He is in a way, 5 years knocking away quite a bit of the popularity he had. He had to re-introduce himself again. Looking at the recession and that. He's basically done like SSLP numbers.

i dont see how anyone can call Relapses sales bad, its obvious to every person that music is downloaded illegaly more n more so every year since he started out, it obvious that sales will be down when many people choose to download for free. And with the added on that its a reccsession people underestimate how good the sales are, not an artist on the planet will come near them sales this year.... untill Em returns again with Relapse 2.

Thats good knowing thousands of people downloaded the album for free , yet he reached 200k sales second week

LOL so true.... but Relapse actually did better numbers compared to SSLP
SSLP in 2 weeks sold 480 000 copies =]

most people just don't buy albums. surprisingly enough, alot of people don't know how to find full albums for download either. they only know where to get single mp3's. usually those people only download the mp3's they've already heard and like. so they go on limewire and download "We Made You" and leave it at that and never buy the album, or even download it. so it's not even that people choose to download the album instead. it's just people only want the one or two songs they've heard on the radio. cuz their thinking is, "why buy a cd of songs i haven't heard when i can put the two songs i did hear and burn it onto a cd with other songs i've heard?"
