Eminem Recovery Reigns Supreme
June 29, 2010 @ 4:00 PM EDT
News
The final numbers aren’t in until tomorrow, but Hits Daily Double tallies that Eminem’s Recovery has moved over 750,000 copies. If the figures hold up, the album becomes this year’s highest seller and Em’s fifth consecutive solo number one.
UPDATE: Drum roll please. According to Soundscan final numbers are 741,000 copies. Congrats!
QUICK, before the HATERS come!
Good shit, HIP HOP WINS AGAIN. That Miley Cyrus garbage moved like 100k.
first nigga!
LMAO WORD! I tried the same thing
Congratz!!!!
Drizzy came in 2nd good overall hold up!
@Word…Do you guys know what the term “Hater” really means? You and mac DIESEL seem to really not understand the concept. You just said, “QUICK, before the HATERS come!” right before you HATED on Miley Cyrus. Do you guys not think about what you write before you write it?
A good album Deserves Good numbers..
Sales don’t mean a thing but i’m glad Em moved nearly double the amount Drake did. This will be platinum early next week.
Kool
but we all know that’s the last of the big numbers for hip hop this year
LOL, Em outsold Drakes 1st and 2nd week combined
so Em sold 700,000 more copies than The Roots….hmmm….
Congrats but Em selling alot is no surprise to me
@Jaewon
Hop off. Nigga, why not comment on the post before you comment on mine.
GREATEST RAPPER/MC DEAD OR ALIVE. CONGRATES TO EM. I COUNT FOR TWO FO THOSE ALBUMS SOLD.
RECOVERY=MASTERPIECE
… except for WTP. =/
haha fuck all the haters who said he wont do a mill
in the us and uk alone he has done
920,822 nd thats just 2 out of the whole world
haha he`s took over the world again
Eminem is one of the best rappers ever
Recovery is a GOOD album, his best since TES
Im really happy for my nigga Em!! “Seduction” is a beasttttttttt
@Word…Because the post speaks for itself. If you and mac DIESEL didn’t post your hating comments in every post then I wouldn’t say anything to you. Put it this way…where ever you hate…Ill be there commenting on you.
YOOOOOOOO, HE BODIED DRAKE.
NO NAMES ON PLANES AND HE STILL CRUSHES DRAKE.
Old fake industry machine made hype self sucka.
“Forced hype is for suckas. If you’re half Jew, the industry forces you down fans throat and they calling you great when u average to the art, you’re ashy and your breath stink, fake hype crab”
Lol. .
Ok, stand can get at me now.
@Jaewon
Uh….okay….
And for the record…. Eminem did 750,000 first week, most people who bought it would’ve been real hip hop fans (Like me) unlike the people who purchased Drake’s album which mostly would’ve been purchased by kids and girls.
@Drucifer
Lol, his digital sales of the album outsold Miley’s full sales.
congrats to em.. But we all knew he was gonna do big numbers.. Its kinda wierd it seems like there wasnt too much promo for this album also.. Maybe its cus he didnt have the usual wack celeb bashing 1st single and video this go round.. Loving the album btw..
@ e hustle u are smoking crack if u think em is the greatest!
@PITRI .remember last week when RR had a picture of a huge crowd for a canceled drake concert, and people said Aubrey was going to outsell EM LMFAO!!!! damn them ninjas was wrong
Yall niggas make it not worth kommenting
HE FLOP…………..HA !
THE GREAT WHITE HOPE HAS FALLEN…….
LIP SYNCING ON STAGE……
RELAPSE WAS BULLSHIT……..
” Where the Fuck is BRUNO when you need him ”…..- Eminem
Nobody else can do this.
Repost if your tired of Niggas acting like you can’t fuck with both Eminem and Drake… Congrats to them both. Em is already Legend status, Drake is still baby Bjorn. Hop off haters!
great sales
FINALLY…I’VE GOING BACK AND FORTH ALL DAY
LOL EM BETTER THAN YOUR FAVORITE RAPPER….YOU KNOW WHO I’M TALKING ABOUT!! LOL
b4 the haters hop all over this …. CONGRATS to EM and BIGGER CONGRATS to HIP HOP! WE got the highest album sale of the year! Lets keep it that way! ….
Recovery is also a dope album.
Only reason he does
big numbers is because he’s got white America buying a shit load of his albums! Thus when a black artist puts out a classic album it doesn’t do well cause white America ain’t buying the album!
Eminem Can’t Give Us A Milli……
But Tha Carter 4 Can………
#FreeWeezy
@Jaewon
You should aim your Stalker Scope at that other WORD!!!, thats a real hater for you to entertain yourself with.
expected… but yh congrats em stand the fuck up for the almighty whitey!
@WORD…Jaewon jus put you to bed
@Jeawon…Well said
^^@ the weezy stan im not even gonna explain :}
@fuck the haters
Big props to you. People don’t realize Em is still apart of our culture. He’s still one of us despite being white. Hear that people? HIP HOP has got the highest opening week of the year.
drake sale r not final
@WORD!!!…You do understand the BET Awards is a big, multi million dollar, production right? You do understand you have thousands of people in there screaming and singing along with the performers right? 99% of most performances have audio playing the the background to ensure that the performance can be heard. Have you ever been on stage or around something like that…or worked in audio? If so you would understand. But I am guessing you havent. I worked on Eminem’s Anger Management tour and they used the background audio then too. This isn’t anything new in music.
6 THE ROOTS DEF JAM/IDJ 49,320
How sad…
Thats My Nigga marshall……I Love all The criticism bring it all, yall could had skiped the post but know lol White Boy Stays Winning……He just doesnt know how to FLOP!!!! unlike other artists
*cough* *cough* Rebirth
Drake who?
@Mr. G
Thats cause Black America dont wanna buy shit. I’m sure millions of black people loved Distant Relatives, but how many of them niggas gonna go out and cop it? Stop tryna blame it on white people all the time, its our fault too. Out of the 750k Eminem moved, im sure about 300k are black. Shit, 350k-400k are probably not white at all.
FUCK EMINEM! WHITE CRACKER BYING HIS SHIT! DRIZZY ALL DAY> OVO YMCMB CLICK LETS GO!
@ Roy
Yeah, Miley cyrus caught a heavy brick with that one, lol……..
happy recovery has done sp well it’s an amazing album.
@Mr. G…So, Eminem did well his first week because he is white? Wayne did 1 million+ last year in his first weak why?
KING MATHERS!!!! G.O.A.T.
@Drucifer
I was on a Miley board the other day just to see what they thought about Miley coming out the same day Em is. They actually thought Miley would out sell him. SMH
Eminem’s “Recovery” Sells 753,870 In Its First Week…
The numbers are finally in! According to Hits Daily Double, Eminem‘s Recovery has sold 753,870 copies the first week. Really good numbers!……
I love the fact that Eminem is dominating in album sells…It’s sending a message to the music industry that Hip Hop can still be successful….Congrats Eminem you deserve….you did it all with know Hype at all unlike other artists
@ Flow J
Rebirth Didn’t Flop It Went Gold Not To Mention It Leaked On The Internet 2 Month Early And Was A Experimental Project
With That Said Carter 4 Doing 900k
@THE REAL AUBREY STAN
YOU DO REALIZE DRAKE IS WHITE TOO RIGHT?? FAGGOT ASS NIGGA, DO YOUR HOMEWORK NIGGA, DUDE IS A CANADIAN JEW. YET ITS FUCK EMINEM CUZ HES A “CRACKER”??
