Eminem‘s latest album Recovery is still sitting high on the Billboard 200 albums chart. So high that even fellow rapper Rick Ross, who just released his new album Teflon Don last Tuesday (Jul 20), couldn’t bump it down, even though Recovery has been out for 5 weeks!

Em’s new album sold 187,000 copies while Ross’ even newer Teflon Don album sold just 11,000 copies less putting him at #2 on the chart. The rest of the top 5 albums for the week includes Sheryl Crow‘s “100 Miles from Memphis” (#3 – 55,000), Drake‘s “Thank Me Later” (#4 – 43,000) and “Kidz Bop 18″ (#5 – 43,000). Justin Bieber‘s “My World 2.0″ sold 47,000 copies and Lady Gaga‘s “The Fame” sold 24K, coming in at numbers 6 and 9 respectively.

Meanwhile “Love the Way You Lie”, Eminem’s new single featuring Rihanna, debuted at an impressive No. 2 on the Hot 100 chart. But Em says he knew all along the song would be a hit. He told MTV shortly before the track hit airwaves: “[The song] I did with Rihanna is one of those tracks that I felt like only she could pull it off, only she could do it.”

Eminem is killing the charts right now!

    Why, this album is just as lame as the last albums he has put out. He is only popular because hes a white boy that can “half way” rap. Put “any” white boy in that position behind Dr. Dre beats and he will be famous. No brainer and I believe Dr. Dre knew this. His skills are very limited and people would be able to see that if they could just remove their noses from the crack of his azz so they can see straight. Change your diet up folks! Just think why does he keep talking about the same poeple over again in his music?…Skills limited, He has nothing to talk about. Change your diet up folks! A mouth full of nuts cant be good for your health.

    dear Q: you are fucking ignorant hater. To say any white person with Dre behind them could do what Eminem has done is ridiculous. And stop saying “change your diet up folks!” because you don’t sound as clever as you think, in fact you sound like a fucking moron. He’s one of the greatest rappers of all time, and he’s been the biggest artist in the world for the last 12 years, that must make you pretty mad huh? fucking dickhead.
