Final Numbers are In , Relapse Does 608,000

[Robbie G]

That's still a pretty solid first week for this day and age.

I just don't understand We Made You. NOBODY except die hard eminem fans like that song. It just wasn't enjoyable for the average person.

In terms of sales...dont know yet...in term of content....destroyed it.

[Jagsphan]

When are the itunes sales numbers going to be out?

I don't know about America, but in the UK, a few people have said to me "Eminems rubbish .. But that We Made You is pretty catchy "

Eminem lost....it proves that he's not as relevant anymore. Of course he can change that with a mixtape and several high profile features to set up Relapse 2. Thats how you put up Weezy numbers these days. A hot single is a must and We Made You was terrible and got very little radio play.

Yeah...Everyone I've talked to loves the album but hates we made you and CAB.

I don't know, but i wonder what would've happened if We Made You would've been the first song we heard, and CAB hadn't of leaked..

lmao who gives a fuck about sales.

Firstly you people saying 600k is a flop, in 2009, just coming out of the biggest recession since the depression, from an artist a decade in his career CRAZY.

Lil Wayne sold that because people were looking for a new hip-hop star, he came along at the right time and hit a fluke. And he was EVERYWHERE.

He got on every track possible and just did anything possible so people were overwhealmed to the point where a ton of people were calling him shit and a ton were calling him amazing.

So most people bought it to see what all the fuss was or was not about.

Whereas Em has been solidly established since 99'. There's not many people in Western society between the age of 16-mid 20's that haven't made up their mind on him. He was as big as fucking Elvis in 02.

Most people already know if they like him or not. It's also his FIFTH major release. Most artists sales decrease as years go on.

So 600k US, basically 800k worldwide at this time is brilliant.

I'm not Jimmy Iovine anyway so couldn't give a fuck about the sales of Relapse. Only the quality of the music arises my interest. And Relapse is awesome so I'm happy.

I heard Wayne's label bought a lot of copies of Tha Carter III to raise up his sales

[venomous_volatile]

Fuck it 600k is still amazing...

And the numbes might still be higher if were lucky

Or lower

*fingers crossed*

Fuck Weezy

[venomous_volatile]

Eminem doesn't care about sales, so I don't either!!!

True, true, Em's proved enough and made enough, plus we still got the mtv awards to come, sales will go up if em does good

:(

Cheer up Sac lol

[venomous_volatile]

He's number 1 by like 500 k lol

[Slovinec]

fuck the nasty sluts they dont know anything

[haydoz]

considering his album leaked like 2 weeks before the actual album release, 600k is pretty good. Also take into account there is a recession and people won't want to be spending money on an album.

[wrestler1256]

^^ lmao oh no.

Rub in what. The fact that Wayne finally sold a million in the first week on his SIXTH studio album.

Em sold staggering amounts with MMLP, EmShow and a lot with Encore.

Why do you care about sales.

Fact is, Relapse rapes Carter III in every possible sense lyrically, conceptually and musically.

because all these black strippers always go WaYNNE!!!! oh yea dj!!!! play that shit!! pisses me off.

what the fucks up with you and strippers?

[imarun10]

Those aren't surprising numbers, but I predicted closer to 800,000 in the US. The album was high quality though, so the numbers shouldn't matter to real fans.
