I think once word spreads about Bad Meets Evil being an Eminem project and maybe 'Lighters' taking off, it will have great longevity. This album could go Platinum with the right single choices.

Lower-than-expected projections for both.
EVIL BEATS GOOD? Eminem’s Bad Meets Evil Has Slight Edge Over Jackie Evancho for #1
June 15, 2011
The battle for #1 on next week’s chart amounts to a passion play.
Bad Meets Evil’s Hell: The Sequel, the Shady/Interscope collaboration between Eminem and his old Detroit hip-hop pal Royce Da 5’9”, gets the slight edge for #1 on next week’s HITS Album chart with estimated sales of between 150-160k over Columbia 11-year-old America’s Got Talent prodigy Jackie Evancho’s Dream With Me, now in the 140-150k range. This is one horse race that won’t be decided until sales trends become clearer later in the week.
That’s based on one-day sales from those music retailers around the country who aren’t busy stocking up on “Anthony Weiner Faces Stiff Opposition” T-shirts.
Next highest debut will be Universal Republic’s Owl City—singer-songwriter Adam Young—with All Things Bright and Beautiful, the follow-up to the 2009 breakthrough Ocean Eyes and its #1 smash, “Fireflies.” Look for it to sell between 50-55k.
Stiletto Entertainment’s Barry Manilow album, 15 Minutes, his first studio effort in seven years and a meditation on fame, is on target for 25-30k through Fontana.
Jason Flom’s latest signing, Lava/Universal Republic’s Hollywood neoglam-rockers Black Veil Brides look to Set the World on Fire with their major label debut, with estimate of first week sales between 20-25k, the same number as Capitol/EMI’s Now Country 4.
The market was flat vs. last week, down 2% vs. same week last year and now back down to flat (“the new up”) year to date.
Expect the overall sales picture to lose a little ground over the next couple of weeks as we go up against two of last year's biggest debuts in Drake (447k) and Eminem (741k).

^Haha Well, it's not a typical Eminem release, but... the projections for both albums are lower than anticipated, I imagine.

D12 though (the last non-standard Eminem release) opened at 370K

That was with a huge pop hit, people knew Eminem was associated with D12 and it was in 2004. 150k is a great number.

BME's album is an EP, though.

Jesus, he's probably pissing himself about sales this big. His last release opened with something like 15k... As someone else said, if/when "lighters" blows up, and the casual eminem fan finds out that this is an eminem album (sort of...), the sales will stabilize. I bet this EP will sell over 500k.

D12 though (the last non-standard Eminem release) opened at 370K That's actually not quite true, 2m. "Eminem Presents: The Re-Up" came out in December of 2006 and opened with 309k. That was an "official mixtape" released during the Holiday season, promoted by Eminem, had singles serviced to the radio, AND was also using the G-Unit (50 Cent) brand to sell as well, as the "album" was basically a big Shady/G-Unit side project. It went on to sell 1 million +. This EP will do fine.

He appeared vocally on less than half the tracks It charted on Billboard as "Various Artists"

Exactly! That's why I put it in the same category as D12 (which, as you called it, was the "last non-standard Eminem release"). It's not exactly a standard release either. BME seems much more like an Eminem album (or EP) than either "The Re-UP" or the last D12 album.

Eminem is only on a few tracks of the Re-Up album, this dsitinguishes it from Bad Meets Evil and D12
Re-Up has a few songs with Eminem on it but is not an Eminem album

My prediction was 150K - 200K. Looks like i was right if this sales trend continues!

Eminem may not have had vocals on all of the tracks on Re-Up, but he either wrote/produced/or had vocals on most of the songs.
Either way, 150-160k is extremely good for this.
1) It is not promoted under Eminem's name 2) there has been virtually no promotion 3) The"Single" never went for adds 4) It is an EP
nothing to complain about here.

Eminem & Royce da 5'9" Aiming For No. 1 on Next Week's Billboard 200 June 15, 2011 By Keith Caulfield ( keith_caulfield), Los Angeles, While it's still early on in the week, it's looking like super hip-hop duo Bad Meets Evil (Eminem and Royce da 5'9") is heading for No. 1 on next week's Billboard 200 albums chart with "Hell: the Sequel." Industry sources suggest the set could sell around 150,000 copies by week's end on Sunday, June 19. Aiming for the runner-up slot -- or perhaps No. 1 if things really go her way -- is 11-year old soprano Jackie Evancho with her first full-length major label effort "Dream With Me." The singer, who finished in second place last year on "America's Got Talent," recruited two big names for "Dream" -- she duets with both Barbra Streisand and fellow reality-TV-star-turned-recording-artist Susan Boyle. "Dream" could sell around 140,000 albums in its first week. Adele's "21" album might fall to the No. 3 position, ahead of Owl City's debuting "All Things Bright and Beautiful," which should enter in the top five. Also likely heading for a top 10 debut is Ledisi's new set "Pieces of Me."

^Mentions of Jackie/BMV at #1 and #2, Adele should be #3 and Owl City #5, i'd guess GaGa #4.
They probably are unsure.

Owl City is supposed to sell about 50K-if she drops from 100K+ to under 50K this week that would be pretty bad. Hopefully, she is at #4 selling somewhere between 50K and Adele which should sell somewhere in the 90-110K range.

Just look at Ms. Adkins' album.
HITS
The projections grew a little today for both Bad Meets Evil and Jackie Evancho, set to debut next week. We're once again giving the edge to Bad Meets Evil for #1 on next week's chart, although the numbers are close enough for it to go either way come Monday. Adele, in her 17th week of release, barely drops at all and stays over 100k for the 12th week. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend:
*Bad Meets Evil (Shady/Interscope) 155-165k *Jackie Evancho (Columbia) 145-155k Adele (Columbia) 110-115k Lady Gaga (Interscope) 65-70k *Owl City (Universal Republic) 50-55k Jason Aldean (Broken Bow) 45-50k Now 38 (Capitol/EMI) 30-35k Book of Mormon (Ghostlight/Razor & Tie) 28-32k Brad Paisley (Arista Nashville) 28-32k Mumford & Sons (Glassnote) 28-32k *Ledisi (Verve Forecast) 27-30k *Barry Manilow (Stiletto Entertainment) 25-28k Ronnie Dunn (Arista Nashville) 20-23k *Now Country 4 (Universal Music Group) 20-23k *Black Veil Brides (Universal Republic) 20-23k *Debuts (6/16p)

^^ WOW @ Adele's and Jason Aldean's (in his 33rd week) consistency and Lady Gaga's big drop of 30-35% ! :o

Congrats to Owl City ... too bad Deer In The Headlights didn't become even a minor hit so that it could debut in front of Lady Gaga.
Also, thumbs up to Book of Mormon for holding up decently ... what a weird chart run!

No suprises. So far im right about GaGa going back to her 50K weeks, whether it goes lower or not was another question. But the video will probably do nothing to substain, oh well. It is what it is at this point.

Look at Mumford-STILL churning out 28-32K a week. SERIOUSLY. Jesus, I was ok with the 40% drop this week but something's gotta happen for Gaga. Hopefully she breaks 70k. So frustrating that the video is crap.
