There seems to be no stopping the chart force that is Eminem. The rapper has just achieved his 6th #1 album on the UK Albums Chart with ‘Recovery’. The LP now holds the distinction of having the best single week sales of any album in that territory thus far this year with sales of 140k. Eminem also has 2 singles in the top 10 of the Official UK Singles Chart as ‘Not Afraid’ sits at #5 and ‘Love The Way You Lie (Ft. Rihanna)‘ debuted at No. 7.
Another US import to score on the UK charts is Katy Perry, whose new single, ‘California Gurls’, has hit #1 on the Singles Chart. That marks the 2nd song of Perry’s to claim the op spot (the 1st being ‘I Kissed A Girl’ back in 2008). The US might not be very good at playing World Cup football but it continues it’s dominance on the music scene! {Source}
both FAIL suckass music artists.
Actually I lie, I do like Katy perryz last album “thinking of you” was my jam !
*WHO OWNS THE THRONE?*
*YOU DO MOMMY!*
THE UK ISNT BETTER AT THE WORLD CUP
LOSING YESTERDAY WHEN GERMANY KICKED THEIR BOOOTYS
THE UK IS ONLY GOOD AT FOLLOWING TRENDS IN THE STATES. NOW F*** OFF TRENT!!!! TRUTH.
That Rihanna reign just wont let up!!!!
It’s always interesting seeing how albums fare in UK sales, especially when they obtain the number one spot. Interesting.
And Trent, I know you’re not from England, but Germany kicked England’s ass yesterday, so they suck. Once everyone see’s the performance of the national team, they realize that the true talent lies in the international players that teams like Manchester United and Chelsea bring in.
^^^^Completely agree, England were appalling yesterday, truly shambolic.
Interesting. I’m wondering where @Last Boy On Earth is, who was claiming “Americans” don’t recognize true talent because Katy Perry is number one on Billboard, yet she’s hit number one in the UK. Hmmmm, now what does this display ladies and gents?
lol, @danbofficial nice to know how much time u have on your hands and luv for chris if you would send so much time making an avi of him….
and good for katy and eminem…..
eminems shoes in that pic are wierd lol
@team weezy
atleast on the UK all type of songs can be big hits while on the US since the beggining of this decade only bubble gum pop songs and rap songs are #1s, very few ballads and the rest are American Idol winners, riiight. When was the last time that pure R&B was number 1 without help of a reality show? When was the last time an heavy rock song was an hit on the US? Metal, Jazz…
Nothing bad about Pop songs, they are always fun to listen too but diversity is the priority on Art
Um didn’t England get blew out by Germany the other day lol 4-1???
@Last Boy On Earth
I’m not disagreeing with your theory, my point is don’t label “Americans” as unrecognizing of true talent for having Katy Perry’s song at number one when it’s number one in UK. It just makes your opinion of Americans the same opinion of that in the UK.
And I don’t think it’s fair to generalize all Americans as that because me being an African American woman, people automatically assume that I only like R&B and Rap music which is far from the truth. I’m a VERY eclectic music listener! Now don’t get me wrong R&B and Rap are my favorite genres of music, but I love ALL genres of music and all musical artists Wayne to Queen to Paramore to MJ to Beyonce to Kings of Leon to Elton John to Prince and anything else that’s pleasing to my ear on this planet. So I don’t discriminate.
@Team Weezy
I know how you feel, people are so quick to throw out labels that sometimes all you can do is shake your head. I get sideways looks when I mention how much I love MGMT or Phoenix like why way to assume I’m supposed to only listen to Gucci Mane.
A message to all the obese FAT Americans.
England gave you the beatles honey B’s, the music sucessful music artists in the world.
Thankyou and G’night.
*WHO OWNS THE F****** THRONE?*
*YOU DO MOMMY!*
typo*
the MOST sucessful !
someone needs sleep -_-
This Trent guy is funny,,,”The US might not be very good at playing World Cup football but it continues it’s dominance on the music scene!”,,,And England got whipped by Germany.
We all know da teams to watch are Ghana and Brazil.I might throw in Argentina but dat coach Maradona is a total nutcase running around like he is on drugs!
On da topic,,THEY BOTH PALE ND SUX!,, SHAME ON UK FOR BUYING THEIR SHITEOUS MUSIC!!
@DANBOFFICIAL
11 grammies and 80 million albums sold is a fail in your book – h*ll what would the guy need to do to succeed?
and
@BACQUI
so what if he’s pale? – doesn’t effect whether the musics good or not.
@DanBOfficial
Yeah of course, but did we AMERICANS not give the ENTIRE UNIVERSE the GREATEST ENTERTAINER TO EVER EXIST, MICHAEL JACKSON? 🙂
