    I really don't understand the thought process behind marketing this as a deluxe album. Whether it's all songs recorded after MTBMB or not doesn't matter. Eminem sequenced it and packaged it musically like an album. The average listener who sees the album called MTBMB Deluxe isn't going to check it out if they're not a big Eminem fan. When I see an artist puts out a deluxe album of something I already listened to, I rarely check it out unless I'm a huge fan of the artist.

    Stop it morons

    when you grow up you learn when u do something u think of ur audience not the “experts”

    casual listeners dont know if the deluxe is new album or not which is why deluxe sales always low regardless of how many new content is on it

    they made a mistake calling it deluxe and u morons trying to debate this is as moronic

    Horrible decision to market it as a deluxe. Should’ve just named it Music to Be Buried By and called it a day.

    I mean in general it’s still impressive considering it’s marketed as a deluxe edition & his marketing was a social media post lol. Not to mention this doesn’t include physical CD sales at all, which is a big part of what his older fan base likes.

    But yeah for Em, this is awful. But the album is incredible so I couldn’t not give a f---. Just a shame more people aren’t hearing this tbh.

    Not marketed as a proper album so not surprising really. Still quite poor though

    Also im pretty sure Em wont sell as much as he used to. But saying slapping it with “deluxe” wouldnt halve his sales is objectively wrong

    Eminem selling under 100k with brand new music is unheard of.

    But it was really only the stans excited for this. Paul is horrible at marketing because he plays a game of clue with the stans and expects them to put in the work.

    Yes. Its actually not debatable even. All deluxe albums regardless if its totally new or not sells horribly

    the reason is also known. Most casual fans dont know if its new or not. And some wont buy it for the extra 6 dollars or whatever. Deluxe ALWAYS sell horribly which is why its super rare for a deluxe to be totally new content

    Em's album sales have been regressing because he doesn't promote them anymore. No radio interviews, tv interviews, or networking with other media outlets. It's a shame bc this is some of his best work and only marketed as a deluxe

    Around 100K.

    Charts are delayed because of Christmas I guess. But I suspect he’s ok the 3rd or 2nd spot.

    He’s still No. 1 on iTunes US for now.

    Selling 80k in one week 11 months after release is pretty good. Since it’s counted towards og album. f--s dont get this

    lol what the f--- him dying has to do with anything? they recorded this for the album while he was still alive it's like not he used some Juice left overs. Is not Em's fault he died and this song is big because of Juice WRLD? my man barely has 4 lines in there, sorry but I had to laugh out loud at that.

    This is not a "new" project and it counts towards MTBMB so why should you even care about first week ?

    Did not know things where so black and white! Now show me were I can buy Side B separate where it doesn’t include Side A as well, since it is a stand alone album like you’re saying.

    Crazy how in the title of the album is says DELUXE right and it’s on streaming services as a part of MTBMB. But nah it is a separate album of course because you want it to be.
