MMLP2:Deluxe counted as double album

[Raul]

You guys already did the joke about Em selling 2 copies if he presses a double album?

[Morrissey]

I can almost guarantee they're keeping this so tight / certified it as a double album to try and get the numbers to be as close as possible to MMLP's 1.78m first week sales.

lucas did it with every star wars

it just might work

Comparing EMinem and Lucas is pretty fitting if this album turns out to be recycled recovery garbage

[Emadyville]

i hope it does

If it counts as a double sale then he's soaring through a million. Depending how many people buy the Deluxe vs Standard edition...I'd have no idea what to expect sales wide.

I think there's an outside chance of him doing a million if it's not a double sale.

[unbound88]

why would anyone buy the standard anyway?

[Elision]

Do you think this was done intentionally for the certification by Interscope/Shady?

Probably. Everything about this album so far stinks of whoreishness.

unfortunately

1 hour 54 minutes all up. That is 114 minutes.

Interesting...

I've looked into it a bit more and it seems that soundscan and RiAA look at it differently so any double albums are only counted once by soundscan no matter the length and it's RIAA that count it twice if it's in excess of 100 minutes. But they're the ones that are responsible for the certifications.

That's a really good point

I really hope it counts as a double album
