Eminem Sales Thread

[Mathers]

YOUR NEW RELEASES: Looks like Eminem will return to #1 next week; as you've probably guessed, the Aftermath/Interscope superstar has already crossed the 1 million sales threshold. But let's talk about this week's key debuts.

Five Finger Death Punch (Prospect Park) 75-80k
Hunger Games: Catching Fire (Republic) 60-65k
Daughtry (19/RCA) 55-60k
Yo Gotti (RCA) 40-45k
Nickelback (Roadrunner) 12-15k

Five Finger Death Punch's newest is the sequel to their The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell. Which kind of captures the mood around here on print deadline.

ima guess at 130-160k for MMLP2

kind of saw that he was heading back to no.1, but I just hope he sells more than what you guessed, it's too low :/

How much were you expecting?

[Mathers]

if you mean 2nd week, I did not even think it's possible he'd do under 300k, but if you mean next week 180 is fair, it would be bae to sell less than that, I know thd industry is in a crisis, but he's still Eminem!

He won't do big numbers forever, like you said the industry's getting worse every year.

Agree. “he’s Eminem” yeah we all know so that’s why he can still open with 792k copies...but he can’t always remain his highest standard......180k third week is almost a dream lol...that means he is on par with Recovery standard commercially, but actually he is not.

Whenever The Monster video comes out, it's gonna play a big role in MMLP2's longevity. Radio plays will be bigger, more requests, views on Youtube and shit..

[Mikey1990]

Eminem going platinum in 2 weeks in 2013 ia a very good achievement
