Eminem's Recovery Beats Out Rick Ross' Teflon Don For The #1 Spot

by MrWhiteFolks on July 28th, 2010

http://media.defsounds.com/uploads/assets/2344/2428/36966/asset.jpegDespite previous reports, Eminem still reigns supreme on the charts, stopping Rick Ross from achieving his 4th number 1 album.

As Defsounds previously reported, according to hitsdailydouble, Rick Ross' Teflon Don would top the Billboard charts moving 188,816 copies in its opening week, and Eminem's Recovery album would be second selling 187,968 units.

Now the official numbers are in, and hitsdailydouble estimates were off.

The official numbers according to Nielsen Soundscan, places Eminem on top of the charts for the 5th straight week moving just over 187,000 copies of Recovery, while Ross’ Teflon Don debuted at #2 moving 176,300 units.

I’m sorry but something don’t seem right about this!!!!

Eminem’s album is not really losing steam from one week to the next. Numbers like this haven’t been done since like 10 years ago…

But all in all good for Em

Daaaaamnnnn! I know niggas in Rick Ross’ camp were hype ass shit too (had champagne ready and all that)! lmao, 4 straight numbers # 1’s (including debut album) is music history, I think the only rapper to do it was DMX. He’s still the only rapper to do it. LMFAO! They played the shit outta Ross.

At the same time ain’t no shame in losing to Em, that dude is an album selling machine.

funny to me that this has been considered a ‘sales battle’ for album just coming out against one 5 weeks old, em clearly shows without a doubt how far ahead he is from other MC’s, and thats taking nothing away from ross because his album is dope never been a big fan of his but i’m impressed.

Am I the only one amazed at how fast niggas jumped back on Ross’ dick? Wasn’t it just last summer that he was the laughing stock of hip-hop? Oh let me guess, he started rolling with your favorite “rapper” Diddy, huh? Find a hip-hop fan that can stick to their fucking beliefs these days and I’ll give you a million dollars.

it’s Em’s 5th straight week, not his 4th. But that’s crazy none the less. Teflon Don is a good album. And it’s obvious Ross pushed it back to a date where he thought he could secure another #1 cause I remember that album was originally scheduled to drop in June. A week after Recovery

No problem. Cause some dude on my Twitter kept going on and on about how hitsdailydouble didn’t have the official numbers and billboard was doing a recount and that ross sold more than em the first three days but em outsold ross on the other four. So I just waited for hiphopdx.

Why does anyone (as far as fans go) care how these albums are selling?

Not trying to diss or anything…I’m legit asking, why?

atheistabout 1 month ago
Haha I actually had money bet on who would win. It wasn’t much so I didn’t really care either way but obviously I would’ve been happier if officer ricky didn’t win. But I know what you mean, album sales really don’t mean shit considering the stupidity of the average person. But, for me at least, it’s nice knowing there at least a few people left with good taste in music. So when I see Recovery beating Teflon Don, I regain a little hope in humanity.

Because Hip-hop is essentially, from its roots, competitive. Even if the artist themselves aren’t battling, fans will always compare Hip-hop artists in terms of lyricism and sales.

@rscrbc

Understandable. But why sales though? Most of the money from sales don’t go to the artist, and it’s not like that money is going to the fans. Is it a popularity thing, like atheist^ was talking about?

Album sales just show your relevance in the rap game and when it comes to the debates niggaz gon have their arensal of insults and album sales is one of them. I guess that why.

I feel you though…it aint that serious. But Em sells regardless and ross really doesn’t so it doesn’t surprise me.

I guess that Teflon shit aint as safe as it seems when you got them AK rounds flying at you.

RECOVERY is like my new favorite album of the year.

I dont think its gonna get knocked down to the #2 spot until Hannah Montana or Justin Beiber release an album.

For what its worth…. Recovery DESERVES to stay at the top. Its a great fuckin LP man.

Its a pretty narrow margin but Im sure you’ll have plenty of room to work with.

I don’t know if Eminem can go for another week. Apparently Avenged Sevenfold’s Nightmare is projected to sell 160,000 – 175,000. Most of you are probably like wtf is that? But yeah it’s hard rock/heavy metal band. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Im not gonna front, I thought Ross would Bolo the #1 spot just from hype alone but I guess I was wrong.

The ONLY thing appealing to me about his music is that the beats are always on point and hes got a nice little flow. Nothing to rave about but Ricky can ride a beat pretty well.

Even if Ross took the spot, he would lose it again the next week.

When you got as many singles on the hot 100 as Shady does right now, thats a potential SHITLOAD of more people that might not have bought the album otherwise but went and copped it off the strength of that new song they heard on the radio.
