NEW YORK (Top40 Charts) - Despite having only one "official" day to do it, Eminem's The Eminem Show still managed enough sales to debut in the No. 1 spot on The US Albums on Wednesday.

The highly anticipated release, which was moved up twice from its original release date of June 4 due to Internet piracy, surfaced on the unorthodox day of Sunday (May 26) (albums almost always hit stores on Tuesdays) and still rang up 284,534 in sales by Sunday evening -- the cutoff point to qualify for this week's Nielson SoundScan report.

While street date violations over the holiday weekend certainly helped extend Eminem's sales beyond its one official day (some stores were selling it as early as Friday [May 24]), the feat still marks the first time in SoundScan history an album debuted at No. 1 without the benefit of a full week of sales.

Last week's No. 1, P. Diddy & Bad Boy Records Present?We Invented the Remix, dropped to the No. 2 spot. Elsewhere in the top 10, Marc Anthony's Mended grabs the No. 3 slot behind 111,028 in first-week sales.

Other notable debuts include Box Car Racer's Box Car Racer (No. 12)
- Now That's What I Call Music! Off the Hook, featuring Aaliyah, Jennifer Lopez, and B2K (No. 13)
- Amy Grant's Legacy? Hymns and Faith (No. 21)
- Tommy Lee's Never a Dull Moment (No. 39)
- NOFX's 45 or 46 Songs That Weren't Good Enough (No. 80)
- Something Corporate's Leaving Through the Window (No. 101) and
- Poison's Holyweird (No. 103).

Next week's SoundScan report, which will reflect The Eminem Show's first full week in stores, should see the album's numbers increase dramatically.
