As previously estimated, Eminem’s latest album, The Marshall Mathers LP 2, topped the Billboard 200 chart with 792,000 according to Nielsen SoundScan.
It marks the second-largest sales week of the year, behind Justin Timberlake’s The 20/20 Experience which started with 968,000 in March. The year’s second-largest week had been the debut of Drake’s Nothing Was the Same (658,000).
MMLP2 marks Eminem’s seventh No. 1 album — all consecutive, and all debuts at No. 1. His only album to miss the top slot was his first release, 1999’s The Slim Shady LP. It debuted and peaked at No. 2.
One more fun fact, MMLP2 posts a larger debut than Eminem’s last album, 2010’s Recovery, which started with 741,000.
