😟😢😱 I’ve just read this article which predicts Em’s first week sales, and its below below SSLP they think it will max at 280 - 300k. The SSLP shifted 283k in it’s first week. Start demanding your physical copies guys and girls because that number is even lower 😱😱😱 I hope poor em’s ego can take it and he doesn’t re-enter the bat cave never to be seen again! hiphop-n-more.com/2017/12/eminem-revival-first-week-sales/I was just complaining to my mom today about how Universal kinda ruined his first week sales! How is the first week sales counted? If the album released a friday, is it sold the first week if you buy it the following thursday or friday? I've been trying to compensate by streaming Revival on Spotify 24/7, lol

It’s just been so messy. River is blowing up all over the internet yet still there is no video, no promo. Like Home is trending really well again no video or promo. Alicia fans are calling for a video. Believe will go down well with the ‘kids’ because of the trap feel to it. But again no promo, no videos. What are Shady records doing? We should organise and knock on their front door and ask them WTF guys? 😂😂😂

River needs to impact radio, and Believe needs to be performed Although, I think word of mouth could do a lot

Like how can a record company mess up like that? I saw a tweet from someone else having the same problem so I guess it's not only finland? That's really unfair to Em too. Of course a video or a new single wouldn't hurt... 😇

Em is asked about whether he is going to retire. Here's his response:
You say in the song "Castle" that you're done, and we hope that's not true. How would you describe this point in your career?
I don't know. I'm at a funny place, you know? Hip-hop has been around for a long time but I don't know if it's really been around long enough to see how long someone could actually go for. You've still got guys like me and Jay-Z. Redman still has it, to me. I'm not sure what I'm going to do next, but I'm still passionate about music, and hip-hop.
www.npr.org/2017/12/16/571171947/i-speak-to-everybody-who-is-even-remotely-like-me-eminem-on-revivalI don't no why rappers are expected to retire anyways. Artists should make art for as long as they want to.

Completely agree, it’s a grower and I’m sure in a year to 18 months it will have shifted 5-7 million. Mr. Porter admitted Adele was meant to do WoW not Beyoncé. That would have shifted a lot more copies, Adele’s fans a huge record buyers. 😱😂

I'm not a huge Beyonce fan and I don't get all the Beyonce worship. She has an average voice with a limited range. She is a very good performer and has a great stage presence, but her voice is lacking. My girlfriends and I were just having this convo last night. We all agreed there are other singers that are better like Pink, Kelly Clarkson, Arianna Grande, Chrstina Aguilera, even Lady Gaga...and of course Adele. But she can dance really well which makes her a good performer. One of my friends said she's the 21 century Madonna. She has an average voice but is a good entertainer and knows how to market herself. Where did Denuan say all this?

Think about it -- it's been known she doesn't write as much as she claims of her songs. But she knows how to play the game. She and J are a power couple, and you need that in pop Like, I love Xtina, but what has she done since that singing show? You gotta have drive almost more than talent I wonder what else they're gonna do to push this album, or if they just don't really care?

You gotta have drive almost more than talent I wonder what else they're gonna do to push this album, or if they just don't really care? That's actually how the whole convo came up. We were talking about how Beyonce doesn't write any of her songs but always has a writers credit. So we looked up WoW to see if she is credited as a writer and sure enough, according to Wikipedia she is. None of us think she actually had anything to do with writing the song. We think Skylar Grey write the chorus and they agreed to give Beyonce the writers credit and Skylar could have the producer credit. Has Skylar ever had a producer credit? I have never known her to do anything but write and sing. But I think that is a deal they made with Skylar to appease Beyonce. Someone mentioned that Elvis did the same thing. He never wrote any of his songs but always had a writers credit. Apparently, he wanted to sing Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" but it would require her giving him the rights to the song. She passed on it. Good thing, she made millions off the Whitney Houston version. People that try to take credit for other people's work just rub me the wrong way. I think you're right though that she is very good at branding/marketing. Have you ever seen one of her interviews? She comes across as a slow person, like mentally slow. Wendy Williams is known to make fun of her in her interviews. But she doesn't come across as being very bright. I think she's just really shy and doesn't like doing interviews. Although, my friends and I all agreed that she sometimes looks kinda manly. Here is an example we all agreed she could possibly be a man dressed as a woman. www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/05/04/beyonce-met-gala-2015-dress-photos_n_7209436.html

Carson Daly was like "um, no" Pink, Xtina, Adele, they say when they write and don't write their songs. Weird Beyoncé feels the need to lie Also, ppl on Twitter seem to love the album, it critical reviews are savage Which is weird, cuz it's definitely no worse than MMLP

When I saw Adele in DTown over 2 years ago she mentioned that she would love to collaborate with EM. Don't know if they ever met when she was there, they could have, but Adele sang the praises of EM at her show. Would have preferred her over Beyonce anytime!

Well, I got an email from Amazon saying the album wouldn't be here until Friday. Really upset me. I read somewhere that not enough copies have been shipped, that people aren't able to find them in Target and other places. Anyways that made me go look at my local Wal-Mart just to see if they had any copies and after a little searching, I didn't realize how dark the cover was until it was on a rack with 20 other CD's I found four copies of the clean version. I was like well they are clean most likely why there are still here. I walked off then thought what the heck, grab a clean version for the Jeep so I can play with the kids in the car. Save the lecture from my husband I received when our then three-year knew all the words to "The Monster". Plus it is the least I can do after Em blessed us with the topless photo on the back... :t2 :pp I just feel that this is very weird, maybe they expected everyone to buy it digitally? Fan's wouldn't want the actually CD, yet they push re-releases of his older albums on cassette tapes? I want to the album to do well, why I have essentially purchased two copies, I just wished I had the inside scoop on the logic behind this roll out.

I got the story from NME.com they actually imbedded the YouTube video with the Denuan interview in their article if you wanna check it out. She had issues with her voice, so I’m guessing it was meant to be around the time she cancelled her last 2 Wembley shows. Shame she would have been awesome on that track. He also talks about why 2chainz got cut and about why no other rapper features are on the album. It’s also trending on twitter at the moment 😂

Beyonce is a great entertainer but her need to seems always so perfect and controlled annoys the hell out of me. I don't like fake... her crediting every songs is a good exemple.
River also made me think of Jenny lol, I really doubt it is, I doubt her words about being pregnant blabla but that's funny.
I said I was scared of another song with Pink but I loooove Need me!! My first thought is that it's inspired by Kim, you know with what happened to her recently. We were even speculating that the Kim's incident was why the album took so long from coming, that maybe he had to spend more time with the kids, at least Whitney. Not that's it 100% about her but still... a girl that makes bad decisions and him being the more stable one, always going to be there for her as a friend.
