Eminem Sales Thread

[Francesco]

Great points Rev... Em is nothing like a single-type selling artist but at the same time any artist out there have to have strong radio friendly singles if they're up to have good sales regardless. He still does all rounded albums rather that two singles plus 14 fillers kinda albums though. MMLP2 isn't even compromised the way others do to stay relevant.

I still can't believe people act like a plat plaque in week 2 & 4 very well selling singles isn't fucking great in 2013. Again... all other Em albums sell too.

What's more annoying is that they're saying Recovery was more successful.
Of course it was...EmSee x RedBull (which was huge), G-Shock, CoD, SNL, David Letterman performance + many interviews in the U.S
He was everywhere during Recovery's era. All he's done so far is perform at YT awards and SNL.

Word... We can't even know which one is more successful so far too... it's just week 2 for one of them. Twists & turns could go both ways from now on. Plus it's always very very wrong when people put artists' work against their older work from different stages of their career... 50's been suffering from that since GRODT too. Too many side factors people don't care to think about...

At the end of the day... it's just week 2 & the album is a great commercial success WW already. Wtf?

4.5M units for Recovery, that's pretty impressive when you think about it.

That album dominated the charts.

Waiting the prediction for this week

[Mikey1990]

Over on the Digital Songs chart, Eminem's "The Monster," featuring Rihanna, returns to No. 1 with 243,000 downloads sold (up 62% after last week's sum was deflated due to iTunes' Complete My Album returns.). Last week's leader, A Great Big World's "Say Something," featuring Christina Aguilera, falls to No. 12 with 76,000 (down 60%).

OneRepublic's "Counting Stars" hits a new high in both sales and chart position, as it climbs 3-2 with 163,000 (up 7%). Lorde's "Royals" slips 2-3 with 158,000 (down 15%), and Pitbull's "Timber," featuring Ke$ha, jumps 8-4 with 144,000 (up 20%).

Imagine Dragons' "Demons" drives to a new peak, rising 10-5 with 129,000 (up 17%), Avicii's "Wake Me Up!" is steady at No. 6 with 119,000 (down 6%), and Perry's "Roar" falls 5-7 with 117,000 (down 14%).

Passenger's "Let Her Go" rises 9-8 with 113,000 (down 4%) while "The Voice" contestant Matthew Schuler debuts at No. 9 with his cover of "Hallelujah" (106,000). Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" closes out the top 10, dropping 7-10 with 105,000 (down 13%).

Digital track sales this past week totaled 19.9 million downloads, down 4% compared with last week (20.6 million) and down 10% stacked next to the comparable week of 2012 (22 million). Year-to-date track sales are at 1.1 billion, down 4% compared with the same total at this point last year (1.2
billion).

I have never seen an artist have so many of their previous albums jump up the charts in any time span after a new release...Let alone for 2 weeks in a row. That's either evidence of Eminem's relatable nature, or the crappy state of music sales.

It's also an interesting look at which albums people prefer. 2nd week in and Relapse and Encore have dropped out.

Fucking nice.

[Mikey1990]

YOUR NEW RELEASES: Looks like Eminem will return to #1 next week; as you've probably guessed, the Aftermath/Interscope superstar has already crossed the 1 million sales threshold. But let's talk about this week's key debuts.

Five Finger Death Punch (Prospect Park) 75-80k
Hunger Games: Catching Fire (Republic) 60-65k
Daughtry (19/RCA) 55-60k
Yo Gotti (RCA) 40-45k
Nickelback (Roadrunner) 12-15k

Five Finger Death Punch's newest is the sequel to their The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell. Which kind of captures the mood around here on print deadline.

ima guess at 130-160k for MMLP2
