The rap megastar's first record in five years, Relapse, moved 608,000 copies last week, claiming the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 and racking up the biggest weekly sales total of the year for any album. It's the best seller since AC/DC's "Black Ice," which moved 784,000 copies last October.
Em has quite a bit to be proud of, as Relapse also marks Em's fifth straight No. 1 record. Overall, he has sold 34 million albums in the U.S., making him the biggest selling hip-hop act in the SoundScan era (1991-present).
Let's just hope the newly-sober star doesn't go all "3 A.M." on us while he's celebrating.













Hey, thanks for coming out. Please leave.
Actually, didn't U2's new album sell over 800,000 copies in its first week? That's what this article says.
