Eminem Expected to Debut at #1, Miley at #3

Offering conclusive proof that Marshall still matters, Eminem’s aptly named Recovery will score the year’s highest sales debut. Look for a total of between 590-615k for the Shady/Aftermath/Interscope album, easily beating Sade’s 503k back in February. It could also beat his last album, Relapse, which sold 608k in its first week in May ’09.

In addition, Em’s duet with Rihanna, “Love the Way You Lie,” has currently supplanted Katy Perry’s “California Gurls” as the top iTunes download.

With this week’s sales champ, Drake’s Thank Me Later album, looking like #2 in its second week, the next biggest debut will be Hollywood’s Miley Cyrus album, clocking in at 115-125k, as the Disney teen star looks to shed her wholesome Hannah Montana image.

Epic’s Ozzy Osbourne album, Scream, is next at 65-70k.

- Pretty weak sales for Miley! I thought she had it easy between 250-300k. I guess not.

Miley is definitly not a flop but I guess that the people who bought her albums were the parents of the kids who watch or used to watch "Hanna Montana" and since some parents are shocked by her new behaviour and scene outfits, I guess they don't want to buy her albums anymore. But being in the billboard's top 10 is already impressive for any artist, even the biggest sellers.

@Anon I wasn't saying that she wouldn't sell albums or anything. I was saying and thinking that a majority of the buyers were her HM fan's parents. Not everyone. Im not a fan of HM but I bought the album, and I quite like it.
