    Well 1989 has about 15 quality songs... ShadyXV has maybe 4-5 (to me)

    Marketing was very poorly for this album.. If they would just do something more with that the album will sell a bit better.

    At this point, I really doubt Eminem cares about sales, I really care that anyone of them do. The Album is great to me with a couple of misses/songs that I didn't personally like that others do.

    Taylor's wasn't a greatest hits, all new material, but 1.3 mil in 2014 (or any year, really) is incredible

    Not the main focus of this topic but one question is are the sales count as 2 as it's a double disc? And let's not forget there is a whole CD of new material. So we need to stop this "it's ok because it's a mixtape or greatest hits" mentality. People are buying this CD for the new material. We've all downloaded it, what are you listening to? The new stuff or the old stuff?
    If sales are counted as 2 then it's even worse as each CD only sold 69000.

    If it was an eminem album it'd have gone gold already but it's just Shady Records so Ithink 138,000 sales could be considered high..

    icecube i know you're trolling but there's only like half a dozen real tracks if by your logic that's all people buy it for why don't you multiply the 170k by how many times more music there is on a solo album

    considered picking this up. but the walmart out here had it at about 18$ which isnt horrible for a double disc but the fact is disc two, i own all the cds the songs are actually on with the exception of lose yourself demo obviously and with disc one being only twelve new songs that i didnt listen all that much too besides twisted and fine line, didnt seem worth it.

    i forgot about that... double albums count twice in the sales charts, so really half that is the real number. :'(
