Encore had like the smallest (negligible) drop ......very small as usually albums drop 50%

^ that's because the first week only it had only 3 days

anyway, lol@Eminem name all over that list
Jay-Z has 13 #1 albums and not on the list once

[Mikey1990]

they should release space bound to pop radio at end of november

It's safe to say that Encore's first FULL week easily exceeds Taylor Swift's tally (1.045 million) and 50 Cent's Massacre (~1.2 million).

Encore did ~1.5 million in ~10 days...

When I was “CLEANING OUT MY CLOSET, I found an old CD of Eminem aka “THE REAL SLIM SHADY”. I started listening to it and “SANG FOR THE MOMENT”. I have always been a “STAN” of Eminem and WITHOUT HIM(ME) I think I might LOSE MYSELF(YOURSELF). And, “TILL I COLLAPSE” I want to fly like a “MOCKING BIRD” or even better as “SUPERMAN, because “WHEN IM GONE” I want to let everyone know that my life was “BEAUTIFUL”. I am “NOT AFRAID” to hit “ROCK BOTTOM” because I was born “LIKE A TOY SOLIDER”

I wanna se taylors second week sales.

65% drop i think

Chart Watch

Eminem's "Not Afraid" tops the 3 million mark in paid downloads. It's Eminem's fourth hit to reach this plateau, following "Love The Way You Lie" (with Rihanna, 3,763,000), "Lose Yourself" (3,055,000) and Akon's "Smack That" (3,015,000). All four of these songs have topped the 3 million mark in the past two months.

Swift and Eminem are both vying to become the first artist in Nielsen/SoundScan history to have the year's top-selling album twice. Eminem previously led the field in 2002 with The Eminem Show. Swift was on top last year with Fearless.

wow Not Afraid already over 3 millions ~ yess
LTWYL 4 millions soon

[Bistnal]

This could be interesting between Em & Swift. I hope Em will edge her out, but with her pop base, I wouldn't be surprised if in the next two months, especially with holidays coming, she beats out Recovery. And that's impressive for his singles- LTWYL just under 4 million.

[Alaine]

^ well honestly if they're close I think Em won't have it, he always has real tough luck with little things like this, like this week for example, he's 1k away from the 2.9 mark, or those 2 weeks where Recovery #2 on BB because it sold less than 4k from the #1

[Bistnal]

^True, you have a point. I've noticed he's always JUST under. But we'll just watch and see how he does.

[slicknickshady]

Recovery will get it. It will be close though.

2,898,620 for Recovery so far.
