Billboard is reporting that when this week's sales data are all counted, Eminem looks set to sell over 600,000 copies of his new album Recovery in its opening week in stores. This would put the set well ahead of Sade's Soldier Of Love for the best sales week of the year so far. Eminem even looks in striking distance of the opening week sales of last year's Relapse which totaled 608,000.
Eminem is the biggest selling album artist of the past decade, and he is no slouch so far in the 2010s. Recovery will be the rapper's sixth consecutive #1 debut. Recovery is buoyed by the single "Not Afraid" which has already reached #1 and "Love the Way You Lie," a new single featuring vocals from Rihanna which is currently sitting at #1 on the iTunes chart.
