Rap superstar Eminem's new album, the follow-up to last year's Grammy-winning Relapse, was originally titled Relapse 2 and meant to be released in 2009. It has since been pushed back to June 2010 and re-titled Recovery, and will feature the US #1, Not Afraid.

Theres something about that cover that I really do not like. I think its how Recovery is written

I really like the covers, I think they're better than his last at least.

[crazycool]

I think the covers are amazing!

SOOO looking forward to this album!

EMINEM - Not Afraid: 18.461 (+ 0.735)

[crazycool]

The song with Pink is fantastic, but I'm more excited for the Rihanna collab!

[HeatSeeker]

^ Same here.

"Not Afraid" is still holding a top 10 position on iTunes (#7 last time I checked), while it's airplay is slowly growing (it's 21m atm). Eminem's never really needed a huge hit to sell records, but many people feel his last two albums weren't up to his standards. I would hope that he'd be able to reestablish himself as an unstoppable force in hip hop, like the good old days (1999-2003). However, I doubt that will happen, because it seems like he's accomplished what he needed to in his first several years, and now he's just enjoying the fortune he made and being a parent. Of course, he's still doing well, but if the trend continues his record sales will get progressively less magnificent.

According to TheHottestIshh.Net "Love The Way You Lie" featuring Rihanna will be the second single:


Quote:
Eminem's Second Single Will Feature Rihanna ''Love The Way You Lie'' And It's Produced By Alex Da Kid

I was just thinking a couple hours ago when I was listening to this that it should be a single at some point, so that's good! I like the chorus, it has the potential to do well but we'll see.

iTunes:

Love The Way You Lie: #2
Not Afraid: #10
___________
Recovery: #1

Love The Way You Lie has overtaken Perry at iTunes!

I cannot wait to get my hands on this album!

SCORE ONE FOR EMINEM
Recovery Scores Year’s Largest First Week with 600k+, Miley Cyrus Next

June 23, 2010

The record industry just scored its own golden goal. Can a full Recovery be far behind?
Offering conclusive proof that Marshall still matters, Eminem’s aptly named Recovery will score the year’s highest sales debut. Look for a total of between 590-615k for the Shady/Aftermath/Interscope album, easily beating Sade’s 503k back in February. It could also beat his last album, Relapse, which sold 608k in its first week in May ’09.

That’s based on totals from those music retailers who haven’t painted their faces red, white and blue and shown up in South Africa with vuvuzelas in tow for the World Cup.

In addition, Em’s duet with Rihanna, “Love the Way You Lie,” has currently supplanted Katy Perry’s “California Gurls” as the top iTunes download.

[HeatSeeker]

Yes! I wasn't expecting this to beat his last debut - it's not often an act opens with over 600k two years in a row, especially nowadays! Phenomenal.

[crazycool]

Eminem is unstoppable, and rightfully so.

^ Good cover.

His HDD prediction increased to 640-675k :)

[Sci-Lyco]

Well I managed to get my hands on this album this past Friday. I thought it was good. Without a doubt, Not Afraid and Won't Back Down are my two absolute favorites. Although I kinda like Relapse more cause of all the craziness in it.

[HeatSeeker]

^ I like those two, although I would have to include Love The Way You Lie with Rihanna and Cinderella Man among my faves.

[Wayne]

His HDD increase is no surprise; it was good news in the UK too for him, as he shifted 139,438 copies of Recovery in week 1 :shocked: That is over 100,000 copies more than #2!!

Nice! That's more than Christina did in the US. Do you know how his previous albums started?

[Wayne]

Well some of them I do:

Marshall Mathers LP: 63,000
Curtain Call: 113,000
Encore: 122,459
Eminem Show: 228,000
Relapse: 166,952
Recovery: 139,438

ALL were #1 albums. He's had an incredible history of #1 albums - in fact, I think he's the solo artist with most #1 albums over the last decade

Eminem's 'Recovery' Explodes At No. 1 on Billboard 200 With 741,000

Eminem's "Recovery" will blast in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart this week with 741,000 sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. That's the largest sales week for a single album since October 2008, when AC/DC's "Black Ice" debuted with 784,000 in its first week.

"Recovery" is the hip-hop king's sixth straight No. 1 debut -- and sixth overall chart-topper on the Billboard 200. His only set to miss the top spot was his "Slim Shady LP" debut, which bowed and peaked at No. 2 in 1999. Among hip-hop acts with the most No. 1 albums, only Jay-Z has earned more, with 11.

The debut sales week of "Recovery" surpasses the first week of Eminem's last set, "Relapse," which began at No. 1 in 2009 with 608,000. It also beats the opening of 2005's "Curtain Call: The Hits" which entered at No. 1 with 441,000 in 2005.

