Eminem breaks US download record

Posted by Koko


Here's a little music news from the BBC. I can't wait for this album.


"Eminem's long-awaited comeback single has broken a download record and topped the US Billboard singles chart.

Crack A Bottle, which also features Dr Dre, has sold more than 418,000 online copies, the most ever in a first week of release.

The previous best was Live Your Life by rapper TI, which shifted 335,000 downloads last October.

The new single comes ahead of Relapse, the first new album from Eminem since 2004's Encore.

Crack A Bottle now becomes the third best selling download single. It sits behind Lady GaGa's Just Dance on 419,000 and Flo Rida's Low on 467,000"

Deleted the first post because the grammar was terrible!

I too am excited about the release of the new album. I do feel that the first single has not carried as much hype as previous first singles. I don't feel it lives up to the high standard he has set for his single releases, I personal do not like the sound of the new single, but what the hell do I know.

I don't know JDub, I definitely think "Crack a Bottle" is better than the first single that came out for Encore which was "Just Lose It."

It's kind of a new sound for him too, I like that he doesn't just try to do the same thing over and over. All his albums have a distinctive mood and sound.
