Da Daily Dank

minem is on the verge of becoming the first artist to have the year's
best-selling album twice since Nielsen/SoundScan began tracking sales
for Billboard in 1991. With just three weeks to go in the chart year,
Eminem's seventh album, Recovery, has a solid lead as the year's
best-selling album. The rap star's third album, The Eminem Show, was
the best-seller of 2002.



Recovery has sold 3,146,000 copies since its release in June. That's
nearly as many copies as last year's sales champ, Taylor Swift's
Fearless, sold in the entire calendar year (3,217,000). The total for
Recovery includes 759,000 digital copies. That's more digital copies
than any album has ever sold in a calendar year. The old record was
held by Coldplay's Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends, which
sold 617,000 digital copies in 2008.
