Official First Week Sales of Eminem's 'Marshall Mathers LP 2'

It has done a full week in stores, and Eminem's 7th studio album, 'The Marshall Mathers LP2' sold 793,000 copies first week. Impressive. Last week, I predicted it would sell between 800-950k first week, so I am not too far off. Looking at the structures of most of the songs on this album, I think he is going to sell about 5 million copies in the end. He has a lot of radio friendly songs on the album, and once he starts shooting videos for them, the album would keep selling hundreds of thousands weekly for the next couple of months.

He has just two videos from the album (one was meant to promote a video game), but four songs from the album are already in the top 20 songs on Billboard Hot 100 Chart. By the time he shoots the video for The Monster (feat Rihanna), it will be over for all competition.  People would say he went too pop for this album, but can we deny the fact that he is rapping his ass off on every song on the album. Like he said on 'Rap god'- "'Oh, he's too mainstream', well, that's what they do when they get jealous, they confuse it. 'it's not hip hop, it's pop.' Cos I found a hella way to fuse it.'
