Eminem's Big Week
Eminem's Recovery made the music industry seems healthy - or at least not on life support - for one week, anyway. The Detroit rapper's seventh album sold a whopping 732,000 copies in its first week. (My Recovery review is here.) That's the most anybody's sold since AC/DC moved 784,000 in 2008, and more than 7 times as many as Miley Cyrus' Can't Be Tamed, which sold 102,000 last week. The Roots' How I Got Over came in sixth, at 51,000. I guess this advertisment showing off the Recovery CD's many uses got the message out. With Jay-Z, Slim Shady plays Comerica Park in his hometown on September 2 and 3, and Yankee Stadium on September 13 and 14. You can hear Recovery here.