WTF people still buy those NOW cd’s??

album is classic fo real, dont care what anybody say, this is classic for me…. Infinite, Slim Shady, Marshal Mathers, Eminem Show, Recovery = Classics in my book
@Jaewon Last year? Nigga you stupid?
He sold like 2 copies of rebirth.
IF YOU WORK WITH EMINEM CAN YOU PLEASE HAVE THE BALLS TO TELL HIM TO STOP LIP SYNCING……..
THE SHIT WAS HORRIBLE…….
THE MIC WAS 50 INCHES AWAY FROM HIS MOUTH JUST LIP SYNCING AND SHIT…..
EMINEM = BRITTANY SPEARS LIP SYNCING…..
IF EMINEM THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE WHY DO HE LIP SYNCS……..HUH
JAY Z DON’T HAVE PLAYBACK WHEN HE RAP……
KAYNE DIDN’T
JEEZY DIDN’T
WAYNE DIDN’T
JUST FACE THE FACT EMINEM SUCKS ON STAGE
EMINEM = CAN’T GET RIGHT ON STAGE
NUFF SAID…….

@word kanyes performance was horrible
ha i love reading all the haters furious comments no seriously it makes me smile makes my day keep it comin! 😀 while marshall stay winnin
@all black everything yeezys will do good numbers but still dont think he will beat recovery
*
@ eminem102
Read My post Over I Never Said It Went Gold In A Week But It Went Gold Not A Flop
Congrats to the G.O.A.T.!!
@Word!!!
You saw that Letterman performance right? And you saw the BET performance right?
Both of those, it it’s very CLEAR that he’s not lip syncing. Seriously, EVERYONE can tell he wasn’t. Even when his mic was low, I don’t think they played play back. Maybe except the high notes in the chorus. You’re trippin homie.
EMINEM IS STILL #1. LIVE HIM. <3
So, let me get this straight
Eminem has the highest selling first week of the year
People on the internet are arguing about it, some calling it a pop album, others calling it a classic, some saying he only sold because he’s white, others saying he’s the best MC Dead or Alive
Yep, things are back to normal
Eminem isnt white, well he is not cacuasian haha.hes scottis, english, german, swiss and polish!! so haha.
@ FOOTS
SUCK MY DICK NIGGA DRAKE GET A PASS CUZ HE WITH WEEZY YMCM ALL DAY FAGGOT AND ALSO
HALF CRACKER > FULL CRACKER ANYDAY!
[…] to RR. Is it safe to say Recovery (probably) isn’t on shelves right now lol! Share & […]
@Mr. G …
Your point = Fail.
Unless Wayne and Jay are both white, of course. They BOTH went platinum just last year, you racist ass. GTFOH with that hate – we don’t need you.
@Roy…Comparing Miley Cyrus’s record sales to Eminem’s means what? Two different genres…two different audiences…two different artist. Not really a balanced comparison in my opinion. Also, what if you were to compare Miley Cyrus’s TV rating to Eminem’s? Miley wins that. What if you compared Miley Cyrus’s merchandising sales to Eminem’s? Miley would win that too. You usually can’t accurate compare two things when there isnt a relation to one another. That is where the term “It’s like comparing apples to oranges” comes from.
@ faget ass WORD!!!
But wayne did need to use auto tune when he performed Forever with eminem and drake huh? why did he need to use autotune??? cause hes voice is even worser live!!
@eminem102 that lame ass nigga is bias……kanye is one of my fav rappers, but dude stood on a plastic mountain the whole time…waving his arms trying to fly or somethin, Power is my ish……..Eminem is that dude…
@D-manded
Where were you when Aubrey was getting attacked? How come you people cant support equal opportunity!
I know no one else is going to fuck with these numbers this year. But I still hope that T.I. and Kanye can maybe do Drake numbers. What do you guys think? Hip Hop needs more success albums like these Lets all take a moment and thank Drake and Eminem for what they are doing for the game right now. And hope for future success from REAL artists.
can you motherfuckers just stfu!! trying to look smart & shit.
@ jaewon, yes cause he’s white!!! And weezy did a mill o the Carter 3 on the srtength of his promotion and the anticipation of what everyone knew was going to be. Clssic album. This included white america too!! Why didn’t weezy do another mill w/ his latest album? Explain that and don’t say because it was a wack album. Cause em has ha waxk albums and they still go platinum!
In HipHop only Kanye can sell more album than em this year
@Roy damn leave that lame alone…..your just giveing him fuel to hate and dickride more…..he just lookin for attention
haha at all the people lost in their own fantasy land thinkin drake or any rapper would out sell eminem.
to those who r hatin on em, go post ur bullshit on some utube video.
this is a hip hop site, and those r great news for hip hop.
4
@mac DIESEL…So, now if I post in a thread I am obsessed? Don’t you do the same? Aren’t you posting hate in everyone’s thread? So, wouldn’t that make you, as you say, a “GROUPIE”?
ROFLMAO…THESE COMMENTS ARE THE GREATEST!!!
….HE STILL BETTER YOUR FAVORITE RAPPER!! LMAO
@Jaewon
I can compare anything I want. You won’t stop me.
@Mr. G
Wayne’s dope, but he won’t sell a milli again. And if he does, it’s going to be when the music industry is better than it is now. I don’t think anyone will sell a milli for a while.
@Ricsipop
its possible for Kanye to sell more than Em but i doubt it. Kanye last album did ike 400-500k and now people hate him cause of the tayor swift stunt so idk.
Recovery/Shady/Aftermath/Gunit Allllllllllllll dayyyyyyy!
@word u probably don’t even buy albums, and u talkn ish!
@Roy…Indeed.
@Mr. G…You seem to have a race complex.
@ Eminem is beastin’ it
U Should Take Gunit Off The Are Wack
HERE COME ALL THE WEEZY AND YOUNG MONEY GROUPIES!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol……jk……….nothin but respect i want evrybody to Win in HIp Hop, i dont want knowbody to Fail….Aubrey last week and Marshall this week, lets see if Mr. West can do it and clifford harris
@Drucifer Cosign
That`s right baby!!!
kanye with two back to back hits one with em and he might be able to hit 700k
Do people understand what he’s done. Eminem took FIVE YEARS OFF OF MUSIC! Let me rephrase that…a HIP HOP ARTIST took FIVE YEARS OFF OF MUSIC and come back and is possibly going to release the back to back highest selling albums of the year(2009- Relapse, 2010- Recovery maybe). And look at his promotion. Do you see Eminem ALL over the radio or tv..more now (especially since Not Afraid debuted #1..1st time a rapper did that in YEARS!)? Put it in perspective..
