^Eminem sold 1 million records too in his first week with the Marshall Mathers LP.

And Sam, you're so out of touch with hip-hop and it shows lol . His presence wasn't missed? Visit just about any hip-hop forum there is and ask them who's album they're most anticipated to hear. Eminem will be your answer. Or look over at Itunes, his single sold over 400k it's first week and sky rocketed to number 1. The rap fans have been waiting on his comeback for a long damn time.
