Did the leak help Recovery?

Postby iraqi4life » Jan 8th, '11, 23:55

The album leaked about 2-3 weeks before the USA release date, do you think this helped the sales?

Ermmmmm, no?
"So one last time, I'm back, 'fore it fades into black and it's all over, behold the final chapter in the saga, trying to recapture that lightning trapped in a bottle twice, the magic that started it all...tragic portrait of an artist tortured....trapped in his own drawings..." - Bruce.

When it leaked, EVERYONE was bumping that shit. Like I heard it in my town so much, I no longer felt special being the only guy in my town who bumps Eminem lol

Sometimes leaks do help, and in Recovery's case it actually helped because everyone heard that he was "back to normal" and plus it is a great album. A lot of my friends hate Relapse but love Recovery, and not because of LTWYL, they actually like the music itself better too

Came back to annihilate, the game's in dire straights, as I await
Word on Satan, as I drop, fall to my knees before this Quija board and I pray
Now I lay me down to sleep
I do this shit in my sleep, I’m sleepin' now, imagine if I awake

It made me wanna buy the actual album 100%

Still good quality music, and it's Eminem, who wouldn't actually buy the album? Also I know tons of people who didn't listen to the leaks, until they bought the actual album.

I wanted an album so rugged nobody could touch it.
Spent a million a track and went over my budget.
Now how in the fuck am I supposed to get out of debt?
I can't rap anymore, I just murdered the alphabet.
