A big congratulations goes out to Eminem who has become the first recording artist to sell a million digital copies of a single full album!
About the success in sales of Eminem’s Recovery, Eminem’s manager, Paul Rosenberg, said in a statement:
“Over the years, we’ve made a concerted effort to engage Em’s online fan base, so this achievement is especially rewarding.”
Recovery features the major hits Love The Way You Lie with Rihanna and Not Afraid.
Adele will next join Eminem in celebrating this milestone since her sophomore release, 21, is at 992,000 digital copies sold in just 19 weeks. Lady Gaga is also very close to reaching the same milestone, with more than 900,000 digital sales (and counting) of her 2008 release, The Fame.
What’s the best single track of all time? The Black Eyed Peas’ I Got A Feeling has sold seven+ million downloads.
