The mega rap star, Eminem must have done a really good job performing at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards because his latest album, “Relapse” sold another 211,000 more units allowing it to stay at the # 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for a second week, for the week of June 6,2009. “Relapse” is on track to sell more than 1 million copies within the next two weeks according to the Nielsen SoundScan numbers. After “Relapse” debuted at # 1, it was able to stay at # 1 despite having a 65 percent drop in sales,and that’s pretty strong.

Coming in at # 2 on the Billboard charts this week is Green Day which held onto the # 2 spot by selling 76,000 units after having a 54 percent drop in sales. These numbers will put them on pace to sell about 500,000 units by next week.

Eminem’s next single, “3 A.M.” from his new album, “Relapse” leaked online today (4-23-09). It has more of a hardcore, grungy, underground type of sound to it which I personally do not like. I totally loved the “We Made You” song, and I really thought that Eminem was going to get back to his funny roots which really made him unique. But according to him and what he said on his Sirius satellite radio show, the “3 A.M.” track is going to be what the majority of his album would sound like. If this is truly the case I will be very disappointed.

He went on to say that the video for “3 A.M.” has already been filmed in Detroit, and will be released on May 19,2009. All I can say, is that I can definitely wait. He said that the “We Made You” song was more of just a spoof song, but I feel like that should be what his entire album is like. That stuff is funny,and sounds good. The “Crack a Bottle” jam was good also. That’s a good flow right there.

Update : Hey,everybody. I’ve heard your opinions on this matter. I would like to retract the previous statement as I didn’t explain it as well as I should have. I like Eminem’s lyrics. I think they’re super tight. I just don’t like the particular beat that he uses for “3 A.M.”. I’m really particular about beats,and that one just didn’t do it for me. I respect all your opinions. Much love.
