LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - Eminem on Wednesday became the first artist since March to lead the U.S. pop chart for three consecutive weeks, while new releases from OutKast member Big Boi and Enrique Iglesias started slowly.

Eminem's "Recovery" sold 229,000 copies during the week ended July 11, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Sales to date stand at 1.3 million.

Apple faces music on iPhone flaw but recall unlikely

                                                                                         
Apple Inc is likely to announce a fix for the iPhone 4's reception problems on Friday rather than recall the device, hoping to stem a growing chorus of complaints and avert any lasting damage to its carefully earned reputation for quality products.
Apple, which surprised consumers and investors when it said it will convene an iPhone 4 press conference, has kept mum on what it will do. But analysts are betting that -- despite lawsuits, a poor review from Consumer Report and growing user complaints -- it will not initiate a costly and embarrassing recall.
Investors will be looking for a fuller explanation of what analysts call a minor issue, but which has managed to cause a media firestorm. A growing furor over iPhone 4 signal-strength flaws has hurt Apple's shares ahead of its quarterly results next week.

China keen to bid for 2026 World Cup


China is lining up a bid for the 2026 World Cup after witnessing the success enjoyed by hosts South Africa at this year's tournament, local media reported on Friday.

The Chinese Football Association (CFA) would soon submit a request to the General Administration of Sports (GAS), the sports ministry, for approval to proceed with a formal bid, according to the CFA head Wei Di.

"We are so impressed by the great benefits the World Cup has brought to South Africa," Wei told the Beijing Youth Daily. "In South Africa, I saw how a World Cup could unite a country and improve its football."

Wei, who had previously said China would not attempt to bid in the near future due to its low level of play, noted that his experience at the South Africa finals had changed his mind.
