Eminem's long-awaited comeback album Relapse is reportedly en route to sell at least 650,000 copies its first week, which will make it the biggest first-week sales for 2009.
While an official count will not be ready for another week, one-day estimates predict Slim Shady will lead all sales by leaps and bounds.
He may be a homophobic, pill-popping, celeb-dissing misogynist, but there are at least 600-650k others who can relate to Eminem. That?s the number of people we estimate will pick up the Detroit hip-hop bad boy?s Relapse, his first album for Shady/Aftermath/Interscope in almost five years, based on reports from retailers across this great nation of ours who haven?t yet hung up a ?For Lease? sign. U2 bowed at #1 with 480k back in March. Def Jam/IDJ?s Method Man & Redman follows with 65-70k and Universal Motown?s iconic Busta Rhymes, reunited with former Elektra topper Sylvia Rhone, both at between 60-65k.
