Eminem Rocks The Charts

The record album distributed 195,000 copies during the week ended July 18, taking its total to 1.5 million. He gets the first artist to log a four-week stretch at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 since Susan Boyle began a six-week stint in November.
No doubt “Recovery’s” continued winner is assisted by its hit single “Love The Way You Lie” (featuring Rihanna), which will acquire the No. 1 spot when the Hot 100 is released on Thursday.

It will mark the beginning back-to-back Hot 100 chart-toppers of his career. The album’s first single, “Not Afraid,” became to No. 1 in May. In all, Eminem has exceeded the Hot 100 four times. The greatest debut on the Billboard 20 and first of six entries in the top 10 came from Korn’s “Korn III Remember Who You Are,” which began at No. 2 with 63,000. The rock band’s last album, 2007′s “Untitled,” debuted and pointed at No. 2 with 123,000 sold in its first week. The last to arrive at the top ten came from M.I.A’s “Maya” that started at No.9 and she sold around 29,000 copies.

The Twilight fans made it possible for The soundtrack to “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” to reach number 6 and at least 28,000 copies have been sold. This could change for Twilight as Eclipse is still in the movies right now and going on strong.
