I forgot to say in Germnay you can reach album nr. 1 with just 30 - 40k

 

Dec 17, 2017

yeah but don't forget that
1) Eminem made his comeback in 2009 with Relapse and Recovery happened next year which lead into bigger anticipation
2) Eminem's 4 year hiatus did NOT help this album at all
3) Compare Recovery's promotion with Revival's, you'll see how much shady and interscope f----- it up. It was the most anticipated project and until they ruin it by themselves. Eminem on Recovery was EVERYWHERE. Magazine Covers, a lot of photoshoots, He performed at VMAs, Grammys, he released 2 Strong single which created even more hype to his album. This year Eminem started being kinda active the last month lmao and 1 thing's for sure he will disappear again now

Yeah, because your friends represent Germany as a whole country. Get a grip dude. I also live in Germany and a friend did talk with me about the album yesterday. There might be interest in the album or not. Let's wait for the albums chart placing, shall we? That might show us some insight on how much interest there actually is for Em/Revival.

 

Dec 17, 2017

Yeah cool. Dude dropped to under 20k the next week. No indicator for anything.

@Knox river has re-gained momunteum and its crushing itunes atm

i hope it helps the sales, jokes aside i hope revival is a success, i love the album

 

Dec 17, 2017

I did my part to help sales - bought 3 physical copies. One to play, one for the collection and one as a gift.

 

Dec 17, 2017

So will Eminem, drop off will be crazy due to people telling each other it sucks.

 

Dec 17, 2017

The only songs i don't like are Tragic Endings and Need me.I like the album but i was kinda hoping we would get a more pure hip hop album with max 2 pop songs.An album full of Believe,chloraseptic,Untouchable,framed would of been so dope.

I blame Dre for the Rubin records. He told him "where the fun?" And he immediately threw away 3 record, lol. Swap that out for the weak ones and it's a solid 8 album.

They must have done this on purpose they aren’t stupid they knew what songs would do bits and what songs wouldn’t that be something going on behind the scenes here

These might be the worst Year-to-Date sales I've ever seen in my life. Huge difference from 2016 and 2015. I think it's safe to say that the music industry is taking an even deeper plunge than we all initially thought.. (How the h--- are Drake, Katy Perry, and Bruno Mars not platinum yet? Even Kendrick..)

This, paired with Eminem's divisive album and 4 year hiatus, definitely played a part in the ~300k album sales. Looking at this chart, I'm beginning to think that 300k is actually impressive for Eminem given the current state of the industry.

Have movie soundtracks always been such strong performers??

Also, how on Earth did P!nk outsell Em? This confuses me to no end.

 

Dec 17, 2017

I never wanted to admit it or say it, but I'm beginning to think/believe Em fell of, at least commercially

 

Dec 17, 2017

You do realize that list doesn't include Em's sales yet right, that's why his name is not on it.

 

Dec 17, 2017

I'm aware. But Pink debuted at 408k, whereas Em is projected to hit 300k max. Even if the projections are off, I doubt they are 100k off.

 

Dec 17, 2017

considering today's rap fanbase, its a great compliment he is selling less lol

 

Dec 17, 2017

Em will still k--- it worldwide... these are only U.S. numbers ... He also made BANK in the Apple Music Deal... I don’t think this will stop him from making more music

 

Dec 17, 2017

Pink had tour bundles (almost 200k)

 

Dec 17, 2017

Ah, I had no idea. Thanks for the context!
That definitely explains it, since even tho Em isn't super relevant to mainstream audiences right now, Pink is even less so imo.

now that river is gaining power again, he needs to release a video for it asap

honestly, like..within one week..but i know he wont
