After surprising the world with the release of his 11th studio album last week, titled Music to Be Murdered By, Eminem looks to debut at No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200, making history for the rapper in the process. ,
Music to Be Murdered By is projected to move between 300,000 and 325,000 album-equivalent units. If the album does top the Billboard 200 charts, it will make Eminem the first artist to earn 10 consecutive No. 1 debuts in U.S. history. Eminem is currently tied with Kanye West, who earned his ninth consecutive No. 1 debut last year with Jesus Is King.
Approximately 110,000-125,000 units of Eminem’s new album are expected to come from traditional sales, while the rest will come from streams and individual track downloads.