Wayne in 2008 came off of 2 years of basically hopping on EVERYONE’S SONG…DOING VIDEOS WITH EVERYONE…then even on top of that he dropped Lolipop AND A Mili and THEN after that SUPER MEGA OVERSATURATION he sold 1.05 million(not 1.5 million like a lot of people have been saying.)
Eminem in 2009 ONE single (barely did anything)..barely on tv..barely on radio….what does it do…600,000+ in first week.
When Wayne isnt given this COLLOSAL promotion what happens? 2010..releases Rebirth…175,000 1st week and his album before Carter III sold 255,000 1st week…so was Carter III a fluke?
The stupid will be stupid….This guy is talented, dont get me wrong…But lets not kid ourselves he sells because of two reasons he’s white and is a monster…This is his best work since MM LP
lol congratz em
now all i want to know is where all the dudes who said drake was gonna outsell eminem
The KING is Here!
How many of Weezy’s sales were chicks??? I bet half lol…
oh I love the album too BTW…
it doesnt matter who buys the music…half of 2Pac fans were women…
Platinum First Week
Good shit em
And finally we got to know the numbers with a 2 day delay
@The Real Aubrey Stan
You do realise that your screen name is made up of two Eminem sayings? Therefore everything say hating on Em is invalid, without Em you wouldnt even have that name, your whole persona is so ironic it’s hilarious.
Damn, the haters on rap radar or dumb!!!
Shady is back man.
http://clintbeefman.wordpress.com
Ya’ll thinking Em is lipsyncing are just blant out STUPID or IN DENIAL… Michael Jackson lipsynched, Britney Spears lipsynched… but not Eminem. I bet you guys think Em lipsynched his 2001 grammy performance of Stan too right? (fu’**ing idiots).
As for the sales, No other rapper will be able to outdo these firstweek sales this year, Drake had with no doubt the best hype and promo / airplay, and didn’t even manage 2/3 of Em’s sales. Haters can hate all they want, but at the end of the day, Em will still be the best-selling artist since he started out. Also, people claiming that “white america” is buying all the records, well “black america” is still a minority, so it”s obvious that more “white buyers” will buy the album… Em appeals to all races/colours etc… He’s a great musical talent – FU** YOU if you think otherwise!
@justinaire
Carter 4 Doing More Than Recovery
With That Said Rebirth Wasn’t A Rap Album So If U Compare Recovery Vs Rebirth Sales U Are Dumb Not To Mention It Leaked 2 Months Early
@ jawon aka Stalker Scope
U TALKIN’ ABOUT ME EVEN BEF
ORE U TALK ABOUT THE POST!!!! I DON’T EVEN HAVE TO MENTION YA NAME ON MY COMMENTS FOR U TO TALK ABOUT ME!!!! U COME ON RAPRADAR AND AUTOMATICALLY TYPE “mac DIESEL” AND JUST TALK ABOUT ME LIKE IT’S ROUTINE…LIKE AN OBSESSED GROUPIE WOULD!!!! HA!!!! U BEEN SWEATIN’ ME FOR THE PAST TWO DAYS AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT AIN’T GONNA STOP ANYTIME SOON!!!! BUT IT’S ALL GOOD!!!! U AMUSE ME AND I CAN USE A GOOD LAUGH!!!! HA!!!! SHAMELESS GROUPIE!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Wow such dumb ass haters. I think em is the best there is and the best there will be. Period. I think drake is ok (too soft for me like Sade) but even I have to realize that he lasted one freaking week now he’s gone. I mean how sad is it to be number 1 for like 3 days till you hear oops sorry bro next week em ripped you by like 350k units. Drake even put out a few more songs out this week and no-one noticed. I am puerto-rock too so don’t get on the white racist shit when I brought the album as well. Sorry Recovery was just a better album as a whole. The momentum has shifted Em’s way with his new change, his rehabilitation and more radio friendly songs. That got him the mass appeal we always needed him to get. Top selling artist of the decade. And don’t give me the “Wayne is gonna sell a milli first week” bullshit. There is no way with this recession. Wayne’s album came out 2 years ago and it was like his what 5th album before he got platinum. Em went platinum his second album and will go platinum by next week. Top selling artist of the decade you retarts. In total period sales blow all the comp away. Not only he is more hardcore then drake you cant fuck with the wordplay. Period. All Hate the White Obama. lol
@Andrew..will just have to wait and see..But Sales aint gona change shit! Im Pretty sure Recovery will be >C4 quality wise..
@justinaire
literally the smartest post ive seen in about a month. everyone overlooks those facts
In this white man’s world we the ones chosen.
Ye will do this number if not better and will be a hundred times better only em fans like recovery and he has a lot of them. Good ass job.
@PITRI
I Respect Your Opinion
Props to Em.
@low down dirty
No The Post Was Really Wack U Can’t Compare really Compare None Of Those Albums If U Think About It Maybe Relapse And Carter 3
Wasn’t everyone’s mic fucking up @ the EBT awards?
But back to the original post at hand: Congrats to Eminem for another solid album.
And I copped The Roots as well and that album is nice as well.
Just that hip hop “fans” are fickle.
@giselle i respect drake i think hes slightly overrated but hes doin his thing and attacked wat fuck u talkin bout?
@damone
Well yea of course Em fans like Recovery. That’s how music usually works. Artists fans usually like their music. That’s how it is for Kanye, Wayne, Drake, etc.
couldn’t care less about sales number.
Recovery is, objectively, a weak record.
and I like Em as an MC.
no one selling more than em this year. he’s best selling artist of the decade for a reason fool!! ….over 700k even with early leak is great. bunch of haters in here
The Wayne fans who are saying Rebirth didnt flop are the same people who were saying 50 flopped. they both flopped and pretty much had the same circumstances going on for them. So suck it up and admit wayne flopped. Carter 4 wont sell 500,000. Quote it.
@Mik
Care to explain why it’s a weak record? I can understand if you like the raw Em more than the reflective Em. I know a lot of people that prefer songs like On Fire, Almost Famous, and songs from his earlier records. I personally like both sides of Em. I like the artistic expression. And in that regard, it’s not weak at all.
Whats up with this having to do with race?
Did Drake do half the numbers eminem did because he`s half white?
@Roy
I think that it’s just mediocre stuff: nothing really outstanding. the same subjects, the same sounds, the same everything AND no thing that surprises me. But that’s just my opinion. Respect for the sales!
@ Hush
R U Smart I Guess Not U Can’t Compare Them Albums On The Circumstances If Rebirth Didn’t Leak Wayne Would Have Sold 350 – 500 His First Week Plus It Was A Experimental Project Many Of His Rap Fans Didn’t Support It – 50 Album Was The Same Rap Album – 50 Cent Next Album Will Flop But Carter 4 Will Go Plat… Ask Around I Bet I’m Right
Em is good, but to have the MASSES behind him makes it even better for his sales. A white artist selling to majority white people and black people is gravy…a black artist trying to sell to majority white people and black – pretty nonexistent besides Tha Carter 3
i’m not hating…just stating the obvious….
