    i agree with you. But shady xv wasn't bad.( sales wise ). It went platinum after a year and sold around 140k in the first week.

    What the f---. I'm guessing Torrents weren't as popular back then or Eminem fans real f---ing loyal.

    If Em and Drake drop on the same day and if Drake sells more, it'll be like an end of an era. In his slight defense though, his fat jew manager is really terrible at promotion. So unless interscope fake an eminem sex tape, he ain't selling more than Drake( although I haven't hear a single album of his, those singles are fire).

    Eminem did platinum first week twice with MMLP and TES. MMLP has the highest first week sales for any solo artist, ever.

    50 Cent did 1.14 million with the Massacre.

    Lil Wayne did 1.05 million with the Carter 3.
    1. Torrents and online downloading didn't exist back then
    2. He was the biggest artist in the world at that time. Everyone that mattered in the music industry was going platinum first week. Nsync, Backstreet Boys, Britney, Limp Bizkit etc

    idk if drake has the fanbase to do 1 mil first week with views but it'll be the closest modern day effort imo...

    he might be able to outsell Em but it'll be very close. and drake is doing it with incredible hype, not just crazy fans. two different fanbases. i don't get into the album sales that often because i rarely buy them myself, but i find it hard to top what Em did.
