that's pretty awesome, imo.i mean like in this economy & given that hip hop sales in general aren't what they were when Em first debuted, those are great numbers to me.how much did Wayne sell his first week?Em should reach platinum status, 2x might be pushing it; but you never know, it's only been a week.
Yeah that is low for Shady. I take into consideration the state of the music biz and 50 even with the crazy buzz he got with the whole Kanye thing did almost 690k 1st week. It will be interesting to see how he does in the next couple of weeks, still has time to do good numbers.

Shows how much downloading has changed the industry but I have a feeling his numbers would have been lower anyways. He's been gone for a minute, people taste's have changed, and none of his singles were true radio bangers. The most played one was We Made You. Based on those freestyles I'm looking forward to his future stuff more then I have enjoyed relapse. I could feel him having fun on that Chonkyfire freestyle. I actually think they should use that chorus for a track. "i got you slipping on my swag juice." That shit is on constant rotation.

He will however easily hit 1.5 mill, maybe 2 mill or more depending on how much success other singles get but yeh i agree with your post.
