theories about why Em's sales are low??

Postby Alexander09 » May 28th, '09, 21:18

could it be the economy, cause wayne came last year and sold a little over a mil. did wayne's album leak? personaly i think wayne is garbage, so why did Em sell so little (compared to his previous work)

the leak
the economy
the content
it could also be because of the content. pills, murder, etc. not very commercial
what do you think?

i think because it leaked and people hate the voice.

But now is big problem in all world recession!!! When cartter 3 was out in stores then didn't was recession.
"Proof, No matter how much time passes, not a day goes by that I don't think of you. If it weren't for you, I would not be where I am today and we both know it. I tried to write song for you but nothing was good enough, so I'm dedicating them all to you-and you'd be happy to know that I spazzed out on 'em gain!I know you wouldn't have it any other way! Fuck 'em all--let's get 'em!
P.S. I'm sober now, I know you'd be proud. I love you Doody, I'll never forget you. Love, Doody "

LOL, low????

The fastest selling album of 2009 so far and you call it low?

over 1.3 mill worldwide so far...

Clearly we all know music sales have been dropping year by year since 2000, you just cant prevent an album leaking etc.. now and many many people will still rather have an album for free than pay £9.50 or so for it.. simple :8)

All that im botherd about is that Relapse is #1 all over the world in many many countries, brillaint :8)

Everybody comparing waynes sales and Ems..
So:
Wayne is/was on almost EVERY hit single in 08, ofcourse he would get ALOT of hype of that
But Em comes outta nowhere, and sells 900k worldwide, pretty good for a guy that has been out of the game for 4-5 years

Ireland is in a crisis job wise and im guessin its like that everywhere.If people are not working and already have a burned copy most are not gonna buy an album they have.


Lil Wayne polluted the internet with pop songs for a years and people bought into it.I think people realize he is shit now and his next album will bomb.

Sales doesn't necessarily mean it is good music. It could be the current 'fad'. Who else remembers when fuckin scooters where huge? yep. Besides, recession is bad and Em has just resurfaced in the game..pree much what everyone else said before this.

no it doesn't mean it is good music but sales are showing us what people like..it can't be that bad if it sells 1 mill in 1st week..it seems that nowdays its cool to hate on wayne, being eminem fan means wayne hater and other way around,its redicilous..there is no real competition between these two..
