eminem's single sales havent been too frontloaded anyways!

Not Afraid did pretty on its 1st week, it was an awesome quantity that year

True. His only front-loaded single was Crack A Bottle. NA and LTWYL have had amazing longevity.

I don't remember how that song goes at all. The melody or a single line.

This is on his website, so its definitely coming tonight midnight i suppose!!

But his new song sounds extremely accessible & commercial (based on preview that had the chorus so IDK about verses), so I think it will outperform Not Afraid. And he was coming off of Relapse last time & still did amazing, imagine him coming off of the Recovery era.

On top of all that, he has comeback hype. He's been in music industry hiding for 2 years.

We ain't ready for King Em.

You are probably right, but I tell you something he is the only main artist in years who brings out now an

aggressive style to the public, the kids could eat it up, massive.

it was good, but it wasnt extraordinary!

so with Berserk is am expecting ~450K this week, and depending on the response and Katy's competition.. he might keep holding on to that #1

It's good to be conservative on estimates as I learned this month.

7. Same Love (feat. Mary Lambert) - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

I hope it keeps these sales for the whole week so it can have a chance for the top 10.

23. Take Back the Night - Justin Timberlake

This is doing better than I thought. I actually enjoy this song a bit, even though I drag it from time to time.

Mess. The Top 100 on iTunes is filled with JT. Did Beyonce's older songs go Top 100?

2 more versions are charting:

394. Justin Timberlake - Take Back the Night
546. Justin Timberlake - Take Back the Night

Very likely a top 22 smash combined.

Do you think he should release a new song before 9/30? Either as just a promo single or an official single?

[Starkboy]

Tomorrow's!

Avril Lavigne - Rock N Roll
Big Sean - Hall Of Fame



13. Justin Timberlake - Mirrors

I think it depends on radio. If they still support TBTN, release a promo single, if not new single.
September 10th/17th, imo.
