Eminem's Chart History : Singles/Albums

[nathan123]

AJ, what would Eminems sales be in the UK (total) and where would he rank in all time selling lists I mean he's sold bucket loads over here

[AJS2050]

Top 15 in the Best selling singles artists. Not to sure about albums artist though. Around 9 million singles sold in the UK.

Done some research
Estimations:

The Slim Shady LP: ~900k
Marshall Mathers: ~2,300,000
The Eminem Show: ~1,600,000
Encore: ~1,000,000
Curtain Call: ~1,200,000
Relapse - 850, 000
Recovery - 1, 000, 000

= ~8.450,000+

That's not including 8 mile soundtrack or re-up or he'll the sequel
I'd say his albums would be near 10 mill, where would he rank then do you think?

I found a recent list from a couple of years ago. Looks like Eminem is above Elvis in UK album sales. So around 17th best selling album artist ever in the UK.

14 - Rod Stewart - 8,804,000
15 - Dire Straits - 8,730,000
16 - George Michael - 8,708,000
17 - Take That - 8,171,000
18 - Elvis Presley - 7,318,000

Wow that is impressive, I can see mmlp2 doing a million aswell so that'll push it on up

[AJS2050]

Yeah and with his older albums selling he could be close or possibly enter the top 10 by this time next year.

Unbelievable I've got a good feeling that this album is going to be huge

Rap God debuted at #7 on Billboard Hot 100 and this means Em has three top 20 singles from MMLP2 already and it's not even out yet.

Recovery had two (Not Afraid & LTWYL). No Love just missed out at #23

Berzerk - #3
Rap God - #7
Survival - #17

The Rihanna track will obviously be another one, 100% certain to be top 5 probably better.... HEADLIGHTS will chart high I think and the Kendrick track will probably do really well on iTunes because it's highly anticipated.

[nathan123]

One mic, If they time the monster video well i can see that selling 400-450k first week which would guarantee number 1

[One Mic]

SURVIVAL debuted at #22 today on the official UK Charts. Fucking strange time to release it when it came out like 2 months ago but there you go. Have updated the first page

MMLP2 songs on UK Charts: (peak positions)
Berzerk - #2
Rap God - #5
Survival - #22

Yeah and they released it on a Thursday which only allows it 3 days to chart.

[One Mic]

Did they? That is really impressive then.

Sometimes I feel like the label haven't got a clue at times. If you're gonna wait 2 months to release a song in a specific country that has been released everywhere else worldwide, why do it on a Thursday smh?

I wonder if it will peak higher though. #14 on iTunes right now

[AJS2050]

Survival would be improving on it's highest position in the UK this week but it has been removed and banned from charting due to the fact that so many promo songs have been released.

[AJS2050]

It's a shame they have banned Survival, Berzerk and Rap God in the UK chart as Survival sold enough to jump into the top 10 this week!

UK Chart

Eminem and Rihanna each score their eighth number one single as their latest collaboration, The Monster - a highly appropriate title for Halloween week - scares up enough sales to debut at the chart summit, despite giving its rivals a head start by not reaching download sites until last Tuesday (29th). The track is the fourth single in as many weeks from Eminem's new album, The Marshall Mathers LP 2, which was released today (4th). All three previous hits from the album were deemed to be instant gratification tracks as of last week, so they have all departed the chart, despite continuing to sell well.

Rihanna's 43rd Top 75 entry, and Eminem's 42nd (including five as a member of D12), The Monster sold 74,674 copies last week, and surpasses the chart peak of their previous collaboration Love The Way You Life, which reached number two in 2010 and never sold more than 68,354 copies in a week but spent 14 weeks in the Top 10, 48 weeks in the Top 75 and has thus far sold 1,150,927 copies, becoming Rihanna's second biggest seller (behind We Found Love's 1,320,708) and Eminem's biggest, ahead of Lose Yourself (891,984 sales). It spends its 99th week in the Top 200 this week, re-entering at number 185 (1,075 sales). The Monster replaces Lorde's debut hit, Royals, which dips to number two (59,903 sales).
