What songs should've been singles instead of original ones?

Postby Stanforever » Mar 31st, '12, 14:07

from each eminem album,in your opinion?

SSLP:rock bottom should've been second single and role model as 4th single.
MMLP:all singles were perfect.it would've been great if he had released KIM as a single.imagine a music video for it.
TES:till i collapse must've been a single.it would've done great on charts.
ENCORE:i wish he never released this album.first 4 singles were fine but Ass like that?single?lol.
RELAPSE:no song other than beautiful is a single material in this album.though 3am is a great song,it wasn't a single material.music box would've done great if it was a proper single.
RECOVERY:cinderella man would've done better than space bound in my opinion.


Thanks to Emadyville.

Im back was gonna be a single. em said so himself. We owe Jimmy iovine for telling em that they wanted another silly pop single. bc of that we got the real slim shady and of course The way i am. Thank you jimmy for turning MMLP into a classic

SSLP- Perfect
MMLP- Perfect
TES- I would probably replace Superman with 'Til I Collapse(Would have been Eminem's greatest hit tbh)
Encore- Album should not exist, therefore all singles should have never happened. I'd say Encore would have been the best choice for a lead single, though
Relapse- Not much you can do here, he chose the right songs
Recovery- Perfect. Talkin' 2 Myself should have been a single instead of No Love though...darn you Wayne.

Slim Shady LP - None

Marshall Mathers LP - None

The Eminem Show - Till I Collapse should have been the 3rd single and had a video instead of Superman.

Encore - Curtains Down should have been the last single and had a video instead of Ass Like That.

Relapse - None

Recovery - The first three singles were great choices but Cinderella Man Should have been the last single and had a video instead of Space Bound.
Fuck top five, bitch, I'm top four
And that includes Biggie and Pac, whore
And I got an Evil Twin
So who the fuck do you think that third and that fourth spot's for?

Do I need to point out Role Model, Encore and Elevator were all singles? Also, Mosh wasn't, it was given out for free.

SSLP: Rock Bottom shoulda been the second single, other than that I liked the singles.
MMLP: Great single choices, plus the content of most of the songs would have made horrible single choices with all of the editing and censoring.
TES: Till I collapse should have been his second single, I was never a big fan of cleaning out my closet, and SFTM was perfect as well as superman being released as a single. Maybe a video for business woulda have been good.
Encore: Decent single choices minus just lose it and ass like that. He shoulda released the song Encore as the first single and had a video imo.
Relapse: He shoulda put be careful what you wish for on it and made that the first single, woulda been a great video and comeback single.
Recovery: Almost famous woulda had a sick video but woulda gotten little if any radio play with the cursing. Should released No Love sooner, like 2 months after the album was released and not done space bound when they did, they waited too long.

He shoulda had drop the bomb on em as a single/video for relapse refill.

Didn't know though, I knew they used it in that Santa Claus commercial or whatever but didn't know it was an actual single.

Video woulda been nice, given Relapse a bit more exposure.

It would have been sweet to get a video for Refill (aside from Forever if that's even able to count). Elevator and Hell Breaks Loose were those kind of iTunes singles with simplistic covers of a picture of Eminem if I recall correctly.

SSLP: None
MMLP: None
TES: None
Encore: Never Enough should have replaced Ass Like That. I don't see many other songs being singles
Relapse: Elevator should have been on the album and been the first single. Relapse would have probably sold a little more first week. Keep the other singles as they are
Recovery: The two lead singles are perfect for singles. WTP should have replaced No Love. Cinderella Man should be a single.

Em is actually VERY good at choosing his singles though. I'll give him that.
