[dbeauluvswomen]

I didn't know pre-orders aren't included for the first week. I'm sure he sold a lot that way.

^ easier said than done, but yeah, it's best to just let it go.

I'm looking forward to Wayne's new album and see how well he'll do with it. If Wayne's sales are more than Em's, Hip hop is in the state of 911.

Why the hell are people moaning for, clearly sales in music are hugely down in comparison to when his previous albums were out & the adding of a reccession + leak, 600k is pretty dam good!

Carter 3 had to deal with all of those things aswell, but it still sold more

Nothing to do with his songs being so mainstream you could have played any of them in the club/radio?

Lil Wayne finally found the formula that many rappers had found before to atleast have 1 summer of large popularity.

Em put out his least commercial album to date. Even his lead single talks about taking drugs and killing a mass of people. How much of Relapse has the caution and safety factors to be played in the club/radio?

Still with that said, Em still gets highest selling first week sales of the year with a CD full of filth after so many years out.

I don't like the whole Em lost/Wayne lost thing.. But with that said..

[Shady'baby.]

He still lost to wayne, no matter which way and how you look at it, and yeah tho your right ems album wasnt that commercial

[TriRepo]

wow, you are complaining about the numbers? That's a fucking lot of money???
C'mon, he doesn't even need to prove anything with his album sales anymore? He has done enough sales since the medieval age and now when the piracy is the thing, people download Em's music cuz everyone knows him...

Wait, i've just gone in to detail why he sold more, and you've just blown it off by saying "no matter which way and how you look at it". That just sounds like you want Wayne to win, and you won't hear anything else.

[Shady'baby.]

No i hate wayne, but the fact is that Wayne sold more, thats just it u cant say anything to change that, it doesnt matter why he sold more its about the fact that he DID

Waynes new album = rock man

600.000+ is very good in this age

Very true, i mean look how much the rest of the albums on that chart are selling; Green Day is the only album to even get into the hundreds of thousand figures and even then Eminem's still a good 400 000+ ahead of them.

And stop comparing him to Lil Wayne. It's not a fucking competition. Lil Wayne is bound to sell more as he's the most commercial rapper of possibly all time.

[Evil-Genius]

Lol @ busta I thou Em will do a mil !
But 600k compared to others is amazing

[Dragonleader33]

I didnt realize people were at war with these numbers. Whatever happened to the music? To the people saying that Wayne had to deal with the same issues we have today is pretty much lying to themselves. Do some real research and see how many people lost their jobs from the time he released his album to today. You think those numbers have no difference at all? People are blind. Listen to the music people.
