It'll sell 2.5 million before the year is over tbh. The video for Rap God hasn't dropped... I'm sure there will be a video for The Monster as well.... 4 singles were released before the album dropped, I'm sure they are planning on putting out at least another 2 singles. Headlights and Bad Guy are deserving of music videos.

how many albums has he sold in his career?

125M or more

First day, mad motherfuckers at Best Buy buying the album. It wasn't like that with Recovery and Relapse.

The Slim Shady LP debuted at #2 with 283k (5m to date).

The Marshall Mathers LP debuted at #1 with 1.76m (10.6m to date).

The Eminem Show debuted at #1 with 284k (SDVs) (7.6m to date).

Encore debuted at #1 with 710k (5.2m to date).

Relapse debuted at #1 with 608k (2m to date).

Recovery debuted at #1 with 741k (4.4m to date).

35 million albums in US alone with those 6 records. Excludes Greatest Hits, 8 Mile, D12 albums, and Re-Up. Plus excludes WW sales.

A lot of times big albums go up though. They predicted like 50-60K less for Born Sinner and he basically hit 300K first week, which shattered the prediction.

I still think it's be around 700K.

The hip-hop scene as developed a much larger fan base of people who will buy albums for quality sake. Recov did its numbers because of its singles but look at GKMC and Born Sinner. Born Sinner debuted same week as Kanye and outsold Yeezus... the biggest single on there was crooked smile which didnt even reach top 5 on billboard. So I am thinking that the overall quality of this album will keep it a strong seller.

No.....Crooked Smile wasn't even really getting rotation when the album came out.

Power Trip was a successful single though, his 2nd highest charting single other then Work Out.

Speaking for myself, but many countries like mine are still getting the album in stores.

No, Yeezus sold more

I know this has been asked a million times, but do iTunes sales and physical sales count together or separately?

First week yes, but anything after their second week, no. Born Sinner outsold Yeezus.
