Eminem Sales Thread

[infinite2hts]

recovery did 313000 second week. so i think its pretty much possible to outsell gaga. and it will be legendary if he does

[Zeek]

Lady Gaga will probably cry if that happens. Oooh and her fans my god it will be an outrage worldwide.

From Billboard:

Lady Gaga's new album "ARTPOP" is aiming for No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Industry sources forecast the diva's latest release to sell around 260,000 copies by the end of the tracking week on Sunday, Nov. 17.

That sum should be enough to take over the No. 1 slot from Eminem's "The Marshall Mathers LP 2," which debuted atop the list this week with 792,000 sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

doesnt look like Em will get #1
rememeber sales are much worse than in 2010

They don't have any number for Eminem so they're just guessing. However.. I really hope Em will block her. There are a few interviews coming so it should be cool.. Idk

[Grady]

I'm just gonna assume Billboard are guessing or don't have any good projections to go on atm. Em's 2nd week drops are ALWAYS relatively low. Even his biggest drop (Relapse, 65%) is still better than most artists' drops. I think Gaga will outdo her predictions but I also think Em will sell at least 300k. Any less just doesn't make sense with Em's history and The Monster blowing up everywhere.

I hope the best

Anyone remember when Recovery's 5th week outsold Rick Ross's album?

I thought about that earlier. THAT was funny.

[Zeek]

Rick Ross even went out and said he had the number 1 album in the country off the estimates. Then it turned out that Em blocked him. Too funny.

[Hamza1972]

still no WW sales update...

If Gaga is doing 260k there is NO WAY, and I MEAN NO WAY Em will do less than that, how huge a drop must he take for it to sell less than this in it's second week? I think Billboard are talking out their ass

Yeah! Recovery first week was a 741,000 FULL (7 days) week, and after a 313,000 second week
MMLP2 has sold 792,000 in a 6 days first week! I think, yeah probably 320,000+ in the second week

[Zeek]

Those Gaga fans on Billboard will go crazy if Eminem blocks her from nr1.

[Zeek]

The worldwide numbers should be out friday night.

[Ku53v]

I hope billboard is wrong, the drop would be huge.

[Mikey1990]

20/20 Experience sold 210,000 2nd week
NWTS sold 147,000 2nd week
i think Em will do 200-250k
albums are having huge 2nd week drops this year

[Zeek]

Lets hope he atleast get to go platinum in his second week.
