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.
