I've always wondered why their debut album is called "The Sequel" though. It's not like they have released anything before it.

because in the song "Bad Meets Evil" on The Slim Shady LP they say "See you in hell for the sequel" or something like that. So it's a play off of that. it's more out of homage to the fans than an attempt to be in a particular order.

Top new artist and top social artist??

[dshady89]

Does Eminem even know how Twitter and Facebook work?

First and foremost, for people who don't know, these nominations are based on the most commercially successful artists of last year. Not who Billboard think are the best, just who sold the most songs, got the most radio airplay, etc.

Billboard base who the "Top Social Artist" categories on who gets discussed the most on social networking sites. Eminem doesn't have to do anything really. Billboard I think do some sort of search of all the major networking sites to see which artists and their songs get discussed the most. They publish a chart of it each week infact.

And Bad Meets Evil classify as a "new artist" since 2011 was only the first year that they entered the Billboard charts iirc.

And LMFAO are right to be in the rap category. Not saying they're amazing rappers, but they ARE rappers, and they were amongst the most commercially successful last year. If it was a hip hop category, then it wouldn't be right for LMFAO to be there, but it's just for people who rap full stop, it doesn't need to be on hip hop beats for that category.

^ yeah cause it was there first album release

In the UK, Bad Meets Evil have Nuttin to Do and Scary Movies on their discography in 1999 (they charted at #63). They weren't from an album thought obviously.

[SliK]

Well did BME sell the most or not? Lighters was pretty big..

[Atone]
