The godfather of rap is back, four and a half year after his last studio-set, the new effort 'Relapse' outsold the competition easily with opening week sales of 1,01 million copies. That's the second
highest level this year so far, after U2's 'No Line On The Horizon' (1,18 million units, week 11 / 2009).
Eminem's last studio album 'Encore' bowed also at no.1after a three-day sales period with 1,04 million copies (week 48 / 2004) and grows up the following week to 1,48 million. Eminem's most succesful album, 'The Marshall Mathers LP' sold nearly 22 million copies to date and ranks at no.55 on the ALLTIME ALBUM CHART.
