Eminem’s ‘Revival’ First Week Sales Revised Down

Published: Wednesday 20th Dec 2017 by Rashad

Eminem fans disappointed at the initial first week sales prediction of his latest album, ‘Revival’ (as revealed here), certainly won’t be happy with the latest dose of bad news for the project.

As we previously indicated, ‘Revival’ not only comes as Em’s first major label release to lack a major Hot 100 hit to precede it, but it is also on track to be his first since his 1999 to sell less than 300k after a full premiere tracking week.

Refreshed reports from industry analysts are suggesting they may have been a bit too generous with their initial projection.  Originally believed to be shifting 280-300,000 SPS in the week after its December 15 debut, look inside to see just how many units the set’s expected to move by the end of its first full tracking week on December 22:

Updated Predictions:  Eminem’s ‘Revival’

Eminem (Shady/Aftermath/Interscope) 245-255k SPS, 180-190k [Pure] Sales

If the numbers above prove true, the Grammy-winner will lay claim to his 9th #1 album.  ‘Revival’ follows 2013’s ‘The Marshall Mathers LP 2’ which sold more than 792,000 copies its first week.

    SEE! He should’ve never said that about Donald Trump. Most of Feminem’s fan base consists of psychopath white deranged males. And low self esteem trailer park white girls. With a few blacks that enjoy his rhyming skills. He also messed up by choose that boring duet with Bey as his first single.

    • Coolio December 20, 2017

      Girl okay dont blame beyonce bcuz he been a fan

    • Boytoy1814 December 20, 2017

      Psychopath deranged white males!
      Lmaooooooooooo!

    • Boytoy1814 December 20, 2017

      Okay??? That duet put me 2 sleep! Lol

    • S****** Blonde December 20, 2017

      I guess, those few blacks who enjoy his music are psychopath deranged black males, who voted for Trump as well ??‍♂️

    • jt December 20, 2017

      He wasn’t lying the song with Beyoncé is boring.

    • JOHNVIDAL December 20, 2017

      You´re right. I have never been able to stand him or his fans. Something smelled not tolerable to me.

    • Strawberry December 27, 2017

      What’s boring is your irrational hatred & obvious jealousy of Beyonce. And sppeaking of “duets”, there’s another one out rhere right now you might have heard of it, called PERFECT DUET, and it’s at #1 in america right now.. i think it’s by Ed Sheeran and… “oh that’s right, BEYONCE. (Lmao!!!) #watch the throne. #pop music royalty #b**** bowdown!

    • Strawberry December 27, 2017

      Taking a stand against that orange-faced Racist is the best thing he ever did. He’s already wealthy. WHY SHOULD he sell his soul for the almighty dollar. Any fans worth keeping will stand with him & in the end he will still be remembered for yet another #1 album AND for standing on the Right side of History against bigotry & Hatred.*

    i mean… as much as i truly respect Eminem’s lyricism, creativity, political/social commentary & creativity, this particular album is watered down with FAR TOO MANY features. i get that he was possibly pushed into comprising a “radio/streaming friendly” project, but the album simply has too many rap/sing collabos. its overkill. great political and social messages, but very poor execution of actual tracks. and leading with that god awful record ft. beyonce was a HUGE MISTAKE. glad his team are rushing the release of the ed sheeren single. best commercial track on the album and best option for pushing units through the holiday season and top of 2018 quarter.

    • Julian December 20, 2017

      but that’s exactly what happened on his last three albums and they still sold a gazillion copies!

    • Strawberry December 27, 2017

      Then you must be xtremely disappointed because his duet with your white boy eddie sheeran isnt doing much better. It had 1 decent week of sales and has already fell off considerably. And since both Sheeran AND Beyonce are both sitting at #1 right now, ..maybe the problem isn’t Beyonce. Maybe it isn’t Any of his duet partners. MAYBE the problem is Eminem. #justsayin’

    • Strawberry December 27, 2017

      ..and ANOTHER thing Brent, had he chose to lead with the ed sheeran cut, he would have risked alienating his hip hop base who i guarantee you would’ve said what YOU just said-(“That’s God-awful!) As they do mostly see Sheeran as a “milquetoast” wanna-be-down artist, and would likely see “The River” as a corny collabo with a corny artist on an even cornier song. He’d get much more respect when its just him. By himself. with a mike. (ala “Lose Yourself”) sellin’ that spitgame oldschool. Oh, but you probably mean he’d fare better at POP radio singin’ with the Top40 white postaboy-of the moment. WELL.. after his recent public Trump “beatdown”, ..good luck wit dat. #justsayin’ part 2.