Em dont have that uphill battle that his fellow black peers have…he could prolly give a shit if blacks bought his product…the majority holds him down and actually BUYS the product out of support for their own……
If I’m Wrong Then Y 50 Doing Them Small Ass Venues And Drake Doing 20k-30k Venues
@Mik
Yea I gotcha. I think there are certain things that do surprise me. Even though the concept has been done a lot, I don’t think I really thought about Eminem doing a song like 25 to Life. And I also thought Seduction was pretty dope with the seducing rapper’s girls through the stereo and shit. I thought that was pretty dope. I liked how he took it back to the old days with Almost Famous. And I also think Space Bound can be interpreted different ways. I don’t think it’s about one particular thing. I’m sure Em made that song with a few things in mind. Em definitely goes out of his comfort zone in my opinion. Some people might not like it but that’s cool.
Of course, I think any hip hop fan should like the raw tracks he’s got on the album.
Well Put Like This Go Support Hip Hop And This Is A Great Year With All These Good Albums
With That Said Recovery Is Not A Classic But A Real Good Album
Eminem killed weezy on no love !!!
^^ I Agree
People on here argue numbers like it means the album is dope.
Roots Album was better than both Drake and Em joints in my opinion. But roots did like 50K.
You cant judge great music by sales. Some shit sell some dont. That’s it.
But 750k is great numbers for ANY artist right now ANY gerne its a Plus EM do hip hop.
WHITE AMERICA THIS IS FOR U, EMINEM SOLD THE HIGHEST RECORD LAST YEAR AND HE IS STILL NOT ON THE FORBES LIST. HA
HOV THE G.O.A.T.
HOV 64 MILLION(HIS WIFE 87 MILLION)
DIDDY 30 MILLION WITH NO ALBUM SALES
LIL WAYNE 20 MILLION WITH FLOPPED REBIRTH
Yea, hip hop fans should be happy Em did this number. It’s good for hip hop. It definitely helps Drake released his album a week before and did good numbers for a debut. Good year for hip hop people. Sales and quality of albums.
@az5lyrics
Em isn’t into that business man shit like the people on that list. Em primarily sticks to music.
This is big…
Recovery, a HIP HOP ALBUM ( Hip Hop GENRE ), largely hyped by ONE single beat last years top selling first week album by 50,000 sales atleast. Hip-Hop doesn’t mean whether your white or black, hip hop means hip hop. If it was pop, it would’ve said pop. If you can find me somewhere that officially states that Recovery is a pop album, i’ll look at things differently.
Thanks to Eminem, its re-established that you dont have to be a pop star or collabing with justin bieber to be relevant anymore. Hate, go ahead, but Eminem’s still counting his money. How he’s not on forbes list? I dont know..
Man, you guys gotta really calm down on Drake yo. I mean Em is fuckin amazing and these numbers were kinda expected, but cmon Drake released his first album and exceeded expectations so stop bustin your nuts hatin on him cause he sold less which is obviously expected as well… seriously. Sidenote: Em= greatest white rapper, recovery= highest selling album of the year. nuff said
Good shit, Shady.
@Roy lol that dude pretending eminem tells CNN and MTV how much he made last month ,the only money for sure we can guarentee that eminem is making is off of itunes downloads, album sells, and touring
These days, being white doesn’t mean much when it comes to sales. A LOT of white artists today didn’t even do what Drake or Sade did. Let alone Em. NOBODY is selling these days. EXCEPT for hip hop artists. That’s what I’m talking about. Without hip hop, music industry seriously would be in shambles.
I’m tired of people saying he sold this or that because of race… Find a poll or something to back up your claims and then fucking talk. The only numbers we see are sales and they are good. Fuck who bought them they are good for the GAME! Stop hatting support your favorite artists when you can and live your life. Stop hatting especially when you have no basis to support your claims.
but eh eminem even said himself record salesa dont mean nothin at all to him if his fans aint happy with it
@ROY, LAST YEAR EMINEM YOUR WHITE SAVIOR WAS ON FORBES LIST SO CHECK UR HISTORY FIRST WHITE AMERICA BEFORE U SAY ANYTHING WHITE AMERICA
HOV THE G.O.A.T
Everbody STFU!!! With the pop shit….theirs a difference with pop singles the pop albums, Jay-Z has pop singles and Wayne SMH…..u need pop singles for more friendly radio air play and promotion, and when you buy the album it’s straight hip hop, a pop album would be like gaga, bieber, Britney or drake……jk
Favourite recovery tracks people that assisted these huge numbers! Mine are on fire cold wind blows, talkin to myself, ah fuck it, bar w.t.p I don’t skip a song!!
gud shit em,wished it was more, sucks that a million of ppl are jamming to it and like u but won’t buy your album tho.
You niggor’z are crazi saying em selling cuz he white !!!
Isn’t paul wall, bubba, vanilla ice white rappers ?
What bout asher roth why didn’t he sell 750 k first week…..
Oh and if its because his white then why don’t white people also buy other white male solo artists of other genre’s like JT , david guetta… Etc…. Why don’t they do the same numbers as em
Jus admit it eminem is one of the greatest musicians of our generation !!!!
You sell because of quality not colour !
The record label brought all them albums……
Mr Mathers is The king of music world no one fuck with Mr EM no radio no bullshit
Only shady rules
Are u guys serious with these arguments lol…..listen I fucks with eminem and drake….also fuck with weezy too….I bought eminem album which u thought it was up there with his better albums slim only dropped one album I didn’t like out of his 7 and that was encore I ducks with relapse sometimes and I bought drake album also I didn’t really like it much though cus his shit is more for females but if he keeps puttij shit out like 9 am and light up,goin in ill fucks wit him I like mixtape so its all good……but anyway im yappin good to see eminem raise the bar with his sales
Bigg ups 2 Em!!!
Major win 4 HIP-HOP!!!
Glad Em is on our side lmao!!
eminem is the king of rap,only shady sells so fucking many cds around the world,kanye west,lil wayne sells only cds in the usa,europe loves eminem
In this enviroment, 750,000 is 1.3 mill old money.
@az5lyrics
I’m black.
white america admit it, eminem is your savior cos every white person buys 20 copies of recovery and thats fucked up big time. lol
hov the goat
i want to see his number Outside the US i know he sold like a milli plus
@roy stop hidding behind ur computer with those silly lies cos ur white america and u bought 20 copies of recovery. gtfoh with that shit. hov the g.o.a.t
@az5lyrics
I’m glad that you love Jay-Z he deserves your support. But other artists don’t deserve your hate. Man just enjoy you favorite music and let others like theirs. Why so passionate on hatting on others?
And record sells dnt mean you good because only white people buy albums
@az5lyrics
I’m black. I support hip hop. Em is hip hop. I also bought The Roots album too. I don’t have enough money to buy more than one copy of each.
