Eminem’s New CD Debuts Atop Charts
Eminem’s new album made its debut at No. 1 on the album charts, according to figures released Wednesday.
“The Eminem Show,” featuring the song “Without Me,” sold about 285,000 copies for the sales week ending Sunday รณ the day it was officially made available for sale.
The album was originally set for release June 4, but it was bootlegged so heavily that his label, Interscope Records, moved the sale date up to Tuesday. Late last week, they took the unusual step of making the record available to retailers two days earlier, and the album reportedly was made available as early as Friday at some stores.
The disc is Eminem’s follow-up to his Grammy-winning disc, “The Marshall Mathers LP,” which sold a then unprecedented 1.7 million copies in its first week of release in 2000.
