Eminem Sales Thread

That's not that bad when you see how Beyonce and 1D dropped.

You guys should really lower your expectations.

He IS nominated for a Grammy, and I have no fucking idea where y'all are getting the idea that "TM is not an album seller, stay away from those Em" and LTWYL is? Berzerk? Rap God?
How do you even KNOW singles have an important effect on album sales anyway?
TM is a No 1 single, had the largest amount of airplay at a certain point and was the most downloaded, I've no clue where y'all are getting your "not album seller" talk from.
And if you think Headlights is going No 1, then hah...

If TM was an album seller, MMLP2 wouldn't be shifting only 55-60k copies in it's 9th week. The sales climate might have gone to shit but for Em's standard thats bad. The song doesn't come across as genuine and screams manufactured hit. The subject matter is not relatable either and there isn't really much to talk about other aspects of the song. No live performances, the video was pretty self explanatory, etc.

A lot of shit can be said about Not Afraid but at the time it seemed genuine and was something we hadn't gotten from Em before. That's why it caught on. LTWYL was huge and became more than just a song. It became a topic of discussion and had so many things for people to talk about. It literally carried Recovery for months.

If Headlights becomes a single, it probably won't go #1 but for an artist like Em but it doesn't need to anyway. The subject matter alone will get people talking.

We hoped for more but that doesn't mean the sales aren't good... it's crystal clear it's the opposite.

Damn Beyonce is killing it though... that album came outta nowhere.

TMMLP2 sold almost 1,730,000 copies this year, same as TMMLP1 first....week. It's quiet funny that both of them ended year on 2nd place.

What do you think about "Stronger than I was" as a next single?

I hope not. Maybe "Legacy" or "Headlights".

I don't think Bad Guy would work as a single tbh. I don't see it getting that much airplay.

It's very likely (imo) there'll be no next single.

[Emadyville]

^ there should be another single in time
