Just this week Eminem has broken a new record, being the first artist, white or black, to sale one million digital copies of his 2010 Recovery album. He was also acknowledged for being the first artist in the last five years to have two number 1 albums in a 12-month period.
“Recovery selling one million digital albums is an incredible achievement by an incredible artist,” says Interscope Records’ Vice Chairman Steve Berman. “I have had the pleasure of working with Eminem throughout the course of his career, and I’m delighted to be a part of yet another milestone on his amazing journey.”
“We are thrilled to congratulate Eminem on the history-making digital sales success of Recovery,” says Eminem’s manager Paul Rosenberg. “Over the years we’ve made a concerted effort to engage Em’s online fan base so this achievement is especially rewarding. Eminem made an amazing album with Recovery and the fans responded in record numbers.”
Eminem has talked about how people didn’t believe in him because he was a white boy who wanted to become a rapper, but amazingly he proved everyone wrong!
Congratulations to Eminem!!!!!
