Em's first week sales??? all albums

Postby Alexander09 » Jun 7th, '09, 23:07

can someone post the first week sales for all albums please?? just curious to know them in comparison. there's many reasons for his sales not like they used to be, but they're actually great. but us, as fans, expected mind blowing numbers or atleast something better than wayne's garbage. HE DID NOT DO BAD, JUST NOT AS GOOD AS WE'D HOPED FOR (again there are many reasons to that as well)

first weeks sales to SSLP, MMLP, TES, E,.... anyone?

and for those who misread this or have dumb ass opinions, save it u cock munchers.

For the US:

1. The Slim Shady LP (I don't really know... I remember it was 400-700 K. Decent numbers back then.)

2. The Marshall Mathers LP (1.73 Million)

3. The Eminem Show (1.3 Million. The release date was pushed foward due to bootlegging so if it did not leak before, the sales would have been higher. Probably even matching the MMLP sales.)

4. Encore (700 K. The release date was also pushed foward to a Friday. Because they count first week sales of albums every Sunday, Encore sold 700 K in three days. If it had one week and it was not bootlegged, the sales would have been more than double 700 K. Think about that.)

5. Relapse (600 K. As usual, it was bootlegged. Who knows how much it WOULDV'E sold?)

I don't know if the leak really caused Relapse to sell less, it may even have let it sell more. I mean people started hesitating about buying Relapse after they heard the first 3-5 singles. When the album leaked it turned out to have some sick songs.
