Apr 29, 2024 You need a hot single to get people interested in an album and for it to sell dumbass. MTV has been dead as long as Eminem’s career. Only people like Drake, Swift, Adel can pull off surprise releases and still sell well. Eminem hasn’t been at that level since 06.
Apr 29, 2024 It’s not a surprise album dumbfuck. It’s already been announced. Doesn’t mean you need to release songs from it before the album is released. He’s Eminem, not Jack Harlow
Apr 29, 2024 Casual listeners don't care to check out music if it's not with pretty pictures. Music Videos are very important.
Apr 29, 2024 This was supposed to be my catchy little jingle, that ya hear on ya radddyyyddiio. He shoulda actually released it as.
Apr 29, 2024 No you don't @ hot single. What is this 1999? People buy albums, especially albums, from artists they love and respect and expect a great album from. If you need a better example of singles not selling albums, look no further than B.o.B, who despite having two NO.1 WORLDWIDE SMASHES on his debut... sold 89k.
Apr 29, 2024 Maybe tomorrow he will release Encore (Marshall’s Version), King Mathers, Relapse 2, Revival (No Donald Trump Version), and Kamikaze (the version that went TOO FAR!!!) all in the same night…
Apr 29, 2024 Encore (Original Edition)(original track listing with leaked songs) King Mathers LP (Original 2007 Edition)(including leaked songs) Relapse 2 (Original 2009 Edition)(including leaked songs) Revival (Deluxe Edition)(CD #2 - rap features) Kamikaze (Different Edition)(Different Album Cover - 9/11 photo, different enemies - Diddy, Trump, etc, different huge budget music videos)
Apr 29, 2024 Albums are flopping left and right my G, yet hits still happening as expected. People love the single but they don’t stream the rest unless it’s Taylor, Beyoncé,…
Apr 29, 2024 without MTV I wouldn't have started listening to Eminem. good music videos have billions of views these days, so the right song + big budget video matters even more these days than it did in the MTV era. the problem with Eminem is that in the last few years he has mostly been choosing the wrong songs for singles, or making bad music videos for the right songs.
Apr 29, 2024 Yeah because people don't buy albums due to singles. I think what popularised that idea was boy and girl groups. I think with them, they do, like... fawning teen girls might have bought Nsync albums due to the singles... but most artists, I don't think that works at all. It's because people are interested in the artist and the album. j Cole doesn't have that many big singles yet sells consistently more than rappers who are singles machines.
Apr 29, 2024 I listened to Metro's last 3 albums only because I liked the singles from his last three albums. I don't have that much time to listen to all the artists' albums all day, so I mostly listen to just a few albums a year and the rest of the time I listen to singles or favorite old classic songs. I don't listen to the album of every artist whose songs are on my playlist and this also works for casual listeners of Eminem and the fewer pop songs an Eminem album has, the less sales that album has. Revival's problem is that this album had many potential pop hits, but his team promoted this album as an underground hip-hop release. they received a lot of hate from hardcore hip-hop listeners and literally no casual pop listeners heard the songs from this album because the songs were not promoted as singles or had music videos. the only pop song that had a promo was River and it's his Top 3 Streaming Song since 2014, but the music video is too long so no one watches it on YouTube.
Apr 29, 2024 just imagine if Recovery album was promoted as a hardcore hip-hop album and had singles like On Fire, Session One and Ridaz instead of LTWYL, No Love and Not Afraid. Revival should have had other singles (except River).
