Albums Sales Hit Soundscan Era Low Again
Eminem toppled Arcade Fire to hold the number one album in the country again this week. It wouldn't take being a soothsayer to know that was going to happen. But Arcade Fire were able to hold strong at number two, largely owing to the fact that this week's sales were the worst (again) of the SoundScan era, as 4.95 million albums were sold. That number is still pretty huge, but given NSync used to be able to do close to those numbers in a week, sales have dropped off a bit. Just think: Only one in 60 Americans bought an album this week.
