Eminem's Recovery hangs in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for a fourth consecutive week, selling 195,000 (down 15%), according to Nielsen SoundScan. It's the first set to notch four straight frames at No. 1 since Susan Boyle's "I Dreamed a Dream" spent six consecutive weeks atop the tally, and the first by a solo male since Josh Groban's "Noel" did so for five weeks in December 2007.
No doubt the continued success of "Recovery" is aided by its hit single "Love the Way You Lie" (featuring Rihanna), which holds at No. 1 on Digital Songs with 352,000 sold this week (up 12%).
This week's highest debut on the Billboard 200—and first of six entries in the top 10—is Korn's "Korn III—Remember Who You Are." It starts at No. 2 with 63,000 and is the rock band's 10th top 10 album out of 12 entries. Only its 1995 self-titled debut and 2006's "Live & Rare" missed the region, peaking at Nos. 72 and 51, respectively. "Korn III" is the act's first effort on Roadrunner Records, after three albums with Virgin/Capitol. Its last album, 2007's "Untitled," debuted and peaked at No. 2 with 123,000 sold in its first week.
