The hip-hop superstar’s four straight weeks at #1 with his Shady/Aftermath/ Interscope album Recovery is being threatened this week by Def Jam/IDJ
With placement in Target and Best Buy circulars, Eminem’s Recovery, off just 15% this week, is in the early lead, but the outcome is still very much in doubt.
That’s according to one-day sales reports from those retailers whose doors are still open and air conditioners whirring. As Springsteen puts it, “Is anybody alive out there?”
Next highest debut is A&M’s Sheryl Crow roots blues album, 100 Miles from
Walt Disney’s Jonas Brothers Jonas L.A. album, the soundtrack to their TV series, should do around 35-40k.
Finally, Razor & Tie’s cottage industry, the 18th edition of Kidz Bop Kids, will bow with between 35-40k
The market was flat vs. last week, down 23% vs. same week last year (still in the throes of Michael-mania) and remains down 12% year to date.
Wonder what Mel Gibson would have to say about that.
