Eminem Sales Thread

Do you think recovery will go past 5mill worldwide ?

Eventually, it should.

Wouldn't be surprised if it sold 5 million in the US alone (eventually), but just give it time.

I dunno about that. I think 3.5 total US sales is very attainable

I think he could go 4x platinum in america by next yaer if he spreads his singles out well apart from each oler, etc.. no love - september, space bound - janurary and watever next around march/april !

well Interscope & Paul have been proven to be very weak at marketing Recovery so I have no doubt they'll keep dropping the ball with the singles. Like you said, with an album like this it could go 4x platinum, but it's only if they handled things right

Goddamn that's big for WW, and thanks for the updates on singles too AJ

They seemed to handle the singles right with the eminem show and encore, but then flopped again with relapse! THREE singles, not good enough!
How many do you think he'll release with this album, honestly ?

Well it's hard to bitch about the single choices when they are two for two with #1 hit's.

Hopefully they are smart and release Talkin' 2 Myself as a 3rd single.

People here seem to think "No Love" will be released but all that was tweeted is a video is in the works. Not that it will necessarily be a single. MTV in an article today just said a 3rd single hasnt been announced. Now i wouldn't necessarily consider mtv an end all be all source it's all we can really go by now.

From HDD:

The top of next week's chart is still too close to call, as a couple of hip-hop heavyweights continue to duke it out in a bout that promises to stay nip and tuck throughout the weekend. If Eminem is victorious, it will be his fifth consecutive week at #1. As for challenger Rick Ross, regardless of where he lands on the chart, dude’s on track to beat the first week of his previous release by about 25k. You’ll note that the top five releases listed below, and 10 of the 15, are from UMG.

Eminem (Shady/Aftermath/Interscope) 180-190k

[slimsoxshady]

[freaksworld]

^^ Holy shitt!!!

Even if he doesn't take no.1, that's fucking EPIC!! But i hope he does, damn it, it'd be a waste to not top this shit. Stans are determined LOL

[Alaine]

lol stans will be remembered

I bet those sales are remaining constant because of Rihanna's fans.

that can't be more wrong. Her album was released last year and it still hasn't crossed 1 mili yet

Hmm..is that so? Shocking.

lol Rihanna is a singles artist, she can't sell albums on her name, it's not that shocking.

Yeah, good point. I suppose Stans + Rihanna Stans is why LTWYL is selling so well.

I think the song success is majorly because of the song itself more than the names, sure it helped a little publicity but even if he choose some no-name to sing the hook (like Hayley william for example) it would still be as successful. Rihanna is the perfect choice though, because of her personal story.
