Even if CG didn't return to the Top 40, LTWYL would have missed the #1 with 7K points. So close.
Thinking about it, Eminem could have gotten the #1 song of the year and #1 album of the year if he released Recovery only one week earlier. This darn week.
He can still have #1 album of the year. Mediatraffic does only estimations, just like HDD. The official & real worldwide database is IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry). Unlike Mediatraffic they tracks album sales from Jan 1st - Dec 31st including this week and they will reveal the final number in early January, after all copies could actually sell till the LAST day.
It's just that Lady Gaga took the info from one far from accurate site and proclaimed herself to have the best selling album so dozens of news agencies took this info without trying to verify how accurate it is. Do you know what's ironic? If it was vice versa and Eminem proclaimed himself to have the best selling album two weeks before the end of the year and one of the weeks would be the powerful X-mas week, her fans would go crazy. They would call him a cheater and complain everywhere.
