UK Friday Update: (with sales)

Singles:

1 Storm Queen - Look Right Through 84.2k
2 Eminem feat. Rihanna - The Monster 69.9k
3 Little Mix - Move 62.7k

Albums:

1 Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP 2 110.4k
2 James Arthur - James Arthur 50.4k

Surprised The Monster isn't still number 1. It's been atop iTunes for most of the week and has another version in the top 30. Storm Queen must be doing well on other download websites.

MMLP2 should be able to reach the 150k mark in the UK. Going to be close to being the fastest seller of the year.

As reported earlier, Eminem's "The Marshall Mathers LP 2" album is unstoppable, as it will easily debut at No. 1 next week's Billboard 200 with the second-largest sales week of the year. Industry sources say the set could sell around 750,000 by the end of the tracking week on Sunday, Nov. 10.

On SoundScan's Building chart (below), Eminem is No. 1, while Lavigne and Dion are Nos. 4 and 6, respectively. The Building tally is a precursor to the final Billboard 200 ranking. The Building Chart reflects the first four days (Monday through Thursday) of SoundScan's tracking week (which ends Sunday) as reported by six major merchants: iTunes, Trans World Entertainment, Best Buy, Starbucks, Target and Anderson Merchandisers. Billboard estimates that they make up about 85% of all U.S. album sales.

Also, this Billboard article says The Monster sold 327,000 copies first week. At first they reported sales of 117,000 for "Survival" & then 112,000 in another article, the latter of which turned out to be true after we got the second week + overall sales figures...

"The Monster," featuring Rihanna, opens at No. 1 as it exploded across all three of the chart's metrics in its first week of availability. According to Nielsen BDS, the cut reached 36.6 million listeners in the Oct. 30 -­ Nov. 5 tracking week and earned 2.3 million U.S. streams Oct. 28 -­ Nov. 3. Digitally, it sold 327,000 first-week downloads, according to Nielsen SoundScan, enough for a No. 1 debut on R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Songs and Rap Digital Songs

I thought 327,000 is perhaps more practical, for I remember they predicted it "to sell more than 300,000 copies by the end of the week", they didn't predict "near 400,000"or something like "above 350,000", so 327,000 might be the real figure.

2.5-2.6 million by the end of the year is possible in the US?