    This might mean that Taylor is the best selling act of the year? But it won’t be official until we see what Justin Timberlake does if he comes out. This is so Funny tho after all last year with the #TaylorIsOverParty Now look at how the year played out. Lol Funny!

    • Strawberry December 27, 2017

      ..uh, i don’t know if the Taylor-party’s over just yet, ..But if top40 radio’s reception of her first FOUR “Reputation” singles are any indication, i’d say the partyguests are definitely starting to file out. Perhaps the mainstreamers are finally waking up from their bubblegum nightmare and realizing what the hiphoppers have known for years and therefore could never understand the phenom. decent songwriter.. But the girl can’t sing her way out of a paper bag.** #most overrated artist in rock’nroll history! #kanyewasright. #she sucks. we all know it. everybody thinks it. It’s about time somebody said it.

  5. Fancy BISH December 20, 2017

    Interesting lol…I own all of Emineesha’s albums except the last two…well, three now! PO THANG

    • Electrikblue December 20, 2017

      This album is pretty good to me.

  6. cocobutta December 20, 2017

    One of his weakest projects yet.

  7. S****** Blonde December 20, 2017

    I blame Beyoncé, she ruins everything.

    • We are the grandchildren of the slaves you couldn’t kill – tyler December 20, 2017

      Take responsibility! You failed your own fave, you fake ass wannabe Donald Trump. Go purchase an album.

      • S****** Blonde December 20, 2017

        I hate Trump, don’t compare me with that clown, I bought the album btw, you chould too ?

    • Strawberry December 27, 2017

      Hey RACIST white boy! dont git cho panties in a bunch cause yo white idol is flopping. And dont you DARE blame The Queen, Beyonce. Her angelic vocals is the best thing on that whole album! Just caus you can’t stand that for the past half century the pop music kingdom’s greatest talents were Black. First Michael Jackson and Then, the untouchable, flawless Beyonce. The Greatest performer of THIS generation. and you racist crackers can’t stand it. That’s why you hate her. LMAO! The Problem was that crazy song he threw at her. (I mean, REALLY??! ..actual audible sounds of a nutjob ballin up paper cause he’s worried it might not be a hit..WTF) It was a stupid theme, all about himself afraid of failure- No one’s gonna play dat on the Radio. No one can Relate to it. He wasted the opportunity to go to#1 with Beyonce, on a song that was clearly BENEATH her awesome talets & stellar vocals. Now when you take a GOOD song and you put Beyonce on it, Then you go to#1. Just ask Ed Sheeran. Because NOW, instead of “Rockstar”,or”Havana”,he sits proudly on the Throne next to The Queen*, at no.1. NOT just in America, but across the WORLD. Now Blame Beyonce for THAT. *DEAL with it. (I Know it must hurt when the Queen Bee stings.)

  8. Lupita December 20, 2017

    After RIhanna saving his career twice, an album full of 5-star-collaborators were not enough to save Em’s downfall.

  9. Electrikblue December 20, 2017

    You can tell a lot of people haven’t listened to the album in this come t section. He’s still selling well for this climate of music. Also he even rapped about his dwindling stardom on the album lol. He’s still1 if the greates MCs

    • S****** Blonde December 20, 2017

      Exactly, The only thing I don’t like about the album is all the features, especially the Beyoncé one, other than that, a great effort.

      • Strawberry December 27, 2017

        Beyonce reminds you of all the hot girls that rejected you down thru the years, doesn’t she, s****** blonde? .. or maybe you wish u WERE her?

  10. DanYiel Iman December 20, 2017

    I’m not s fan no matter what he does!!

    • DanYiel Iman December 20, 2017

      *a

  11. Yes. December 20, 2017

    I’m not surprised, he has been on the downfall Over he last few years. He hasn’t made a good song in years. I used to be really into his music, but now the music isn’t doing it for me anymore..

    • S****** Blonde December 20, 2017

      Pathetic claim, God Rap alone is better than anything most rappers has done in the last 10 years.

