The Numbers Game: The Outsiders

The Numbers Game

A slow week for sales in terms of movement and releases. Well at least slow to me. Country music singer Eric Church topped the charts with his 4th album The Outsiders followed by the Frozen Soundtrack and Now 49, but I guess that’s not really relevant here.

I did learn today that Emimen‘s 4th album The Eminem Show, released all the way back in 2002, is sitting at #102 and has sold over 10 million copies. And that’s probably all I’ll learn today.
