Eminem’s strength in the game continue’s to stay up top with the release of his Recovery album.
Recovery topped the charts this week moving 741,000 copies and beoming Em’s sixth consecutive Number One album. And I will vouch that this album is HOT! I’ve been listening to it in HEAVY rotation.
With its debut sales, Recovery is the biggest Number One album since AC/DC’s Black Ice, which sold 784,000 its debut week in October 2008. Eminem also scores the best first-week sales of 2010, bumping out Sade’s Soldier of Love, which moved 502,000 copies its first week. With Recovery, Eminem rebounds from the disappointing first-week sales numbers from his last album, Relapse. “He felt like he missed a lot of people with that record,” the MC’s longtime manager, Paul Rosenberg, tells Rolling Stone. “It was too insular, geared too much to hardcore Eminem fans who wanted the serial-killer fantasies and Slim Shady stuff.”
