Eminem might be #1 for at least the next two weeks. Almost 200k in the fourth week? This is doing way better than Relapse.

Anyone have the WEAkend chart?

You just couldn't resist, could you?

YM8 posted the weakend chart.

Eminem (Shady/Aftermath/Interscope) 180-190k

Oh yes. And it will continue to do a lot better than Relapse because there are a lot of possible singles on the album, plus the current single which is dominating.

Drake's sales aren't holding up well

shouldnt have released so close to Em...
he is doing great
its just Em is doing incredible

dont worry he has some promotion coming up

miss me video coming soon !!!!!! fancy single gonna be released after and fancy video ! so its not over its far from over :P

Oops, blind!

Thanks.

GaGa another week in the top 10!

This will be week 49 according to Paul at Yahoo.

I agree, but he's still has good numbers. I think first few weeks were good for him because of the anticipation and hype; now promotion and hits will keep this album afloat.

Relapse - First Four Weeks

Usher ^_^

RvR is certified platinum but he hasn't sold 1 million yet. He will though before the rerelease

Rated R is back to 59 this week

And Relapse had promotion which Recovery do not have right now

I already said this will go 2xP faster, with LTWYL smashin' and more smash hits on the album, this is on track to sell 2.5-3m.

That's because "Recovery" has had two actual hit singles so far. "Relapse" never had a single one (I'm sorry, but "Crack a Bottle" does not count).

You're completely right

Not Afraid & Love the Way You Lie both have longetivity to back them up & support album sales. None of Relapse's singles had longetivity, in fact they even had terrible longetivity. CAB was released three months before Relapse & that song freefell after its huge first week. WMY didn't make any impact on sales IMO.
