Eminem's new album made its debut at No. 1 on the album charts, according to figures released Wednesday.
Despite the album's "week" numbers being based on a single release day, it sold a mammoth 284,534 copies on Sunday, which is the final day of tracking firm SoundScan's sales week. Its sales were almost twice what reigning champ P. Diddy sold in the full week, according to SoundScan data released on Wednesday. "We've never had a record debut at number one on the SoundScan chart that hasn't had the benefit of a full six days of sales behind it," SoundScan chairman and CEO Mike Shalett said in a statement.
Retailers who already had the Eminem albums in stock reportedly did not wait until Sunday. They started selling copies as early as Friday and Saturday.
"I guess people couldn't wait to sell this record," said Steve Berman, Interscope's head of sales and marketing, who lent his name to a song title on Eminem's last album. "We had, at the most, a thirty-six hour window with limited public knowledge of availability. All of our advertising runs next week."