Eminem's new album also wows digitally, as downloads made up 255,000 of its first week. That's the second-biggest digital week for an album in history. Only Coldplay's "Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends" notched a larger frame, when it debuted with 288,000 downloads in the summer of 2008.

Eminem also naturally makes big news on the Digital Songs chart with his "Recovery" collaboration with Rihanna, titled "Love the Way You Lie." It debuts at No. 1 with 338,000 downloads sold. It's the sixth time the rapper has topped the Digital Songs chart and the second time he's done it this year, following "Not Afraid's" entry atop the list back in May with 379,000.

[crazycool]

Amazing sales, and deserved IMO!
Next up... Britney selling the same, please!

[Wayne]

This is probably going to prevent Kylie from topping some major markets when she releases her new album! I hate that. Set to have a second week at number one in most markets

Eminem Storms To The Top Of European

EMINEM is an all-conquering world power once again - his new album (http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/story/eminem-storms-to-the-top-of-european-chart_1150589#) has shot to the top of the European charts days after debuting at the top of the U.S. and British countdowns.

Recovery also claimed number ones in Ireland, Switzerland, Austria and Denmark and number two debuts in Germany, France and Norway to beat Miley Cyrus' Can't Be Tamed to the top of the continent's overall chart.

The Black Eyed Peas' The E.N.D. (The Energy (http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/story/eminem-storms-to-the-top-of-european-chart_1150589#) Never Dies) returns to the top 10 at three, Oasis' hits album Time Flies - 1994-2009 drops a spot to four, and Lady Gaga's The Fame rounds out the new top five.

http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/story/eminem-storms-to-the-top-of-european-chart_1150589

Breathtaking success. He'll have the next US #1 too with Rihanna. As well as another week at #1 in most markets. Insane!

Wow! Go him! And question.. for anyone who's listened to the Eminem/Pink collab 'Won't Back Down'. Does it for any of you at one point. Lower in volume? Or is it just the copy I have that does it?

[HeatSeeker]

^ Yes, he does that on purpose because he's telling the person he's rapping about not to turn him down lol. I thought that was quite cool!

[Sci-Lyco]

Oh lol. Okay. Was worried it was something that somehow got messed up on my copy.

[Wayne]

I love Rihanna's parts in Love The Way You Lie <3 I even like Em's parts!

[HeatSeeker]

His collabo with P!nk should be third single! It would be the 4th top 25 hit from Recovery.

I'm annoyed that the video for LTWYL is still not out!

Rihanna on "Love The Way You Lie"


“It’s something that, you know, we’ve both experienced, you know, on different sides, different ends of the table,” Rihanna told Access of her reasons for taking part in the song.

“He pretty much just broke down the cycle of domestic violence and it’s something that people don’t have a lot of insight on,” Rihanna said of Eminem’s track.

What do you guys think of the official cover? Its not been posted in this topic before I don't think! :D

Set to open the VMA's this week. What's he performing btw?


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhH0bLkP1GA

Love his promo!

[HeatSeeker]

^ My guess is he'll do Not Afraid or a medley of Not Afraid/LTWYL with a guest performance by Riri :D

[Wayne]

I'd love to see him perform No Love but Lil Wayne obviously couldn't be there, for personal reasons lol.

[HeatSeeker]

^ Ew no, NA/LTWYL medley would shit all over that!

[Wayne]

As of this week, Eminem officially has the #1 selling single of the year in the UK (his duet with Rihanna), and Recovery is the 5th best selling album of the year. Massive!!!

[Sergeant Pepper]

Whoo! Oh how he amazes me? How much has he even earned from this album?

[Wayne]

As a non song-writer, Susan Boyle is set to earn £20m from her upcoming album. She earned £4m from her debut. This wasn't and wont all come from album sales though, but from the era as a whole.

I anticipate that Em will earn about £10-£15m from the sale of his albums alone. And about £2m from his digital tracks, if he's lucky. Back in the nineties, an act would earn an amazing amount from album sales

Chrysler Canada Gets bang from Super Bowl Ad

“It has certainly resonated with a lot of people,” said Chrysler Canada president Reid Bigland. “We normally get an average of about 35,000 to 40,000 hits on any given day. It was nearly 100,000 on Monday and still up 40 per cent from normal on Tuesday.”

Neilson Co., which measures television viewership, said the Chrysler ad placed fourth as the most watched car commercial in the game that attracted 117 million people worldwide. YouTube reported more than 4.5 million viewings of the Chrysler ad alone in the first day after the game.
