TWD's Music Thread For 7/7/10: Eminem Is Platinum In Two Weeks

Well, people will still buy CD's.
There's no surprise this week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, as Eminem's "Recovery" holds atop the tally for a second week, selling 313,000 (down 58%) according to Nielsen SoundScan. In two weeks' time, the album has shifted 1.1 million copies in the U.S. It's the first release to sell in excess of 300,000 for multiple weeks since Susan Boyle's "I Dreamed a Dream" racked up five 300,000-plus weeks last December.
More on the chart number latter, but sadly, while Eminem goes platinum in just the span of 15 days, the Roots can barely get towards 100, 000.
