Wait, why is is "well done Dre" at all? He produced one song.

well... hes the executive producer of the album
-
i hope he could take this album's buzz and pump up the next slaughterhouse release and hopefully they could really come through with bomb topics and concepts on the next go round yell
-
I ain't buyin this shit because last time i bought relapse, he released the refills later.
-
Congrats even though I ain't copping.
-
Im gonna go cop it today, "Going Through Changes" is my shit
-
I hate how this bitch is always posing like he's pissed off at the world. Wtf? We get it, his mother didn't hug him enough, his girlfriend was a headache, he doesn't feel like he gets enough respect cuz he's white (lmao @ his reverse racism), and he started doing drugs. His life was never that fuckin tough.
-
Lol @ gangstaboogy ay but hes overrated like...

Thank U!!! only reason his first 3 albums did good was because he was talking about the hypocrites of society.
Also Technically reverse racism = Acceptance. It's still Racism, but his ass pretty much talked it best on his earlier WOrk. Underground harder 4 him becuase he was white, but the record deal it's easier 4 him 2 sell. :/
-
so half of what was expected?
They were only half the weeks numbers, so I'm guessing it'll finish on 600k?
UPDATE: Hits' Daily Double has updated projections, now believing that Recovery will sell more like 750,000 first week units. This would make the Detroit superstar's release the highest-selling debut Rap album since Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III, released just over two years ago.
Final numbers should come in soon shouldn't they
-
I read somwhere final is 750k?
-
He sold 140k first week in the uk, that's big numbers for first week over here
-

wait..I heard 2pac's All Eyez On Me went plat in like 4 hours (setting a record or something).
-
yeah, but that's a double disc so each album is counted twice

I remember reading it somewhere. if I can find the article I'll post it (might of been some sorta scan of a mag).
-
Can't believe he did so well and even more than Relapse which was his comeback record
-
some really good numbers, gotta be happy with that 8)
-
Can't believe he did so well and even more than Relapse which was his comeback record
My exact thought too.
-
Can't believe he did so well and even more than Relapse which was his comeback record
What do you expect? He used mainstream acts for features, didn't go with his general krazy subject matter and made "Emotional songs". It was bred for the mainstream. Weakass piece of shit.
-
lol..how many he sell in the hood mom n pop stores...
-
the album is dope IMO....congrats to Em
-
Better than that super weak drake bullshit .
-
Thats crazy numbers. Not suprised but pleased he sold more on this than he did on relapse. This a better album with a stronger start first single, albeit not a classic single or anything. Eminem was going to sell regardless of quality but nice to see he sold more than what he did on relapse....still... More money for jimmy...
-
thats wat crazy promotion gets u
dope album tho
-
weak album, weak minded people who like it
the album is not weak. & people are not weak minded who bought . you are the one with weak mind & weak minded closeminded ignorant bullcrap. . you hate on an album for being postive & that is straight closeminded & igorant . the album is for strong minded people not weak minded people like you who do nothing by negative ignorant crap.

WOW

EMINEM IS THE GREATEST RAPPER OF ALL TIME. HIS PRODUCTION SKILLS ARE THE SHIT!!!

YOU CRAZY? YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW HARD IT WAS FOR HIM? DIDNT YOU SEE 8 MILE? BEING MOCKED BECAUSE OF HIS SKIN COLOR. HE EVEN HAS THE RIGHT TO SAY THE N WORD IF HE WANTS, I MEAN HE HANGS WITH DRE.

Ha ha that made me lol an i am a big Snoop fan but you shut him up with that comment.
I purchased the album just before and just finished listening to it.
Pretty good album, probably betetr than i expected, judging from what i've heard an read an the guest features, etc.
i was hesitant and indeciseive to buy it.
I love how he rappin on there, i do miss the sick an funny shit a little but glad to hear no dumb voices an accents.
iam actually suprised it has sold so well though, and that it out did Relapse.
I wouldnt think this album would appeal to yung people that much.
Its not a party album like most of Ems other albums, more a sit back and listen type of album.
Iam thinkin that Ems gained alot of sales from females with this one.

Eminem's 'Recovery' album is doing crazy numbers. In addition to debuting at # 1 this week with 741,000 copies sold. The album has basically taken over the Billboard Hot 100 with 7 songs in it's singles chart.
This is just an insane accomplishment that nobody could have predicted.
The songs in the top 100 are:
2. Love The Way You Lie Featuring Rihanna
11. Not Afraid
23. No Love Featuring Lil Wayne
62. Won’t Back Down Featuring P!nk
71. Cold Wind Blows
88. Talkin’ 2 Myself Featuring Kobe
92. 25 To Life
Goddamn :o :o

pac is a legend don't even put this wanna b in the same sentence wit pac....

^You're really going to try to make the argument Eminem is not a legend? :D

Eminem shits all over 2pack. Go tell pac to cringe @ "calling girls the..b.b.bbb word" HAAAAAAA fucking busta!
-
He prolly meant pacs legendary status is better or higher than ems...ultimately meanin pac was a better artist?
-
already platinum. nice
-

Its a tough one. I could see either side of the argument. I personally will listen to an aminem album over a Pac.
-
That is a tuff one..unless there is a unreleased pac album wit dres work on it...dont care 4 eminems lyrics so main reason i listen 2 his muzik is 4 the production
-
and another 229,526K in the third week...
not bad at all
-

