Eminem Back At Number One; Goes Double Platinum

Wednesday, August 18 2010 10:11 AM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, True Story

What this guy’s doing is silly. Not only has Eminem’s Recovery reclaimed the top spot on Billboard, but the album has sold over two million copies—2,112,996 to be exact. Yeah, it’s still 2010. So far, the project is this years second highest seller behind Lady Antebellum’s Need You Now.

    EMINEM keep doin big things…….as usually…..GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!!!!(drake voice and kanye voice)…..they know whats up…….Peace out Lame Fucks!!

  11. Kidd Rapp says:

    Eminem is winning, Drake is in 2nd place(although far behind) lol nonetheless hip hop is winning. Clap for em… J Coles next see what he do with it?

  12. That Dude says:

    if you hate Em and Recovery why you reading a post about it goin double plat? I hate when you fags get on here hating when someone wants to try something different.. what yall want the dude to make the MMLP over and over and over again?? then yall would be mad about that sayin he never switch his style up. There were one or two filler tracks on Recovery but most of the album was strong.. he ahead of the game and yall ain’t caught up yet.. a few yrs from now maybe you’ll get it yung uns..

    same niggas hatin on Em will be nuttin up over any piece of shit Kanye put out.. a nigga could play a kazoo and cow bell and make a video showin paint drying and yall niggas would swear it was so dope and innovative.. lol

  13. That Dude says:

    Kidd Rapp- he ain’t gonna do nothing with it… dude is always gonna be a marginal act.. he aight but he doesn’t seem to have it in him to transcend the game.. he always just gonna be another dude in the game.

  42. Evelyn Turner says:

    Congratulations to Eminem on going Double Platinum with the “Recovery” album. He is a prime example of true talent, regardless of the Trials & Tribulations in his Life. He went thru a bad patch, got some help, and then continued to get work done. You can’t hate him for that.

  43. Yes Huh says:

    @ Dagooch

    Eminem has indeed sold about 90 million albums world wide. A simple google search would tell you this.

    From wikipedia:

    “Eminem is the best-selling rapper of all-time[1] and the best-selling artist of the 2000s[2] with US album sales at over 32.2 million[3] and worldwide album sales standing at over 80 million.[4] “

  46. bigjay2501 says:

  47. crack yo girlz jaw bone says:

    Niggas hatin on Recovery don’t know music or are stuck in they little gucci mane box.. bet if EM had the same album but told yall dumb niggas that Kanye did all the beats.. all of a sudden a nigga would be ahead of his time.

    You don’t like hip-hop if you listen to that album and say its trash.. i know you salty that the white boi doin his thing… but damn.. HATE looks worse on yall then skinny jeans on yo girlfriend.. get a life niggas..

    Ain’t no album sellin 2million if its garbage.. get over it bitches. Niggas don’t own hip-hop, its universal.. just cuz a nigga ain’t talkin about movin O’s.. shootin niggas, and doin bids.. (that these niggas never did.. ) yall act like it ain’t hip hop.. when niggas hate on Gucci yall say whatever get yo money guc.. etc.. but then yall turn around and shit on shady.. lol

    ^ and a major LMFAO at the conspiracy dude up top that think Interscope bought all the albums… lol.. bet you think UFOs probed yo ass too don’t ya nigga.

  48. LAVA says:

    Shawn only drew The Blueprint. Marshall is The Architect.

    2010 belongs to Mr. Marshall Bruce Mathers III.

  49. Black Shady says:

    This nigga NEVER took a L hahaha

  50. FOOTS says:

    Do People still hate on Eminem? And for succeeding? Thats cold blooded, he never got this much hate back then…why hate him now? Is it cuz yall mad yall expected him to fail with his comeback? Are you mad cuz your fav artist isnt selling but he is? Are yall made cuz his “shitty” album is selling so much? SMH black people these days, hate to see another man win.
