With the expected sales of 70-80,000 units, the album can land at No.3 on the Billboard chart. There is still time to change that.
With the strong competition from Taylor Swift and Paul McCartney, “Music to Be Murdered By: Side B” needs over 100,000 units to sell to reach the top of the charts. Taylor’s “willow” is expected to move over 100,000 on its second week, Paul McCartney is projected to show 85-95,000 total activity and 80-90,000 albums, and Eminem’s album got 70-80,000 total, 23-30 album predictions from HitsDailyDouble.
The projected numbers, while lower than the parent album did in January, are still incredibly high for a deluxe edition. For instance, Pop Smoke’s deluxe sold only 40,000 units on its debut week, despite the original version being the second best-selling disc of the year.
However, all fans want better for Eminem and considering that these are still early days, they have time to boost sales. Mind you that Billboard has recently changed the rules and physical copies do not count towards weekly sales until they are shipped. So only way to affect this week sales is to purchase a digital copy of the album on Official Eminem Online Store.
And of course, stream the living hell out of it. Even if you do not live in the US and cannot affect the album’s chart position – you still add numbers to its worldwide performance.