Say what you want, but there are black people in the world that support Em. I’m one of them. If Em sells because he’s white, why don’t all the other white artists sell? Drake and Sade sold a good amount. You don’t see many other white artists this year reaching those numbers. Em sold because people like his music, not because he’s white. That might have been true at first when he came out, but these days, nah.
Woooooooooooooh!!!
where the haters at!?
where the haters at!?
get this ass money garbage outta my muthafuckin Face!
Shady rules the world!
Lyrics were amazing, beats were meh, and songs were REAL like always…
Shady >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> your favorite rapper and HIS favorite rapper
Suck on that haters.Em is the shit
real aubrey stan is a real dumb motherfucka. drake gets a pass cuz he’s with wayne? get the fuck outta here. wayne is a studio ass gangsta, been in the music industry since he was a kid. drake has been in the industry period since he was a teen. he’s half white canadian jewish. get the fuck outta here once more.
and these racial comments are ignorant as fuck. racism is a problem cause people like you hating ass niggas refuse to let it go, trying to squeeze it into everything. c’mon son. em bein a white boy was what gave him his initial appeal, but that aint the reason he’s bigger than your favorite rapper right now. like some other brah said anyone should be able to relate to not afraid or some of the shit on recovery, get your asses out of the imagined trap house and go read a book, live life you dumb fucks.
lol Not Afraid was barley on the radio … eminem RUNS hip hop … but Hip Hop is back @ # 1 on the charts so do workkkkkkk
I will take bets on anyone who think tha carter 4 will sell more than recovery, seriously i bet you $1,000 that the carter 4 won’t evenmove more then 400,000 units it’s first week.
@yerrr Eminem runs POP
@So Icy Boi
POP as in Popular. Yes, Em has been like that since 1999 just in case you didn’t know. In that case, Wayne is pop, Drake is pop, Jay is pop, etc.
@mac DIESEL…You just keeping saying the same thing.
@Roy ..Eminem dnt get played on the Hip-Hop stations where im from he only get played on the pop stations …..And Drake , Lil Wayne, And Jay-Z have hip-hop songz Eminem dnt ….His songs wit Rihanna , Pink, Not Afraid thats all POP Eminem is like Flo-Rida he labeled az a rapper but make pop songz
EMINEM IS INTERNATIONAL ARTIST ALL WORLD KNOWN WHO SLIM SHADY
N°1 EUROPE+AUSTRALIA+CANADA+USA
N° 2 JAPAN +SPAIN
Next person that will move close to this is Kanye
@So Icy Boi
Jay has songs with Rihanna. Drake wants to make a song with Rihanna. Shit, Lil Wayne did a song with Destiny’s Child. Eminem’s music is not bubblegum pop if that’s what you’re trying to say. The song with Pink by the way isn’t even a pop song in my opinion. That shit’s raw. Where I’m from, he’s always getting played on hip hop stations. Em is crazy offensive and most of his songs aren’t meant for radio. When Em makes a song, it’s not written for radio. After he writes it, it’s interscope that chooses which song can be marketable. Do your homework. Understand the music industry before saying shit.
753,000! Fuck!!
hands down. unfuckintouchable.
c4 wont to those numbers. if it does. praise be allah.
@ST I feel like you’re right about a few things. As far as an uphill battle….Em already did that. When he first got into the rap game he had to fight like crazy to be respected. He still has to do it today. He has no choice but to spit fire because he’s white….while gucci and waka get shine just off the fact that they’re black and in a black dominated genre of music. Say what you will but Shady has paid his dues to get where he’s at.
the president is african. can we please cut that white black shit out?
the roots are on everynight with jimmy fallon. so what if its late as fuck its still exposure!
and their shit only got them 49k?
marshall is the exception . not the rule.
haters are lucky he didnt sell a mill like marshall mathers lp, but dead homies and locked up patnas aint here……..liqa on the curb for the GOAT
@ word
go fuck ur self niggggggga who the fuck listen to lil wayne + kanye + drake on europe or asia or africa or south america only gays of america listen to crappers who rap for shoes and cars
Mr Mathers N° 1 in world with 5 years OFF rehab
@Roy tell me one offensive song on Eminem album thats different from other rap music on the radio?
@So Icy Boi
On Recovery? Or any of his albums?
Recovery: Cold Wind Blows
Any Album: Kim
That’s just two. I could name a few more. The whole gun toting shit isn’t really offensive anymore. Em says some fucked up shit though.
just cuz they from the hood dont mean waka and gucci are anywhere near shadys level.
smh at guccis ascap booking
hats off to mr mathers
Congrats, good look for hiphop/rap!
DAMN PEOPLE STILL ARGUING ABOUT EM’S RACE LIKE IT’S 1999…..THERE IS NO OTHER ARTIST WHO CAUSES SUCH A DEBATE AND SUCH HATRED AS MR. MARSHALL MATHERS. WELCOME BACK SHADY!!
To Quote Eminem
” On top of the world when you’re the only
One with the balls and your shorts
To leave them jaws on the floor with no re-morse, remember that when they get to doggin’ you boy homie
So y’all can just get to BLOGGIN’ ABOUT BOLOGNA
I’m not gonna stop the saga
continue, no stoppin’ the force Obi”
But I’m guilty
Let an old head like myself to be the voice of reason. Who cares who sold more Drake or Em just be happy there’s quality Hip-Hop being made. Be happy for Hip-Hop. It shouldn’t be about numbers anyway that’s what made the golden era what it was Hip-Hop could give a fuck about sales and the mainstream etc. I loved when I was a young cat and only those who were down knew what was up. It’s a bittersweet thing now that Hip-Hop has crossed over it’s good buisness but it’s allowed a lot of bullshit to flood the market. I’m a fan of both Drake and Em becouse they are original and have skills. Back in the day that’s what it was all about. Nowadays everyones copying what works for the next man. That shit is so not Hip-Hop! Thank god I came up when I did
Mulato Gato speaking truth.
Damn Em putting in work.
Drake fans where you at? Seems Thank Me Later is a huge after thought to rap now.
I CONTRIBUTED TO THIS WEEK SALES, BUYING TWO OF HIS ALBUMS. HAPPY EVERYONE BOUGHT AND ENJOYED HIS MUSIC. GREAT ALBUM HE SOLD MORE THAN LAST YEARS ‘RELAPSE’ THAT HAS TO SAY SOMETHING……
@Mulato Gato respect
But today’s youth are mainly focus on numbers. there was a time where how much you sold didn’t matter, it was about the skill, multi syllables, punchlines delivery, how someone rapped over a certain beat. that gave you respect. Now today’s generation simply disrespects some1s work because it didn’t sale according to the numbers. This generation have been washed by radio songs, groups people are getting deals over one hit radio club song, no lyrics involve.
j.cole world no blanket.
real lyrics
real problems
Thank You Em for saving this genre once again.
lol eminem gets played on “pop stations” while drake rnb pop songs get played on hip hop stations ??? hahaha get the fuck outta here. drakes whole album was pop. every album needs a pop feel radio song. em has his with riahnna and pink. drake his whole album except the one with jay z
holy fuck!!! Marshall still Mathers!!! MAfuckas!! thats the king of rap right there
@Interscope employee
i agree, seduction is my fav track, he slows it down and still kills the shit proves hs skll wether it been spittin faster then anyone or slowin it down and killin u with pure lyrical talent. Congratz Em!!
thanks Em for single handedly saving the entire music industry. (again!)
