is there a list of the top 100 online somewhere and their total sales?

Yeah here:

Although its just estimates and nothing is 100% official. There are a few older tracks missing such as White Christmas which should be 1st or 2nd.

they have like a sales prediction thing sorta, but where they show sales with a certain percentage counted, usually like halfway through the week, so it it's like 30k with 50% counted, it's easy to estimate the week to be 60k for example, sometimes people post the partial numbers, hope that helped

Taylor Swift is selling too good

Eminem is on the verge of becoming the first artist to have the year's best-selling album twice since Nielsen/SoundScan began tracking sales for Billboard in 1991. With just three weeks to go in the chart year, Eminem's seventh album, Recovery, has a solid lead as the year's best-selling album. The rap star's third album, The Eminem Show, was the best-seller of 2002.

Recovery has sold 3,146,000 copies since its release in June. That's nearly as many copies as last year's sales champ, Taylor Swift's Fearless, sold in the entire calendar year (3,217,000). The total for Recovery includes 759,000 digital copies. That's more digital copies than any album has ever sold in a calendar year. The old record was held by Coldplay's Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends, which sold 617,000 digital copies in 2008.

Recovery has headed Nielsen/SoundScan's year-to-date chart since Sept. 26, when it pulled ahead of Lady Antebellum's Need You Now. That country/pop smash is #2 for the year-to-date. Taylor Swift's Speak Now is #3. This marks the third time in Nielsen/SoundScan history that country acts have been responsible for two of the year's top three albums. Billy Ray Cyrus' Some Gave All and Garth Brooks' Ropin' The Wind were the top two albums of 1992. Rascal Flatts' Me And My Gang and Carrie Underwood's Some Hearts ranked #2 and #3, respectively, for 2006
