Eminem Sales Thread

[TheGentlePlayer]

He's not smart enough to release Spacebound as a single though. It should have been performed after No Love when he was on television with Lil Wayne.

No cus Recobery was still selling like hell at that time. No need to release it now.


Just watch.

If C4 drops in February, Ems 40th week will do something like Waynes 8-9th week

Eminem, Drake Lead Rap Sales Surge in 2010

While there was plenty of dispiriting news in Nielsen SoundScan's year-end numbers for 2010, there were a couple of bright spots: For one, rap music made a big comeback last year, driven by the top-selling album of the year, Eminem's "Recovery," and the non-traditional store sector became the No. 1 retail channel.

While its bump was not huge -- just 3% -- rap was the only genre to post an album-sales increase last year, scanning 27.3 million units, up from 26.4 million units in the prior year -- and five straight years of declining sales, according to Nielsen SoundScan. 2009 saw a nearly 21% drop from 2008's 33.4 million sales, continuing a plunge from 2007's 41.7 million, 2006's 59.5 million and 2005's total scans of 75.1 million. Moreover, in each of those years, the rap decline was larger than the overall U.S. album market's decline.

Along with Eminem's 3.415 million sales for the year, other big sellers in the genre include Drake's "Thank Me Later" (1.27 million), Kanye West's "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" (882,000), Nicki Minaj's "Pink Friday" (852,000) and Lil Wayne's "Rebirth" (710,000) and "I Am Not a Human Being" (664,000), according to Nielsen SoundScan.

It's all a far cry from the way that rap began the new millennium: It sold 107 million units in 2000, racking up 13.6% of overall U.S. album sales. By contrast, hip-hop finished 2010 with 8.3% of all U.S. album sales.

Glad Em isn't on course to set this record:

"Taylor Swift may add an unwanted footnote to her career by setting a record for the lowest total ever for a #1 album. Currently the Dreamgirls soundtrack holds that undistinguished title with sales of 60k for the week ending 1/14/07."

[mangomunky]

wow half of those top selling acts are country artists.

He's not smart enough to release Spacebound as a single though. It should have been performed after No Love when he was on television with Lil Wayne.

I think he's just not comfortable to sell out this song. He never talked about it and he never performed it during his shows. Unless the radio picks the song up I don't think he will push it as the single. Besides, the song is too good for the mainstream radio. It would sound so out of place. I don't want this song to get overplayed anyway.

[EM1973]