Woww Em is the goat
successful best rapper ever’s successful.
@LOL
i co sign Eminem has paid his ues for sure, he fought his way to be famous when no one believed in him then once he hit the industry he fought everyday to stay relevant and say wut he wants t say. He definitly deserves his success cuz he has earned every penny. and love the quote from your never over!
I’m gonna put it out there right now. I think that ‘Going through changes” is one of the best songs he’s ever made
Both black and white people buy his shit.
Hip hop is not based on color, if you can spit and are talented you will succeed. Beastie Boys were successful, for an example of a white rapper that wasn’t talented, Vanilla Ice. Shit is horrible.
Eminem lasted this long because he matters, and still brings fire to any track he touches, and he is actually talented.
As for Drake, everyone knew he wouldn’t get big numbers, because he was over hyped. He didn’t flop, he did his thing, but still dude was over hyped.
People should look at it as it’s good for hip hop, the world was suffering from cats like T-Pain, then Em got on his A-game once again and lit a fire up under hip hop’s ass. Got it jumpin’ again.
@James
I agree.
Why people always bringin up the carter three…ya it did a mill its first week did people foget em did that twice…did people forget the carter three is tripple platnim and the mmlp is diamond…even the sslp sold more than the carter 3….
@AndrewB
this is why wayne flopped
1.wayne was supposed to be the hottest rapper out there and everybody was watching him cuz rebirth was his first effort carter 3-the album that sold a millie
2.rebirth sold 176,000 in his prime..when 50 did 160,000..50 was way past his prime
3.yes rebirth leaked..so does every other album
4.rebirth was a concept album with a rock influence..eminem,way past his prime released relapse which was a concept album (horror core)about serial killers and murder and still had a no.1 single, 2 no.1 singles on itunes sold 600k and the only single that topped itunes off rebirth was drop the world featuring..u guessed it EMINEM
5.relapse refill with only 5 new song.(even the 5 new songs were leaked 2 weeks earlier) sold 127k first week with no promotion,video whatsoever when rebirth with many singles,promotion,videos sold 176k
now thats a flop
@RICH1 Em raps about real shit and real problems too. They are just not the problems that black people face. Do people understand that Em is still white? Yeah he raps about drugs, dysfunctional families, hating his mother, raising little girls while still being a superstar. You can’t say these problems aren’t any less real. Just because he doesn’t rap about growing up in the slum and drug dealing on the block doesn’t mean it isn’t real life. In fact he’s a more relatable rapper with what he raps about because the majority is going through it. Not everyone is selling drugs and riding dirty….sorry. I think sometimes black people miss that point completely. Stop expecting this man to rap like Black Thought and Talib. He doesn’t come from that shit!
after carter 3*
@WORD!!! You could possibly be the biggest asshole ever on this site!Em stays winning you fucking moron!!!He beat out the most hyped up motherfucker ever in 1 week!!Say what you want asshole but,EMINEM=G.O.A.T!!!!WORD!!! =FAT DICK!!!!
co-sign James
LOL @ the haters
*Plays Violin for the haters*
Quit cryin
Gay-ass Drake and Gaylord Wayne fans keep ridin’ dicks on Em’s news WAHAHA!
REAL HIP-HOP IS BACK!!!! THANKS TO EMINEM, HI HATERS!!!
”Now put that in your little pipe and wipe down,
Think for a minute cuz the hype has died down,
That I won`t go walkin in the Oval Office right now,
And flip whatever ain`t tied down upside-down,”-SLIM SHADY
@ EVERYBODY
T.I. AND EMINEM BOTH HAD PLAYBACK AT THE BET AWARDS
DRAKE USED PLAYBACK ON THE FOREVER HOOK AT THE GRAMMYS
KANYE WEST FUCKED UP HIS SONG WITH PLAYBACK ON SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE
I’D RATHER LISTEN TO EMINEM’S PLAYBACK WITH THE NOT AFRAID CHORUS THAN LISTEN TO KANYE TRY TO USE AUTOTUNE ON A SONG
BTW USHER CANNOT SING LIVE
WILL I AM HAS A TERRIBLE VOICE
JAY-Z IS A GREAT PERFORMER, BUT WHINES LIKE A BITCH
DIDDY USES PLAYBACK CUZ HE DANCES EVERY PERFORMANCE
TAYLOR SWIFT FUCKED UP AT THE GRAMMYS
BRITNEY SPEARS LIP SYNCS
WHITNEY HOUSTON’S VOICE IS NOW GARBAGE
PRINCE SOUNDS LIKE HE’S GETTIN ASS RAPED WHEN HE’S SIGNING
J-LO USES SUPER PLAYBACK AND STILL DONT KNOW THE WORDS
WHAT DOES THIS PROVE…NOTHING
OH ANY BTW AGAIN, EMINEM AND JAY-Z ACTUALLY RAPPED ON DAVID LETTERMAN
AND EM ALSO DID IT ON JIMMY FALLON – NO LIP SYNCING
FUCK YA’LL HATERS
SHADY = GOAT
@ James
You are so correct. Growing up I listened to Naughty by Nature, Onyx, Cypress Hill, MC Hammer, Biggie, Snoop Dogg, Dre. I started listening to hip hop while I was in the 4th-5th grade, Hot 97 – Doc Dre and Ed Lover. I live in NJ 5 minutes from NYC so rap was big. All these artists were hot back then, but being white, I could not really understand what they were saying, plus I was too young to fully understand. As I got older and entered high school Eminem came along. Loved My Name Is…for about a week. Then hated it. Thought to myself that this guy was a joke. A gimmick, another Vanilla Ice, Marky Mark. Then Dre’s Chronic 2001 came out and I loved that. Em was on 2 songs. I thought to myself that this guy actually has skills. Forgot about Dre was classic. After hearing that I bought Slim Shady LP and I was hooked. Then MMLP came out and I thought it was amazing.
Morale of the story is that Eminem’s raps are different than others. He never sold drugs, had money or much fame growing up. He never rapped to get a Escalade and but rims or Spreewells on it. So why would he rap about that. Eminem grew up facing personal demons and he overcame them. Mainly by rapping about it as he was venting. So of course he is gonna be different than others. Think about this, WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME JAY-Z ACTUALLY TOLD A STORY IN HIS RHYMES? I love Jay-Z, but many of his raps are gibberish right now. He’s clever as fuck, but his rhymes are RADIO READY. Jay-Z makes club hits, Eminem makes songs that become hits. Reasonable doubt was classic. But dude can’t get back to that cuz he don’t live that life no more. If he tried, it would be a joke – MILLIONAIRE HUSTLIN ON THE STREETS FOR DOLO. Sorry not happening. Sure Em has all the money and fame in the world, but he has REAL problems. Drugs, Family life, Best friends death. Those are real problems. Not problems such as having too much money in the bank or which hoe to fuck tonight.
