Eminem Sales Thread

[Alaine]

what do you reckon the chances of a Recovery re-release with bonus songs just before xmas like refill...? It'd be great in order to boost sales

no chance. Even if they wanted to re-release it for real, they will wait till next year or so. Relapse only got re-released so fast because of 2 reasons: 1, It fell off the radar quickly after few weeks & 2, Em wanted to put it out to hold people over for new album as he promised earlier he would have 2 albums in 1 year

[NextEpisode]

If i were to guess the next few weeks, i'd say:

next week: 98-105k
week after: 90-93k
week after: 86k
week after: 78k

I guess the question now becomes how long he will sell over 50k, cause i mean eventually the publicity and talk, as well as interest in him as his singles slowly fade, if he can still put up numbers that get him in the top 5, which is big i think.

I'd say he realistically can be in the top 5 on billboard until oct, meaning even if he drops out of the top 5 his last top 5 appearance can be in oct

Without no special promo, that would look very reasonable (it's been dropping about 10% a week for a while now). However, as Em have 4 statium shows + a festival over at the US, performing at the VMAs (+ probably taking home a couple of awards), and the fact that the Entourage episode that he's in will air in the next couple of weeks - makes me confident that sales should stay even stronger than you suggested. Let's wait and see.

I failed to see how those stadium shows will help huge boost on album sale. It's not like it's publicly aired on TV or something so it's just like normal artists doing tours.
VMAs performance though, if it's impressive I can really see a boost

Billboard next week:
• Eminem will likely relinquish the No. 1 position next week to Katy Perry's new "Teenage Dream." Released yesterday (Aug. 24), industry prognosticators suggest that the set will likely sell in the range of 170,000 to 200,000 by week's end on Aug. 29. Beleaguered former "American Idol" champ Fantasia is seeking a big week too. Her third set, "Back to Me," is on track for a sturdy No. 2 debut with a number in the range of 150,000 to 175,000.

I was soo right about Katy's album sales

I thought Katy Perry would do atleast twice that

[buffalo bill]

lol weren't people talking about her selling like 750k to 1m

[Alaine]

Pop stars with generic radio forgettable hits don't open high. I do think she will do more than estimate at the end of the week though, around 200-230k

lol weren't people talking about her selling like 750k to 1m

wow really? hdd or billboard? they must feel like dumbass right now lol

[Mikey1990]
