May 20, 2009 at 12:40 a.m.

May 20, 2009 at 12:40 a.m.

1.2 Million with out a doubt. The leak won't hurt sales, to many fans. iTunes top 2 albums are the Deluxe Version and the Regular version as of 8AM this morning. Eminem Show, Encore, Marshal Mathers LP are all in the top 100 with this realease as well. Add those up close to 1.5

May 20, 2009 at 12:40 a.m.

2billion

May 20, 2009 at 1:40 p.m.

hmmm.....1.3 million in 1st week...

May 20, 2009 at 1:40 p.m.

yeah its #1 in 20 countries right now soo, that is already answered!...reports are sayin its already done 175,000 in austraila alone and over 100,000 in the U.S.......plus all the other countries, and thats in like 1-2 days.

over a million first week!
the biggest rap album so far this year was rick ross, and he did 158k!

if u dont think eminem can sell easily 10 times as much as an artist who has never gone platinum, then your high right now!

the only thing hurtin sales is all the people who pre-ordered it, because them numbers usually take a while to process!

anyways #1 and 1.5 mill first week! sorry for all the other BS i was just spittin some knowledge!

May 20, 2009 at 1:41 p.m.

#1 - diamond on its first week (10,000,000)

May 20, 2009 at 1:41 p.m.

#1- 1.5 million easy.... I bought it already and haven't stopped listening to it.... SO LYRICAL

May 20, 2009 at 1:41 p.m.

1,165,000

May 20, 2009 at 1:41 p.m.

#1 - 1 500 000+ (AT LEAST 1.5 MILL) Biggest album of the year (but Relapse II might be better)
God i've been waiting forever for this Album ... finally came out. I bought it first day.

Eminem is the greatest.

May 20, 2009 at 1:42 p.m.

it only going to sell 500,000 copies overall eminem can never touch the carter 3 best rap album ever and weezy best rapper alive period. Also eminem doesnt even care about his fans he takes about 50 years of and then comes out with a album lil wayne comes out with new songs everyday.

May 20, 2009 at 1:43 p.m.

105,675,121 copies sold first day, #1 in the charts

May 20, 2009 at 1:43 p.m.

18 copies 42 by end of the month

May 20, 2009 at 1:44 p.m.

a good 2 millions first week. MMLP did it easy and the previous album before it was a year before, which is relatively short; of course SSLP built the hype and the anger to see what the angry blonde had to say, but now the contrary happened: five years without hearing none new material, his fan base is starving. And some people might buy many copies at once, so the album's gonna sell in frenzies.

May 20, 2009 at 4:24 p.m.

i say between 600,000 to 800,000 1st week
3.9 million overall

May 20, 2009 at 4:24 p.m.

I hate lil wayne fans always riding on his jock

May 20, 2009 at 4:24 p.m.

May 20, 2009 at 4:25 p.m.

Lil Wayne is garbage. Anyone who compares him to Eminem knows nothing about hip hop. Period!!!!!

May 20, 2009 at 9:33 p.m.

May 20, 2009 at 9:35 p.m.

#1 and about 1.3 million sales domestically.

May 20, 2009 at 9:36 p.m.

hes definitly going to do atleast a mil in the first week. to many faithful fans and to the fans he lots from encore, theyl come back just out of curiosity. and the reason lil wayne lets out new songs every day is because he doesnt say anything in his music that actually means something. its all about money blah blah im the best blah blah. people want to hear music they can relate to more and that is what eminem offers. so yes wayne does let out songs like a beast but about 1 in 20 of them are even decent.

May 21, 2009 at 2:09 a.m.

I just don't understand that people compare Wayne to Em....Wayne never beat the MMLP that was 1,7 mill in a week.....and the Carter III sold what 3 Mill since today.......Em's 5 previous albums = 33 millions copies sold....somebody tell me the resemblance?

May 21, 2009 at 3:13 a.m.
