What Route Do U Think Em Will Go For On 1st R2 Single?

[Mikey1990]

whats more important ?

A) for it to be a huge hit top 5 on billboard
which means it could be a pop song

or

B) a great song thats does well top 30 on billboard
but isnt a huge hit

i think B

[Mikey1990]

But pop is just short for popular

So if it was number 1, it would be pop regardless

lose yourself was #1 it wasnt pop

As was Like Toy Soldiers. A great Em song will be popular regardless.

I think A. If it was something like Stan, it would shoot to 1 and not be pop.

Stan was like 60 on Billboard Today probably wouldn't make top 100.

Pop doesn't instantly mean bad music, it just means popular music which just so happens to be bad most of the time lol

no but generlly people consider artists like lady gaga,britney spears etc and there songs pop

im sure ems lead single will do very well
interscope usually promote it well
they always release ems lead single to 40 radio stations the pop stations were all the big hits are on
and the most radio spins

[slimsoxshady]

I bet $100 we haven't gotten R2 yet because Interscope isn't liking any first single candidates and is making Em keep trying to make the perfect one...in other words make a retarded one

This is the hardest Em album to predict. We all know its 99% that he won't go for his usual formula on the first single so it's all very excitind as we haven't a clue what to expect. I reckon a career reflection song would be nice.

dR.dR3. has a point this is the first thing I thought of when I saw this topic

Complex:
To that point, all of your albums have followed certain conventions as "Eminem albums," and though Relapse was well-received, "We Made You" was the first time that the funny-lead-single formula didn't fully connect.
Eminem:
Yeah, looking back on it now I don't know if that was 100 percent the way to go. I kind of liked the way the beat felt like it was slower in the chorus and then it sped up for the verses, but stepping back and looking at it as an average consumer or somebody who goes to a club, it might have been hard to figure out what the hell was going on in the song. On the other hand, it was the only option we had and the album might not even be out now if we hadn't found a song that was clean enough for radio. But am I going to go in that direction again? Probably not.

I still think R2 is going to come on the same date as R1 but one year on. Relapse release date was announced on Mar 5th last year i think.

March 6th, I think. We might be getting some big info next month.

I'm not expecting the album to drop June/July. I just think with Em still making new music he obviously hasnt decided on a final tracklist, single or stuff yet, hes tryna perfect this album and we know what he's like with perfecting his music. Can't see it any earlier than June. Hope I'm wrong though.

And of course, hopefully changing that damn name!!

That song as single will sink more than WMY

On R2 it would but not on R1. The intro sums up where his been and whats happened in the his hiatus and he reflects on his career. To be fair, it wouldnt have given us any clue about what the album was like but still wudda been sick.
