Yahoo - Paul Grein:

Recovery logs its third week at #1 on The Billboard 200. It's the first rap album to spend its first three weeks at #1 since 50 Cent's The Massacre spent its first six weeks on top in the spring of 2005.

Eminem's current single, "Love The Way You Lie" (featuring Rihanna), holds at #1 on Hot Digital Songs for the third straight week. The smash sold 314,000 copies, bringing its three-week total to 936,000.

"Not Afraid," which has sold 1,750,000 copies in 10 weeks, has the anthemic, inspirational appeal of Eminem's biggest hit, 2002's "Lose Yourself," which has sold 2,830,000 copies.

Recovery sold 60,000 digital copies this week, bringing its three-week total to 397,000. No album has ever sold that many digital copies in just three weeks. After three weeks, Coldplay's Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends had sold 394,000.

Recovery is already #9 on the list of all-time top digital album sellers. It's the #1 rap title on the list, dethroning Jay-Z's The Blueprint 3, which has sold 380,000 digital copies.
