Eminem’s ‘Recovery’ Spends A Sixth Week At #1

Eminem is on fire—and not just in his “Love The Way You Lie” video. The Detroit rapper racks up a sixth non-consecutive stay at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 with Recovery this week, the longest stint atop the chart since Susan Boyle’s I Dreamed A Dream spent six weeks on top this past winter. And with sales of 133,000 copies, it marks Em’s eighth straight week of moving over 100,000 units of the album.

Overall, it was a light week for major releases. Mike Posner’s 31 Minutes To Takeoff, which had spent the majority of last week perched at #1 on iTunes, comes in at #8 on the Top 200. In fact, three other releases debut higher than the 22-year-old “Cooler Than Me” crooner—the Jonas Brothers- and Demi Lovato-featuring Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam soundtrack (#3), Black Label Society’s eighth album Order Of The Black (#4) and Blake Shelton’s All About Tonight EP ((#6).

Things should get a bit shaken up once Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream finally arrives next week.
