Dec 19, 2020 They mean MTBMB streams from this week, most of those 500 million streams were already factored into past weekly sales of MTBMB.
Dec 19, 2020 Yeah... need to put out a single and then just leave people wondering when the actual album will drop.
Dec 19, 2020 yeah calling it a deluxe killed the interest. If it was promoted as a seperate album it would have sold more.
Dec 19, 2020 Yeah, let people outside of IG know you're making a comeback. And hopefully, without the single being depressive like Walk On Water or Darkness.
Dec 19, 2020 I think he will debut at number 1 with around 100k. It's a bit soon to know the final sales. Who knows? Maybe he will even promote it next week. Doubt it though.
Dec 19, 2020 Nah. MTBMB had 50M streams first day. This one has 30M. This ain't no Kamikaze, sadly. The numbers got bigger by day with that bad boi.
Dec 19, 2020 Yeah, but with a small period between the single and the album, not a month or two, and releasing the video. 1 or 2 weeks would be enough.
Dec 19, 2020 Yeah. If this flops, it means people are streaming it, but not buying it (digitally or physiclally).
Dec 19, 2020 This, plus we’re all desensitized from “re-release” scams. I listen to most Nicki Minaj releases and generally like her music but if she repackaged a new album as “Queen (Deluxe)” I wouldn’t touch it. A lot of people probably did the same. MTBMB II ( M2BMB ) literally would’ve sufficed Anyways, Eminem’s attached his named to projects that have sold less. Side A shouldn’t have done the numbers it did for an act 22 years in the game.
Dec 19, 2020 I honestly love him doing lower numbers, he clearly doesn’t care about sales with zero promotion. But the best thing about it is he isn’t forced to try to make big pop singles, the album is awesome and pure hip hop. Em making music solely for the competition and love of it produce amazing results
Dec 19, 2020 I guess these are only SIDE B sales, but the albums counts as a whole, so these will be combined with SIDE A sales and will be "higher"
Dec 19, 2020 Worst promo ever and no controversial or radio hit first single. Happy with album. But I hope he does a typical album roll out again.
Dec 20, 2020 Ohh i see... It makes sense. It's unbelievable how less he gives a f--- about this s---, like the guy could have easily get the 11th consecutive s--- but does nothing. This album is full of new gems. After listenin' to the whole album, I can say the single choice was not the best. But Godzilla was one of my least favs on the previous album so what do I know lol. Eminem's top songs on Spotify are usually the ones I like the less...
Dec 20, 2020 Does he really does not care about sales tough? I hope so, I also hope it does not lead him to believe the fans dont think it is good. However, it would be a shame if his streak of consecutive number 1 albums would stop.
Dec 20, 2020 I mean, even if it doesn’t sell good. It’s a Deluxe version for fans of an album that already sold quite well. It’s not a separate album.