People just don’t get it. Eminem is real. His life is no joke. AND i guarantee you that he would trade ANYTHING in the world for a perfect family life for his daughters. That’s all he truly cares about.
Eminem on top again
753,870 copies plus over 250,000 digital sales, DAMN !…Em basically went platinum in his 1st week.
CAUSE HE’S WHITE?!?!?!? WAYNE DID A MILLI AND HE’S BLACK!!! DO NOT TRY TO PLAY THE RACE CARD U FUCKING HATERS!
AND WAYNE’S FOLLOW UP ALBUM DID 176K. WHAT DOES THAT SAY.
THIS ISN’T 2008 ANYMORE
IN 2008, RECOVERY WOULD BE PLATINUM, U IDIOT, JUST LIKE MMLP AND EMINEM SHOW.
THOSE WERE 3 MILLION COMBINED IN A TOTAL OF 2 WEEKS
19 MILLION WORLDWIDE I THINK FOR 2 ALBUMS OR MORE
AND DID EVERYONE FORGET ABOUT NAPSTER
NAPSTER STARTED IN 99-2000
IF NAPSTER STARTED AFTER THOSE 2 ALBUMS, EMINEM WOULD PROBABLY BE APPROACHING MIKE JACKSON STATUS
HATERS FALL BACK
eminem killing yall niggarz ha ha crackaz run this shit ha ha fuck yall niggerz
Official numbers are in 741k. Congrats Em!
SHADY
AFTERMATH
.
AND IT WILL SELL 500K NEXT WEEK FACT*
ALBUM IS ON BORDER LINE CLASSIC . . . .
WHERES ALL MY STANS AT ???????????????
HAHAHAHA. . . .
CLOSE TO A MILLI IN THIS DAY AND AGE
@MR MATHERS
****LOOKS AND NODS. . . .
WELL DONE SHADY , KEEP THE GOOD MUSIC COMING
750,000 even after a 2 week leak?!?
That’s good #’s yo
I bet he woulda crossed 800,000 without the leak
Go Shady!
Word and MAC Diesel, do you guys have anything better to do with your time?
you dont like eminem then fuck you . im tired of this white and black shit.
He sold more than drakes 1st and 2nd week lol, em is still a beast
YES!!! Way to go, Em! lol And people say that music artists will never achieve platinum status thanks to bootleggers. WRONG!! Good artists… insanely good artists will always have a shot at putting up big numbers. It’s the ones that half ass their shit that should hate bootleggers because if people find out ahead of time that their album is shit, they are screwed.
good job em. recovery is a great album. first day purchase.
for the record I haven’t listened to a lil wayne album since tha block is hot. his music does nothing for me. i highly doubt carter 3 is a classic from first song to the last song.
fuck all you haterz
and to that people saying he lip sync
where you at now
fags
one million.
This shit was str8 fire
very nice
fuck all haters, shady.
ALL HAIL THE GOAT!
Is it just me or has em been on a roll since The Warning? To me, it seems like since then, ems come back officially began…listening to Recovery just seems like Relapse should’ve never been relased almost (and I actually kinda liked relapse)…Recovery is awesome…and those sales are bigger than what I thought they would be…good job em!
750,000 with a two week leak thats crazy!!! if he keeps spittin like this the next album will have a chance to hit plat first week.
[…] to the good homie YN over at Rap Radar, the white boy’s latest album ‘Recovery’ is set to hit 750k in sales during its […]
@ breaking news
Sorry but i have some breakin news for u Its not put that in ur little pipe and wipe down It is Put that in your little pipe and pipe down
@ ken kaniff and @ james
i totally agree wtih both of u. True fans who really listen to what Em puts out and not just the radio shit, they get it they relate to it in sum ways and are both nspired and in awe of a man who conquered so much in his life before he even got famou and since he has endured even more yet is still able to pick himself up and reinvent himself and use it to speak to fans and the world wth a skill that no one before him has ever mastered.
The ironic thing about it is i have heard in interviews from him over the years and even still recently that he does get what the big deal about him is. He doesnt believe in himself as much as we the fans do. thats how we got him through the last four years without proof cuz thats what proof always dd for him just like he said in never over. RIP Proof and Congratz Em
Eminem’s Recovery debuts at Number 1 with sales of 741,000
Eminem’s first single Not Afraid debuts at Number 1
Eminem’s song(not even a offical single) Love The Way You Lie debuts at Number 1
Shaaaaaaady is back and taken over the game! Shady Alllllll dayyyyy!
WOOOOWWWW I’m happy 🙂 He deserves it.
man ok…. Em’s Recovery will (hopefully) be best selling Rap Album of the year… Drake’s was a Rap record with some pop and mainly some rnb touches… It isnt fair to compare them because drake took audiance from girls that listen rnb… and the idiot excuse that white people buy eminems albums… white people bought also drakes… anyway… if u wanna compare debut albums, susan boyle outsold drake (yes and relapse)… but dont compare artists’ sales with diferent kind of audience… you can compare Em’s sales withs Jayz’s… drake’s with bob’s (bob is better IMO). And lets see what these new artist will sell with their 7th album… EM still wins
Why people always bringing up the Carter 3…. Ya it did mill the first week but did people forget em did that twice…the Carter 3 is tripple platnim…did people forget mmlp is diamond yes is 6 times platnim even the sslp sold more than the Carter 3 ….. And let’s not forget that these are just USA numbers
U cant understand what happened unless you are born and “socialed”.
Its like the “Nothing” in the Never Ending Story….
But…
U cant understand what happened unless you are born and “socialzed” here. sorrry
and if u are defenseless for some reason.
It gets u.
But not finally….=)
Cuz im ME=) man, thats not nothing=)

#1 Australia
#1 Austria
#1 France
#1 Ireland
#1 New Zealand
#1 United Kingdom
#1 United States
#2 Germany
#3 Finland
#3 Netherlands
#10 Sweden
Also, it’s broke UK records for:
1) The first USA Act to have as many as 6 UK No.1 Albums in a row.
2) The Male Solo Act with the most UK No.1 albums in a row.
3) The Solo Act with the most in a row – Madonna & Elvis have had 11 UK No.1 Albums each, but she never had more than 3 in a row & he never had more than 2 in a row.