That's better than most artists do overall. :P
-
He was black?
-
hes what ever race that honduras lookin motherfucker is in the picture next to you flossing his crispy bws tee.
-
Wonder if he'll hit multi plat. Guess BEP have done it.
-
Wonder if he'll hit multi plat. Guess BEP have done it.
He will. Relapse is only 5-6k away from 2 million sold and will pass that in a few weeks time. Recovery is over 1,2 mil already and will easily outsell Relapse.
Hopefully they'll push "No Love" as the next single. Bound to be huge.
-
fourth week sales 194,072K
-
Wow, these sales are impressive i must say. Only a slight decline on last week.
-
Vanilla Ice doing impressive numbers
-
What an animal.
-
Wow. These #s are insane.
-

That could really put this album over the top. If it's selling like this with just the first track and the Rihanna track not even having a video yet, then a vid with Lil Wayne could put this album in the 4 to 5 platinum category.
It's funny though that he needs to work so hard to get to the number of sales that Encore got with out even trying, but while the album as a a whole hasn't really grown on me Cold Wind Blows, Cinderella Man and No Love are getting a lot of repeats on my Cowon D2 music player.
-
the hadaway sample, corny ass fuck. omg
-
I heard next single is Love The Way You Lie
-
anybody know how many has em' sold in Uk ?
-
Great numbers. Album got old quick, No Love is the only joint that still sounds fresh.
And with the Rihanna track being the next single and the vid for No Love already shot, he can go 4x plat.
-
album is just so corny, the more you listen to it the more you realize there is NO substance in the album
-
The only tracks I still find myself bumpin' are Talkin' 2 Myself, and oh yea 2 guilty pleasures lol, Love the way you Lie & No Love
-
Im still really liking Seduction and So Bad. Now and again i play the album back to front although that proof track needs to get to fuck. Horrible
-
album is just so corny, the more you listen to it the more you realize there is NO substance in the album
Actually, the more I listened, the more substance I found that the album had. It's lost some replay value though, I haven't bumped a song in over 2-3 weeks.
But "Love The Way You Lie" is on the radio every 30 mintues; it's got so much buzz. Once they make the video for that, it'll sell even more.
I wonder if he'll make a "Refill" kind of thing for "Recovery" & re-release the album with some extra songs..wouldn't put it past Interscope.
-
refill>>>recovery mainly 4 the production...recovery way outta his style
-
RECOVERY is ok. but too many wack songs, RELAPSE WAS SO MUCH BETTER ALBUM!

-
Eminem's not made a good album for about 6/7 years for me, but I have to say Recovery was a definite improvement on his last 2/3 efforts. Thats not to say I loved it, but it had some genuinely good tracks on it.
I'd say it was half and half. Some good, some bad. Which is better than just 100% terrible like his last few efforts were.
-
lookin forward to see new vid with megan fox cameo.
-
As much props ive given to No Love, the album will never go 5 times platinum no matter how huge that joint would be.
Dude aint sold 2 million yet, yes the numbers are amazing for todays day and age and with a few more hits and a long period of time, he'll possibly the 3 plat mark but even 4 milllion would be unbelievable in todays market and i can't see him hitting them numbers. 5 plat...aint happening.
-
5 all the way through to diamond is still achievable in todays market, it's just that Hip Hop in mainstream is terrible. Not just Hip Hop, but a lot of genre's IE Rock, and Classical are being over-run by teeny boppers that the younger market are more privious to download, and test first
-
anybody know how many has em' sold in Uk ?
EDIT: Sold 309,000 in four weeks. Def on course for multi plat. Relapse took ages to go plat and it was only cause of Refill it did but this is back to normal Em sales.
-
Ems sales going crazy...it will be his fifth week at #1 sellin again around 200K
-
that sales is great,and it shows make some pop material with lyrics and you can win big,as much as i hate jimmy that son of a bitch wins again, this is PAPER STACC'N at it's finest yell
-
refill>>>recovery mainly 4 the production...recovery way outta his style
Why? I thought the production was great. Relapse sounded like he just grabbed a cd of Dre beats and wrote some random shit to it. This one is nice. I don't like how there's like 3-4 depressing / heartbreak songs in a row towards the end. He should've replaced 2 of them with "Session One" and "Ridaz".
-
^Those two should of just been added to the album.
"Ridaz" might be the best song in terms of pure spitting; plus he wasn't yelling lol.
-
Careful what u demand for
-
damn. He killi's this again. ;D haters gone mad 8) 8)
-
Personaly i find the album to be a real grower, it sounds better every time that i hear it. Ok so i only listened to it 5-6 times but still.
Very sick of the two singles on the radio at work though.
i like relapse better in some ways but this album in other ways.

lol eminem is basically the only rap artist selling well
How many non-rap artists are still selling well?
-
I have a question to those people who look at me when I say "Slaughterhouse is good" & they reply "They are wack, they don't sell shit." Does this mean that Eminem is by far the greatest thing on the planet?
Re-check ya logic, homos. ;)
-
what bout real slim shady presents slaughterhouse
-
very very nice !, fuck these haters in here ! 8)YEAH IM TALKING TO YOU !
"eminem doesnt rap about what i want him to rap about, so i am going to be a hater on him" LMAO !

-
Does anybody have the weekly sales for Drake's album?
-
Have heard the singles several times on the radio....you would think they would grow on me but even less impressed. Just can't get into the angry Eminem, especially when everything else besides his verses sound like something a pop rapper would drop.
-
Only because he is WHITE..wake up people...he lost it after MMLP. ::)
-
Y khalil gave him them beats
-
Only because he is WHITE..wake up people...he lost it after MMLP. ::)
true, but the album's lyrics has substance. even tho i dont care for eminem , he's trying to make some music with some meaning, and not some sideshow comdedian music like the other crap he's released for years, so i can respect that.
