Dec 19, 2020 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.
Dec 19, 2020 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.
Dec 19, 2020 This includes streams from the orginal album as well though so streaming must be really low
Dec 19, 2020 we are in a pandemic every album is promoted solely by social media now lol Im shocked at those sales. Very low
Dec 19, 2020 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
Dec 19, 2020 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.
Dec 19, 2020 Bad marketing. I think the title is a turn-off for one, on top of the mixed messaging of are these just bonus tracks or a new album for the average person. They also blew their whole wad posting the album at the same time as the music video. Drop the album Friday and the music video Monday. It spreads the news cycle out.
Dec 19, 2020 Even without promo this will be considered a flop sales wise! I was thinking around 130ish maybe reaching to 150 due to Em being a big name and all, so 70 thousand is a bit of a shock lol. Doesn’t really matter too much tho tbf... being 20+ years in the game and still charting in the top 5 is an achievement imo.
Dec 19, 2020 Horrible decision to market it as a deluxe. Should’ve just named it Music to Be Buried By and called it a day.
Dec 19, 2020 And the physicals ain't even out. They releasing them next month. I ordered it from Amazon UK and it ships at the end of January.
Dec 19, 2020 Not really. Don't blame the pandemic for this. I still see new music videos, new interviews, Busta even had a concert online to promote his album. Em drops the album, lets it sell low, and months later shoots another video.
Dec 19, 2020 It says MTBMB deluxe on the front cover. Should have called it something else like Uzi did.
Dec 19, 2020 I mean I dont care however he promotes or calls it, doesnt change the music. But.... music to be burried by, calling it a sequel instead of deluxe would have helped I think. I'm not surprised there are people that think its just a deluxe w just a few new songs
Dec 19, 2020 ^This. Horrible decision to market this incredible work as a deluxe. It's a shame. Only die hard fans would really check it out. Makes me wonder if the rumors are true of him working on an album for 2021 with even more heat.....
