Eminem Sales Thread

[Shpongle]

Recovery is his most stable album by far (chart-wise)
But...a lot of members here fail to recognize it's value

Cause it's shit compared to his other albums, it does have some great tracks but overall it's not that great..

boo you

how did katy perry top him this week

Katy Perry has relatively good selling powers
People mistake her for single-artist, but not necessarily.
Her last album opened with only 190k yet ended up over 2.8 million now and it's still charting
In 2 years(at most) that album will be 3 platinum.
But back to your question, last week, her PRISM's standard version got discounted on itunes, hence the surge for her digital sale.
Besides, their sales have been close to each other since the week after Black Friday, so it's quite understandable

i figured there might have been a price drop that helped it. but thanks for that

Almost everything is better than Encore

"He's triple platinum, doing 50 a week Still"

Yeah 50's are vital for the longevity of the albums & were even more than that for TSSLP 'cuz it started way slower than all the rest. Recovery had some incredible run of 50's as well.

I do like Recovery a lot & its longevity is insane indeed... LTWYL exploded & that helped a lot for its popularity & longevity but for example in the good ol' days they had totally different strategies considering the overall sales at the time so for example TMMLP's & TES' overall stability was absolutely insane & that's why their total numbers are that crazy too.
The other thing is they gave a lotta space to Recovery 'cuz it'd be definitely different if Em dropped another album in like a year or two tops after Recovery was released or like soon after the BME EP.
For example TMMLP was released in September '00 & TES was released in May '02 & was followed by 8 Mile later on that same year... on top of it Devil's Night was released in the meantime in June '01 & D12's World was released in April of '04 & Encore followed in a few months time. That makes 6 albums in 4 years time & 50's & Obie's debuts on Shady came in '03 too.

YES it beat Katy?

[RSoares]

50-60k next 4 weeks and it'll reach 2x plat.

[Grady]

Wasn't expecting Billboard's numbers to be higher than HDD this time. 5k difference is not too bad and matched predictions.

That is very true. Not just here either but in general, people seem to be unable to objectively judge the album and recognize the purpose it served. I think it sucks for the most part but I can't deny it single-handedly put Em back on the mainstream map. If Em had continued on the road of Relapse he would probably barely go plat now.

I think TES was his most stable album though. It sold 100k+ for like 30 weeks and has/had crazy longevity
