Rap-Up.com || Eminem Tops Rick Ross on Albums Chart

Not even a boss could dethrone Eminem from the No. 1 spot. Rick Ross comes runner-up to Slim Shady on this week’s albums chart.

The Miami MC’s fourth studio album Teflon Don finishes second to Eminem’s Recovery on the Billboard 200. The rappers were neck and neck throughout the week, but Eminem surpassed Ross’ sales by 11,000 to remain No. 1 for a fifth straight week, selling 187,000 copies.

Teflon Don moves 176,000 units, becoming the first album from Ross not to arrive at No. 1. His last three studio efforts all debuted in the top spot. The well-received set bests last year’s Deeper Than Rap, which sold 158,000 copies, but couldn’t top the numbers for 2008′s Trilla (198,000).

The Bawse prematurely spoke about his sales on Twitter. “No.1 album in the country..#TEFLONDON!!!!” he wrote on Tuesday before final figures were in.

Elsewhere in the top 10, Drake’s Thank Me Later drops one spot to No. 4 (47,000), Justin Bieber’s My World 2.0 falls one to No. 6 (39,000), and Lady Gaga’s The Fame moves up three positions to No. 10 (24,000).

it’s not like rick ross sold 17K and eminem sold what he did. they both sold very well, so good for them. i’m not a fan of either but i don’t think selling almost 200K in this sales environment = “career suicide”.

Not only is it Eminems 5th Week.. but his album leaked two weeks early. Teflon Don didnt leak at all.. that said, I hope Officer Rickys ego is in check, No matter how good you think you are, EMIN∃M is that much better. Its like playing with Tiger a couple years ago, when Slims out there, your fighting for second place.

That’s what he gets for being so damn cocky. Fake-ass fraud. At least Eminem doesn’t lie about who he is. I’m tired of all these bullsh*t rappers trying to be something they’re not. Just be yourself, whatever happened to that?