This dude is just one of those ”once in a lifetime” artists/performers – like a Jordan of basketball or a Pele of soccer. the dude is a monster of his craft, fuck you if you don’t respect this man. Mathers still and always will matter.
he is the best. Support Eminem
I have a confession I am GAY, and I wanna get on Eminems dick cuz he spits better than my boyfriend
stillll shadddyy aftermath king is back no ones better then this man right here no need to keep arguing it its a fact eminem is the best emcee rapper hip hop artist walkin this earth shadys tht nigga alllll dayyy
How does the white boy sell so much time and time again?
wayne is nothing compared to eminmem not in the same book as eminem shuldnt mentioned ne wher near him that cock huggin jean wearin lil nig hes a bitch shady said like blue and i dong c wut the big deal is who cares if hes a blood whos cares if hes talkin about goons or goblins hes not better then shady jay z dmx jadakiss styles p t.i nas or kanye… hes ok until the nigga shady came back now he cant say hes the best alive he shuld jus say im the top ten best alive lil bitch ass nigga

@ real talk bc hes no fuckin joke thts y hes the best mayb to evr do it dont u listen to his shit no one cant think like this man hes a hip hop lyrical genius he most likely will put out 3 or 4 more albums space 2 years in between them tht means about 8 years left hell wear the crown sorry wayne nd faggot drake try again then
greatest of all time by far he is the bast
For those who cant realise this:
740k is without internet sales and only united states
So its very close to double platinum in reality
album incredible n i wish he would have gotten a milli but fuck it he dont need a milli for ppl to know hes the king!!!!!!!!!!!
Can anybody please explain to me why the hell they put all the bonus tracks on the digital album downloads and not on the actual disk itself? That is the only reason i bought one of the other, so wouldn’t it make sense to add them to the physical disk in stores in order to increase numbers? I really don’t get it…help!
DAYMN EM save some records for the rest of these bum ass rappers… Even tho I don’t think you are the GOAT, I do have mad respect… GOOD SHIT… DETROIT STAND UP>>> 313, 248, 734, 810, 586 all day!

props to em. legend indeed
Shady dominated them charts son!
Congrats to Em only Em.. not his stans. I can tell all of them are white by the way they talk. If they aint white then fore damn sure they aint black. I can’t wait til Lil Wayne album will do a milli again and all the Em stans get mad and give it bad ratings on Itunes like they do all other competition. You can’t say Im a hater cause I give congrats to Em. Just fuck the gay stans.
for the people talkin bout color, makin his “facial tisssue a racial issue” why the fuck do black people still name larry bird as one of the greatest b ball players???? why not down him as well? i dont c nobody sayin “the only people who have a larry bird throw back jersey are white folks”. if your good at what you do and you get respect for it, then color has nothing to do with it!!!! i hate when niggas do that shit. hell if more dumb ass rappers would follow his lead, like wayne has in bringin in more white fans then yea, they ass can be successful too!! rappers that dont get much attention or win awards for acheivements got people dissin successful rappers. why doesnt gucci sell??? cuz he’s only one demension!!! and you and he should know damn well most hood niggas aint gon buy his albums. so thats guccis fault!!!! he need to expand more if wants attention. eminem has EARNED his fanbase, as well as wayne, when em first came out people were like what the fuck???!!!! now look at him!!! wayne was like in the shadows as well. they expanded to get recognized, so for all the boosie, gucci, webbie, type artist, EXPAND!!! yall be the main mafuckas wit WHITE managers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! theres no excuse, cuz i know them WHITE managers aint bumpin yall shit!!!! so dont get mad when a white rapper is doin well he’s winnin right?????? ok then!
All u bitch ass niggas before me have HIV
FUCK ALL YALL HATAS !!! that m&m recovery shit is hard real hip hop…… fuck that booty ass aids-hiv south music.
@WORD..
YA as if EMINEM sucks on stage……..that is why he got a standing ovation from the whole damn place ! if there was any playback all it may be on the chorus, but alot of Hip-Hop instrumental trax have them and that is what the DJ uses for him to rap/sign on top of, its doesnt mean he was lip sinking ! he was still chatting on top of it! ! there are so many point int he performance that just proves he wasn’t!!!!
not ! ahhhh well the rest of us know …… !
Hats off to the one they call EMINEM !
BIgUP his whole crew !
ONE !
This bs about him being white and selling like a mofo is just gibberish.
It’s because he’s the most talented rapper to ever grab a microphone.
Nuff said.
Elow i want to say this truly 4rm my heart Fact: eminem rocks, 4rm number surpoter of south africa, m proud of u my brother eminem
i really dont know why you people think drake is so great, he sounds the same in every song, he monotone or some shit. he needs to stop singin so much too. thank me later sounds like an rnb album. he has potential i guess tho.
im confused eminem scored top on his album but drake is #1 on billboard rap albums i do not understand that
somebody plz help me

@ajay
They haven’t updated the charts yet. Em will be number one.
carter 4 750+ easily
thats an error , this will be king marshall 6th #1
Carter 4 = 300,000 units!
had this shit not leaked, it would have reached 1 million easy! Although I think in the state of the economy at 750k thats pretty much platinum.
It doesn’t matter what The Carter 4 sales. Wayne will still never come close to Eminems sales over all. So people really should shut the fuck up about comparing Weezy’s sales to Eminem cause there is no comparison. And black people need to get over it and stop being reverse racist. The face of hip hop is a white guy. You go to other countries and say rap they say Eminem.
@ .
Carter 4 = 200,000 units
oh and who names their album the same shit 4 times in a row
3 is enough
how bout’ Lil’ Wayne – I Kissed a Man
thats a better album name cuz HES FUCKING GAY U HOMOS
WAYNE N BABY SITTIN IN A TREE
K-I-SS-I-NIG…
Seriously people stop bringing up the fact that this did 750K and Carter 3 did a milli in a week. Em’s been there and done that TWICE. Eminem show platinum in a week and the Marshall Mathers LP still highest first week sales of all time.
I hope I’m not alone this!
Oh and Carter 4 is on hold, his nezt album is going to be a full collabo with Drake.
Anybody else want to see an Em/50 collab drop on the same day? That will be a sales contest.
Shady!!!, suck a dick faggot ass haters
great album, eminem is fucking back! and he’s easily top 3 if not the greatest solo rapper of all time
G.O.A.T
iLove it when iCan say “iTold You So” EVERYONE that thought Drizzy would do more than Em, well what went wrong?? iMean EM came out undefeated as usual… iHave both their CD’s but iTold you there was no competing with the white boy haha…
flow j where do you get the charts from?
@ lyricist … id rather see a eminem and royce – bad meets evil album than a em and 50 one that would be sick as fuck
can i just say..,,,,,,,,,,,,u ppl are CRAZY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. Good sales. Em’s album didn’t appeal to me maybe because we have two totally different lifestyles. I only liked Love the way you lie and No Love. On the other hand. I really liked drakes album. I love hiphop and R&B. That album is a classic in my opinion.
im wondering why Eminem isnt on forbes list this year..
Everybody knows that Lil Wayne is the face of hiphop. Isn’t Eminem a grandparent already? lol. Jk. He should be focusing on making it to heaven at his age instead of rapping.
@Gawd cause he aint been making any money. lol. broke cracker. Artist don’t make big money off of album sales.
youre a broke loser
ill bet you he has at least 100M$
EMINEM IS NUMBER ONE!
AS A RULE!!