      • Yes. December 20, 2017

        It’s rap god isnt it? Not rap god?… someone’s confused.

      • S****** Blonde December 20, 2017

        You get the point ?

  12. Caleb December 20, 2017

    I think she the trailer parks aren’t f****** with him anymore after the Trump diss.

    • Video December 20, 2017

      True.
      Em said he doesn’t give a sh/t, and that they can go fk themselves ?

  13. Ocean December 20, 2017

    This album isn’t good. I think his hits with rihanna/Dido/Skylar may have forced him to try more subdued music.

  14. JOHNVIDAL December 20, 2017

    Wow those would be the same pure sales as the “oh what a supposed flop” Joanne was first week. I´m kind of shocked. But hey I can only say FINALLY. I don´t know why he gets so many passes and most of the others don´t.

    • S****** Blonde December 20, 2017

      B****!, get over it, he’s king, you should bow down.

      • Blessed December 20, 2017

        STFU you monogoliod looking racist..hes entitled to his opinion. B/tch ass meth head.

  15. Eddy December 20, 2017

    I think this is his best album to date. A slightly more commercial mixture than his die hard fans would have liked but sure to be a very successful album.

  16. December 20, 2017

    This is Eminem he will be ok.

  17. ??? December 20, 2017

    lol i knew it. the roach cursed his sales with that walk on water flop lmfao. next time he better get Rihanna again lol.

    • Strawberry December 27, 2017

      You LOVE to talk about Roaches. I bet your house is crawling with them. That’s why you so Jealous of Beyonce. Because she’s the polar opposite of a Loser like YOU. Long live the Queen of Pop, the greatest entertainer of Our generation. Meanwhile you haters can sit on the sidelines & seethe & make nasty ineffective comments, while she Rules. LMAO. best revenge is dem papers. #LivingLegend. #popRoyalty. #theFlawless one.***

  18. disappointed December 20, 2017

    The album is ok, I think there is too much Rick Rubin and Skylar Grey influence on his last two albums. the environment of hip hop and the world has changed too much for him to be reusing his old lines in his music. I have been an Eminem fan from the beginning and I feel like he has not grown enough or kept up with his skill. And yes, I have listened to the whole album which he finishes on a more mature note but he is 45 that should have happened years ago.

  19. James97 December 20, 2017

    for all you guys dogging him -Fake fans left you two-faced at the show
    Let heartbeats loop, produce hate in my soul
    Layin’ vocals two days in a row
    True statement, hate to go down this road
    But there’s only one route to cross this bridge
    So I walk in this b**** with loose change
    ‘Cause all my dues paid, but this booth’s takin’ its toll
    But it’s never too late to start a new beginnin’
    That goes for you too, so what the f*** you gon’ do?-Eminem

  20. Theman December 20, 2017

    He doesn’t have a hit single out to boost his sales higher. But these are good numbers in general. He’ll be aight. He’s one of the biggest artists out there.

  21. e.b December 23, 2017

    I guess y’all haven’t listened his revival interview yet and that’s why u keep talkin’ s***

  22. American (RIGHT) December 28, 2017

    I used to like Eminem until he went after my president. Woopty doo. Eminem is famous! Why does that meen he should be listened to? He obviously watches and listens to Fake News. Democrats should just lay down and stop crying about someone thats dishing out what they put Republicans through for sooooooo many years. You can dish it out but, can’t take it. If it was a Republican talking that way about Obama they would be alienated and the cry babies would want that person fired and charges filed against them.

    • Strawberry December 28, 2017

      you are a fool to call that narcissistic criminal jerk your president

      • Chris January 19, 2018

        Shut up you sensitive Homo sexual. Call it what it is if you look it up Trump is the president of the UNITED STATES! ??

  23. Chris January 19, 2018

    F*** Eminem. Respect my president m***********! That’s what you get??

    • Strawberry. January 19, 2018

      Hey Trumpmonster, i know it must be exciting to have the first neo-nazi president in post-Civil war history (enjoy it while u can-it won’t last long)..but you’re getting a little carried away with the personal labe l s. I am actually NOT homosexual, but if iwere, what would be wrong with that? #closetcaseMuch?**

      • Strawberry. January 19, 2018

        ..but hey Chris, ..i AM sensitive, tho “kiss-kiss”..CALL ME.** #a republican & a democrat-sittin’ in a Tree…
