Offering conclusive proof that Marshall still matters, Eminem�s aptly named Recovery will score the year�s highest sales debut. Look for a total of between 590-615k for the Shady/Aftermath/Interscope album, easily beating Sade�s 503k back in February. It could also beat his last album, Relapse, which sold 608k in its first week in May �09.
That�s based on totals from those music retailers who haven�t painted their faces red, white and blue and shown up in South Africa with vuvuzelas in tow for the World Cup.
In addition, Em�s duet with Rihanna, �Love the Way You Lie,� has currently supplanted Katy Perry�s �California Gurls� as the top iTunes download.
With this week�s sales champ, Drake�s Thank Me Later album, looking like #2 in its second week, the next biggest debut will be Hollywood�s Miley Cyrus album, clocking in at 115-125k, as the Disney teen star looks to shed her wholesome Hannah Montana image.
Epic�s Ozzy Osbourne album, Scream, is next at 65-70k, followed by Def Jam/IDJ�s The Roots (35-40k), Kedar Entertainment�s Keith Sweat (20-25k) and JW/Big Machine/Universal Republic�s Jaron & the Long Road to Love (18-21k), which is the new group from one-half of the early 2000s pop-rock duo Evan & Jaron.
