Talk:Recovery (Eminem album)

WORLDWIDE SALES

America isn't the only place the CD was released -_-

The album sold over a million worldwide upon release in its first week, this should be noted as well.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.3.113.187 (talk • contribs) 09:47, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

You forgot to present your reliable sources (for your second sentence, not your first). — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 20:51, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

THERE IS NO NEED FOR A 'RELIABLE SOURCE' - just simple maths:

The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 741,000 copies.[42] The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, selling 140,000 copies in its first week in the United Kingdom.[50] In Canada, the album sold 85,000 copies in its first week and debuted at number one on Canada's Albums Chart.[51] In Japan, Oricon recorded a debut of number six with 20,678 units sold.[54] It also went gold in its first week in New Zealand and Australia, debuting at number one in both countries.[55][56] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.3.249.51 (talk • contribs) 22:01, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

This falls under WP:OR and, I think, WP:SYNTH, so isn't useful for us at WP. Find some reliable source who's done the simple maths for you, then it can be added. You can't reliably add certs and sales from different countries to come up with some reliable worldwide total, which is one reason worldwide totals attract a lot of scepticism around here. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 22:58, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

No you can't. You're right. Hence the generalization: "Over a million worldwide" I haven't given an exact number but its true that it is over a million.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.3.249.51 (talk) 11:23, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Read (at least) the astonishing first sentence of Wikipedia:Verifiability. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 13:08, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

BTW, Musicchart is not official, Em will outsell Gaga, someone delete that recovery is the second highest selling, and wait till the IFPP or sth like that, the official world wide sales company release the numbers!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.135.5.121 (talk) 21:13, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Not the best selling album of 2010

There is an error in this article. Recovery isn't the best selling album of 2010. Acording to the global charts,The Fame Monster by Lady Gaga beat Eminem's Recovery and is in fact the best selling album of 2010. Look: http://www.mediatraffic.de/year-end-albums.htm Recovery sold 100k copies less than the fame monster.--West231 (talk) 17:08, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Thats worldwide!!! In the USA 'Recovery' was the best selling album..

Year-End-charts

The YE-position of Recovery was No. 12 in Germany! Please add it source--79.216.178.163 (talk) 20:28, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

For the memo mediatraffik isn't official

IFPP have the real numbers. mediatraffik count 2 Gaga's album in one only and estimate numbers. There still no official best selling album worldwide. (USA are real numbers tho) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rakim69 (talk • contribs) 18:22, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
