured.

All in all, I think Recovery will be able to reach ~4.5 million by the end of the year (~2.7 million in USA), according to my (fairly basic) model.

I think Eminem could maybe reach Triple Platinum in the US if they introduce some price cuts before the end of the year and if "No Love", which will likely be released in Fall 2010, is successful (like Not Afraid; I don't expect it to be LTWYL-huge).

This is going to be a very hard end of Summer/Fall for Eminem with major releases like Katy Perry, TI, Game, Kanye, Kid Cudi, Linkin Park and most importantly, Taylor Swift.

Eminem should launch his deluxe edition in store by the end of the year to help with sales... but in the long-run, 3x Platinum is attainable.

They should release a single just before christmas so Recovey can boost from the christmas sales period a little.
