A fifth consecutive album sales victory for Eminem’s “Recovery” is endangered by the entry of Rick Ross’ “Teflon Don,” Hits Daily Double reports.
“Recovery,” a strong holdover performer, shows no signs of letting up and is tracking for a slight victory, according to Hits’ one-day sales extensions. But with a projected opening week sales total between 170-180,000, the Ross album will be neck-and-neck with “Recovery” and could take the lead if Eminem’s album slows down later in the week.
Elsewhere, one-day extensions pace Sheryl Crow’s “100 Miles from Memphis” for 45-50,000 opening week sales. The “Jonas LA” soundtrack will be good for a lukewarm 35-40,000 opening, while the latest “Kidz Bop” should secure an opening frame in that same range.
i doubt it.
Ricky rozay! All the way wtch hm tke tha no1 spot once agen nd yall can h8 all u wnt bt he stil mks good music!!
romeo youre an idiot. He’s neck and neck with Eminem’s FIFTH week sales. If anyone thinks its a victory they must be retarded.
when did hip hop become about sales anyway? it is suppose to about which album is BETTER. FYI, eminem is a crossover artist (whether he likes it or not he is a pop artist who can rap his ass off). he has virtually every white kid who listens to hip hop buying his album he will always sell more records than any rapper. rick ross is hip hop artist who fan base is primarily “THE STREETS”
You are damn right, Rick Ross is pure street. Eminem has his strength based on especially on whites. Recovery is good album, but Teflon Don is a real street album
any1 saying ross is the streets must be so ignorant and retarded. he makes music for the streets but that nigga never got his hands dirty in the streets. this foo raps about shit he aint never done. and he’s street. fuck that… this dude worked for the cops then lied about it. to me that just shows how uncreative he is. picked a life style and a persona that he thought was GANGSTER and went with it. this dude is wack and he’s not getting the #1 spot.
Who gives a fuck if Teflon Don is a Street Album… Not everybody is street, fools…
rick ross , 180,000 1st week – Eminem 746,000 1st week in a recession smh. Not evan close tho wit the numbers. 1,465,000 em sold so far. women lie , men lie . numbers dont lie
Hey I have to agree. Eminem will always sell albums based on his white background. Now he is a raw ass MC, no argument, but he is always going to sell because of his white background. And as far as Rozay, he has good ass music. I don’t care if he was an tiger trainer. He has good music. Al Pacino never sold no crack, Joe Pepsi never ran a mob, but you still love his acting. So stop basing their rap skills over street cred. Ross is the man point blank. And you can always tell if the music is hot. The streets will tell you. If you hear cars bumpin their music and picnics playing their joints and clubs playin their joint, than it’s hot music. I know for a fact Chicago, MIA, Atlanta, New York, Va, D.C. bump his shit, I’m always through there. Just a lil real talk to the people
realist album on the planet. exciting, emotional, superb delivery, and elegant slick talk.
Rick ross is not street, the lyrics the he writes are street, even though they are just a fantasy and made up bullshit the he has never went through. You cant compare Al Pacino to rick ross cuz al pacino doesnt claim to be what he acting in his movies, rick ross on the other hand claims to be all hard core street nigga and shit. When the fuck was the last time you met a hard core street nigga with a clean record. The mother fucker was a correctional officer, you have to have a clean record to even apply for that job, proving my point to where rick ross is NOT street, he is a fat fuck who makes good street music but at the end of the day he is FAKE!!! Eminem on the other hand sales much more not only cuz white people listen to him but also cuz EVERYONE listens to him, Maybe if rick ross wasnt fake white people would buy his albums too, Just like they buy Lil waynes albums, Jay Z, Kanye plus other rappers that are real and can actually sell more than 200,000 thousand copies in their first week. Even drake sold more than him is his first week and this is drakes debut album. Rick Ross is not and will never be competition for any REAL rapper out there cuz he is fucking FAKE, thats why he doesnt sell.
i have all rick ross albums and his music is very good. I have a good friend that’s all on 50 cent #$%k and he even like ross music. eminem is a good rapper but he sells big cause he is white hands down, everyone knows that most rap music is bought buy white ppl so the going to keep there kind on top. and as far as ross i know cops that are as heavy in the drug games as the dealers, many cops are dirty so being a cop does not mean he didn’t play a role in what he say. you dont have to have a rep sheet and get shot to be real. i know ppl that have been shot that are book geeks and ppl with reps that are just stupid and got cought so going to jail and hard it’s stuid ass people that got cought and gays ass ni##as that love to go to jail. ROSS IS THE MAN fuck the haters. and 50 cent d#$k riders
Em is sick that album is classic! Even better then the blueprint 3 so that ross album aint got shit on it! I feel Em is the very best jay z just slightly under him!
I guess that settles that.. Rick Ross no match for Eminem. And all you racists sayin dat Em sells cos he’s white, please shut it. Racism and Bigotry aint unique to Caucasians. How many other White rappers have sales even comin close to one-tenth of Eminem’s all the Vanilla Ices, Bubba Sparxxx, Paul Walls? When its about who’s selling, its about who’s lyrically good, has a good flow and is good metaphorically. Rick Ross makes commercial music. Eminem doesn’t. Eminem murdered Jay-Z on Renegade, no one’s disputed that, Eminem murdered Lil’ Wayne twice on Drop the World and No Love. Wanye and Hov are among the top selling rappers of the last decade. So who’s talkin? Eminem is a DAMN good emcee, and it aint got nuthin to do with his skin color. He’s sellin cos of dat. F**k d hataz.
haha this is complete bullshit rick ross may surpass eminem for week sales? 170-180k guess what eminem did 750-800k in a week and only 2 artists have broken 2 million records for 2010 lady antebelum and eminem rick ross? nowhere to be found.
