Eminem is expected to release his album, 'Marshall Mathers LP 2,' on November 5, 2013. His last album, 'Recovery,' opened with 741,000 and dropped to 313,000 in its second week.

Gaga is expected to release her album, 'ARTPOP,' on November 11, 2013. Her last album, 'Born This Way,' opened with 1,108,000 and dropped to 174,000 in its second week.

Will Eminem remain at #1 for a second week to block Gaga's debut week, or will she emerge with the top-selling album out of the two for that week?

Discuss.

With artpop's pre-orders it shouldnt be a problem to top that chart..

[Hector]

Gaga.

[Nɑɑji.. ©]

No.

[Fenty The Great]

Eminem poses a significant threat to be honest

[mikeyace16]

Eminem will block ha

[OurLuckyStrike]

I don't think he'll block her.... but then again, I said the same about Roar.

[iLays]

Yeah

[mariska]

If it was the same week it'd be Eminem fosho, but the pre-orders should keep it up tbh.

Omg @ Gaga possibly getting snubbed from both a #1 Single/Album this era.

Rap Sales always have unusually high weeks, and Eminem is like the KING of Rap Sales. I mean if Kanye could do 350k with no promo, and Jay-Z could do around 500k with promo....


Edit: Oh nvm, she's going against 2nd week sales. She's probably got it.

[Katy V.!]

We'll have to see how does "Berzerk" performs. If it pulls a "Not Afraid" it will easily block Gaga.

[gerardsuxx]

Since Applause is flopping on the US maybe Eminem will block ha

[UnMutedOne]

Even if Gaga is lucky enough to narrowly nab a #1, she won't get a second week there. He'll most likely topple her second week and reclaim the top spot.

[Maleficent]

She'll probably get #1 but Eminem should never be underestimated.

[Jolie's Lips]

Interesting hmm...

ARTPOP's per-orders have been relatively weak/underwhelming... I still think she'll be able to top Eminem's 2nd week.

[Disturbia]

Gaga will get it easely. Don't forget that she'll have any pre-orders by the release day alone.

[Cola.drinker]

It depends on the material Eminem will serve, but he has higher chance to get it now imho.

He needs to push his release back a week
