Someone posted about the UWC in the EMAs thread and it prompted me to look into the likelihood of The Fame Monster being the number one selling album of the year..... and I think that it might just do it
The Fame Monster: 5,801,000
Recovery: 5,045,000
Those are the current totals and with there only being 7 weeks left then Eminem would need to outsell Gaga by >100k per week which clearly isn't going to happen, and the only other competition is SuBo & MJ but I doubt that SuBo will have a repeat of her success last year and MJ only has two/three weeks to sell in
