EMINEM SCRAPS THE SEQUEL
NEW ALBUM, RECOVERY SET FOR JUNE 18 RELEASE
The much-anticipated new album from Eminem, Recovery on the Aftermath/Interscope lable, is set to be released June 18, 2010.
On Recovery, his seventh major label studio album, Eminem has reached out to an exciting list of first-time collaborators, including DJ Khalil, Just Blaze, Jim Jonsin and Boi-1da, showing that it's not what you know, it's who you know, and how you get down with them.
Eminem releases Recovery little more than a year after his last album, 2009’s Relapse, and yes, there does seem to be a clear theme emerging doesn't there?
Relapse put the cap on an impressive ten years of recorded output, and contributed to Eminem being the biggest selling artist of 2000-2009 in the US.
In recognition of this, Neilsen SoundScan named him their Artist of the Decade. Relapse entered the charts at Number 1 and, at nearly double platinum, was the best selling rap album of last year. Relapse was also a #1 ARIA Album that has surpassed Platinum sales.
Relapse also earned Eminem his 11th Grammy award, winning in the Best Rap Album category.
Relapse’s first single, Crack A Bottle from Eminem, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent, soared to Number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 (Eminem’s second Number 1 after 2002’s Lose Yourself) and set a SoundScan record at the time of its release for opening week download sales (418,000).
The album also spun off two other hits; the Top 10 We Made You and Top 20 Beautiful.
"I had originally planned for Relapse 2 to come out last year," remarked Eminem. "But as I kept recording and working with new producers, the idea of a sequel to Relapse started to make less and less sense to me, and I wanted to make a completely new album. The music on Recovery came out very different from Relapse, and I think it deserves its own title."
Eminem has sold more than 78,000,000 albums worldwide. After 1999’s quadruple platinum The Slim Shady LP, The Marshall Mathers LP (2000) and The Eminem Show (2002) became two of the Top 5 best selling albums of the 2000s, with approximately 10,000,000 copies of each sold in the U.S. alone. 2004’s Grammy-nominated Encore reached #1 and was certified quadruple platinum. The #1, double platinum, 2005 greatest hits collection Curtain Call: The Hits and #2, platinum, 2006 various artists compilation Eminem Presents: The Re-Up followed.
