Eminem surprise album will top the American charts
Eminem’s sudden album ‘Hell: The Sequel’ as Bad Meets Evil with Royce Da 5’9” will be the biggest selling album in the USA this week.
The album that came from nowhere (it was only announced a week earlier) should sell around 150,000 units this week, according to Hitsdailydouble.com.
Royce Da 5’8” goes back to Eminem’s first album when he collaborated on ‘The Slim Shady LP’ in 1999.
Later they worked together again on ‘Renegade’ from Jay-Z’s ‘The Blueprint’ and Dr Dre’s ‘2001’.
Bad Meets Evil’s ‘Hell: The Sequel’ is expected to chart higher than the Jackie Evancho ‘Dream With me’ album. Evancho is expected to come in at number two.
Other debuts next week will include Owl City ‘All Things Bright and Beautiful’, Barry Manilow ’15 Minutes’ and Black Veil Brides ‘Set The World On Fire’.

The album itself didn’t exactly come as a surprise, as speculation about it began when Eminem and Royce Da 5’9″ mended the rift in their old friendship. While many expected a full-length LP, the EP was born out of a number of friendly encounters after their reconciliation, notably when Eminem decided to sign Royce’s quartet Slaughterhouse to Shady Records.
The announcement of the EP came roughly two or three months ago, when recordings began to leak of the duo’s studio sessions, eventually culminating in the official release of the EP’s first single, “Fast Lane.”
