Eminem Sales Thread

[Bloodonthewall]

Boyle's debut album, I Dreamed A Dream, blew through 3 million copies in its first six weeks in late 2009.

Thats what hype will do. She won't go close those numbers 2nd time around.

Eminem's Recovery this week pulls ahead of Lady Antebellum's Need You Now as the best-selling album so far in 2010. If Recovery can stay out front through the end of the year, Eminem will become the first artist in Nielsen/SoundScan history (which dates to 1991) to have the best-selling album of the year twice. The rap icon had the best-selling album of 2002, The Eminem Show.

50 Cent and the High School Musical cast came close. They each had the #1 album of one year and the #2 album of another year. Get Rich Or Die Tryin' was #1 for 2003. The Massacre was #2 for 2005. HSM was on top for 2006. HSM2 was #2 for 2007.

Recovery has sold 2,656,000 copies in 14 weeks. Need You Now has sold 2,641,000 copies in 35 weeks. The rest of the top five albums so far in 2010 are Justin Bieber's My World 2.0 (1,811,000), Lady Gaga's The Fame (1,399,000 this year) and Sade's Soldier Of Love (1,256,000).

For Eminem to hold on to his #1 standing, he will have to withstand late challenges from two artists who sold huge numbers of their last albums. Taylor Swift's Speak Now is set for release on Oct. 25. Susan Boyle's The Gift is due on Nov. 9. Swift's sophomore album, Fearless, sold 3 million copies in its first 22 weeks in late 2008 and early 2009. Boyle's debut album, I Dreamed A Dream, blew through 3 million copies in its first six weeks in late 2009.

Billboard 200:
Recovery - 6
Relapse - 93
Curtain Call - 102

Hot 100:
LTWYL - 3
NA - 19

[AJS2050]

Relapse is up 3 places this week and Curtain Call up 13 places. He could have 3 albums in the top 100 next week!

2010 Sales:

120,592 - CURTAIN CALL: THE HITS - Eminem
322,453 - RELAPSE - Eminem

Curtain Call sold 130k in 2009, looking at easily over 130k once again, this could reach 4x platinum by the end of the decade.

Greatest Hits Albums tend to do that. He probably needs two more solo albums and a few new songs put on it for a 2nd greatest hits album. Assuming 3 songs from each album and then 3 new songs put on it for 15 tracks.
