As expected, it is going to be a close battle between Eminem and Rick Ross for the No.1 position on the album charts next week. While Ross has already declared Teflon Don to be No.1 in various interviews and on Twitter, it’ll be interesting to see what the final outcome is next Tuesday.
The hip-hop superstar’s four straight weeks at #1 with his Shady/Aftermath/ Interscope album Recovery is being threatened this week by Def Jam/IDJ Miami rapper Rick Ross, whose Teflon Don is on target to do between 170-180k in sales.
With placement in Target and Best Buy circulars, Eminem’s Recovery, off just 15% this week, is in the early lead, but the outcome is still very much in doubt.
