The Monster Official iTunes Thread

[achiles22]

how much is the monster projected to sell? if it stays at 1 in itunes till sunday night can it debut at 1?

In the UK it is looking very likely as the UK chart is based on sales only. In the US they use the whole radio/airplay and streaming rule so it's probably going to debut at #2 over there as Lorde has a large amount of airplay.

Thx mate...really nice

Damn... it still holds! I guess there's a great chance to land where it belongs & serve its purpose to the full.

The singles sales right now on iTunes is absolutely bonkers. Anyone else think that this album has a legitimate chance of selling a milli in the first week?

This is the closest he'll get to selling a million first week, if he doesn't. Don't forget there are two back to back big performances coming this week end, a few interviews coming next week too and probably the Rap God video.

If it doesn't sell a million, it's gonna be very close to it.

I'm still at 750k... too many people who heard it won't buy it. I hope it'll get close to a mill anyway... It'll definitely have at least two more strong weeks though.

Nah man, if I remember correctly both Recovery and Relapse leaked two weeks early and they both sold pretty well first week. This album only leaked one week in advance so it should easily do 750k. Plus, both Relapse and Recovery didn't have this kind of buzz going into the album so I think it really will do a milli first week. If not it'll come extremely close.

The iTunes domination is crazy. Look at those predictions (not including the two performances of the week-end)

Eminem - The Monster 402k
Eminem - Survival 142k (267% boost, last week it was at 37k)
Eminem - Rap God 130k (30% boost, last week it was around 117k)
Eminem - Berzerk 110k (74% boost, last week it was around 60k)

That's pretty impressive. Those 4 songs are in the top 10 and we still have two performances lmao wow.

[HeySamantha]

iTunes Canada - Songs:

[electroencephalogram]

LOL I love how the only songs in the top ten with the "E" next to them are by Eminem.

[TheGentlePlayer]

Em is killing it so hard right now!!

[One Mic]

I swear if Radio played Eminem like he deserves (or if the US didn't have this idiotic rule), Eminem would've murdered Billboard with every single he dropped

i know what you mean bro but can't complain too much when he has had 27 songs in the top 20. and he is more of an albums selling artist anyway

In the USA, Eminem has achieved/appeared on

Top 40 Singles: 38
Top 20 Singles: 27
Top 10 Singles: 18
& 4 Number One Singles

* With a total of 52 entries on the Billboard Hot 100
(& another 16 additional entries charting from 101 – 125)

I've been talking about that chain-line thing for a while now. Fucking incredible... numbers never lie.

Monster exploding. Love the way you lie all over again. This will be good for his album sales. If only they had a music video for it though.
