Justin Bieber’s “My World 2.0” is in second place with sales of 1.4 million, and Sade’s “Soldier of Love” is third with a little over 1.2 million. Lady Gaga’s “The Fame” is fourth with 1.2 million. “Recovery” has moved 1.1 million in just two weeks’ time, placing it at No. 5 on the midyear list of best-selling albums.
Thanks to Eminem’s recently released “Recovery,” five albums — compared to last year’s four — have sold at least a million copies in the first half of 2010.
Eminem and Gaga also made it into the quartet of million-sellers at the midyear point of 2009. The rapper’s last release, “Relapse,” was the third-best seller with 1.2 million, while Gaga’s “The Fame” was fourth with 1 million.
Last year Taylor Swift’s “Fearless” topped the list with 1.4 million, and the “Hannah Montana: The Movie” soundtrack was second with a little over 1.2 million.
