As one of the biggest groups of all-time, Destiny’s Child carved out a success story few can rival.

It’s little wonder when why the ladies still have legions of fans – 12 years after disbanding.

Indeed, the length and breadth of their present-day relevance was highlighted this week when a rumor begun doing the rounds touting a potential reunion at Beyonce‘s Coachella concert next year. A reunion that would encompass members from DC’s various line-ups.

Who’s well on his way to earning his 7th consecutive #1 album?  Eminem, that’s who.

The Grammy-winning rap superstar, whose last opus – ‘The Marshall Mathers LP 2’ – topped the charts in 2013 sent fans into a frenzy earlier this year when he unexpectedly announced the arrival of ‘Revival,’ his latest set (released December 15th).  Although boasting an all-star list of collaborators including the likes of P!nk, Alicia Keys, and more, this studio effort (unlike the seven before it) was not preceded to chart battle by an out-of-the-box hit as its lead single – the Beyonce-assisted ‘Walk on Water’ – quickly sank on charts.

However, if the predicted sales of the tune’s parent project are any indication, ‘Water’s nonperformance didn’t hinder its ability to sail right onto the top of the Billboard 200.  Look inside to see just how many its expected to move by the end of its tracking week next Friday:
