Teflon Don sold 176,295 in the first week (give The Industry Prognosticator his props!), and I was as shocked as anyone when I saw that STILL wasn't enough to overtake Eminem's Recovery at #1. Recovery sales were only down 4% from last week, and sold 187,187, which all but guarantees it'll remain #1 next week with no major releases Tuesday.
Like Recovery, Eminem's Love The Way You Lie featuring Rihanna remains at #1 for another week.
