9k is kinda to much for HHD to be wrong about, I mean, it wouldn't be the first time they were wrong but 9k will be a new record!

I really hope Billboard disagrees with the Top 2, Arcade Fire deserves it.

They don't have to be off by 9k for one individual artist.
If Eminem's total is actually 5k lower, and Arcade Fire's is 5k higher - then it still makes up the difference.
And there are has been more than one occasion where there estimate is off by more than 10k, either too high, or too low.

This is definitely not the first time HDD was off. They have been off many times.
I think 9k is a pretty close call. Soundscan may have them in the same range. I wouldn't be surprised if Em and AF were only a couple of thousand copies away from each other.

Eminem's "Recovery" holds at No. 2 with 152,000 (down 4%).
So, they were about 4k from each other. They under-counted for AF, but was right on the mark for Eminem.

Lady Gaga's "The Remix" is the next-biggest bow, landing at No. 6 with 39,000.
It's great that it went top 10 but it's annoying that it just missed out on the top 5 :-/

Both the Billboard 200 and the Digital Songs charts greet fresh No. 1s this week, as Arcade Fire's new album "The Suburbs" bows atop the former list with 156,000 sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Back on the albums chart, "The Suburbs" gives Arcade Fire its first No. 1, surpassing the Montreal band's previous high of No. 2 when 2007's "Neon Bible" arrived with 92,000.
"Suburbs" reaped the benefits of a week-long sale in Amazon's MP3 store, where it was priced at $3.99. Apple's iTunes Store offered the set for a standard $9.99. While SoundScan's data does not reveal how many were sold only through Amazon's MP3 store, downloads from all retailers made up 62% of the album's first week (97,000 downloads out of 156,000 total sales). Comparably, "Neon Bible" saw 30% of its first week come from digital sales (27,000 of its 92,000 opening frame).
"Suburbs" is the third independently-distributed No. 1 on the Billboard 200 this year, following chart-topping bows from Vampire Weekend's "Contra" and the various artists compilation "Hope For Haiti Now."
Last week's Billboard 200 No. 1, Avenged Sevenfold's "Nightmare," falls to No. 3 with 45,000 (down 72%). Eminem's "Recovery" holds at No. 2 with 152,000 (down 4%).
Three more new entries grace the albums chart's top 10 this week. The first comes courtesy of Bun B with "Trill O.G." starting at No. 4 with 41,000. It's the rapper's first release distributed through Universal's indie arm Fontana, after his last two came via Asylum/Warner Bros. His previous album, 2008's "Il Trill," debuted and peaked at No. 2 with 98,000.
Lady Gaga's "The Remix" is the next-biggest bow, landing at No. 6 with 39,000. It's the first remix set to reach the top 10 since the "Hannah Montana 2: Non-Stop Dance Party" album debuted and peaked at No. 7 on the chart dated Feb. 16, 2008. Gaga's album boasts 10 remixes (five of which were previously commercially released) by the likes of Stuart Price and FrankMusik.
Buckcherry's "All Night Long" is the final top 10 bow, as it grabs a No. 10 entry with 28,000. It's the rock band's first studio set since 2008's "Black Butterfly," which flew in at No. 8 with 47,000.
As for the rest of the top 10 this week, Rick Ross' "Teflon Don" slips two rungs to No. 5 (39,000; down 37%), Justin Bieber's "My World 2.0" tumbles three to No. 7 (37,000; down 2%), Drake's "Thank Me Later" drops three slots as well to No. 8 (31,000; down 9%). The final holdover in the top 10 this week is Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now," descending two positions to No. 9 (29,000; though it's up 4%).
Overall album sales in this past chart week (ending Aug. 8) totaled 5.26 million units, up 1% compared to the sum last week (5.21 million) and down 13% compared to the comparable sales week of 2009 (6.04 million). Year to date album sales stand at 180.2 million, down 12% compared to the same total at this point last year (205.3 million).

Wow, impressive!
Em's selling power is amazing. Recovery is outselling what was supposed to be his comeback album. Interesting.
