Is this the most popular Eminem has ever been?

[Shit Can Happen]

No, noob, it's not.

[Zachemc2]

He's going back to his '02 levels. Not there yet, but slowly and surely. TES sold 1.32 million in it's first week, while Recovery sold 1.098 million. He's getting more popular as we speak.

I remember hearing Without Me, Cleain' Out My Closet, Sing for the Moment, and Superman on the radio quite a bit. Then 'Till I Collapse became a mega hit as well.

That's true. But I hear LTWYL a LOT now, on the same station too.

I hear LTWYL and Not Afraid quite a bit. Hopefully, I'll be hearing Space Bound or Talkin' 2 Myself soon if they become hits which I think they have the potential to. No Love could be a hit but it's not very radio friendly but then again niether is Superman.

@Trinell ^^^^

Must just be the area. I hear Not Afraid, LTWYL, and Airplanes (Part 1) quite a bit but that's it. No Love is actually pretty popular hear but it's never on the radio. Definetelly a hot track though.

he used to be a lot more outgoing, but of course now he's sick of it and he wants to keep low profile. I mean Gaga & Bieber are everywhere right now because they ARE everywhere, they never missed a chance to perform/make appearance/promote... while Em spend most of the time in his house. The only thing he still do as a celebrity is he still attend awards shows, other than that he pretty much living in his own world (good for him imo, he gave us enough "entertainment" in the past)

i havnt heard no love on the radio in detroit yet :?

[Slill_Slim_Shady]

I think he was most popular in 2002 when LY leaked!!!!! And after MMLP too but in 2002 he was on the top of the world!!! I remeber i was 4 or 5 grade and i wached LY or SFTM on the TV and my sister who is 2 years older than me tell me how money he had and i was like lol i wanna be him and she said don't wish it, he could go to jail, he could lose his dauther etc. and she never intersted from other music expect the local but she knews that - he was so fucking famous!!!!

[accutub]

Not even close.
In 00-03 ------ mass hysteria

He is popular now as he was when sslp dropped

[Alaine]

He is popular now as he was when sslp dropped

I don't think he would get the same standing ovation he got now when SSLP dropped

You are right but I meant :"teens liked him the same when sslp dropped"

[Alaine]

^ not a problem to me, teens go nuts for Bieber right now but Em's still selling more. To him it's all about the music now anyway. PLus he gained tons of respect from his peers & all up-coming rappers are looking up to him, that's what I like.

on Twitter i notice alot of Bieber stans love Eminem

In 2002...

TES sold over 400k copies it's first week (only two days because it was pushed up), then sold over 800k it's second week, so over 1.2 mill in 9 days.

TES was #1 for 5 straight weeks, then #1 in it's 13th and 14th weeks.

Lose Yourself was #1 for 12 straight weeks and his first #1 single.

8 Mile Soundtrack sold over 4 million copies and was top 5 selling of that year.

TES was the highest selling album that year, I believe it was 7.something or 8 million copies sold.

8 Mile Soundtrack was the first soundtrack to ever have back to back #1 showings on the billboard 200, for weeks #1 and #2. It then was #1 again in weeks 7 and 8.

He had the number 1 movie with 8 Mile, which at the time was the third highest grossing first weekend for a rated R film.

At the time he had the #1 album with the 8 mile soundtrack, the #1 movie with 8 Mile, #1 single with Lose Yourself, and the #7 or 8 album with TES.

I'd say 2002 was the biggest he ever was, and all those facts were off the top of my head...

-Stan

Edit: When the 8 mile dvd was released it was the highest grossing dvd release ever, brought in over 80 million, but that was in 2003

But that has since been broken, as well as the #1 soundtrack for more than 1 consecutive week, i think one did 3 weeks

Didn't he also sign 50 Cent in 2002? His "street cred" or w/e must have sky rocketed when he did that.
