www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/digital-and-mobile/eminem-s-recovery-first-album-to-sell-1-1005263932.storyEminem's 'Recovery' First Album to Sell 1 Million Downloads, Adele Likely To Follow Next Week July 05, 2011 By Keith Caulfield ( keith_caulfield), Los Angeles This week, Eminem's "Recovery" becomes the first album to sell a cumulative 1 million downloads in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The 2010 Web/Shady/Aftermath/Interscope set's total digital haul now stands at 1,001,000. (Overall, the album's total U.S. sales -- including physical copies -- stands at more than 3.9 million.) Since SoundScan began tracking digital album sales in 2005, a total of 12 titles have moved at least 500,000 downloads. Nipping at Eminem's heels is the red-hot Adele, whose 2011 album, "21," will likely surpass 1 million downloads next week. "Recovery" debuted at No. 1 on both the Billboard 200 and Top Digital Albums chart a little over one year ago. It spent seven weeks atop both lists. Two weeks ago, Eminem's fingerprints were at No. 1 on those charts once again, but this time as one-half of the hip-hop duo Bad Meets Evil (with Royce da 5'9"). Its "Hell: the Sequel" effort debuted atop both tallies, shifting an overall 171,000 in its first frame (89,000 were downloads). In a statement, Interscope Records vice chairman Steve Berman said regarding Eminem's digital feat: "'Recovery' selling one million digital albums is an incredible achievement by an incredible artist. 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." The rapper's manager, Paul Rosenberg, added "We are thrilled to congratulate Eminem on the history-making digital sales success of 'Recovery.' 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."

Unless she stops selling, she will more than definitly reach the 1 million mark with this album and since she's been above the 900k since some time with her first album, it is quite possible The Fame will past that mark in the near future too. |

He owned the early 2000's and he's owning the digital age now!
Proves why he's the best artist of all time tbh.

His longevity is very impressive, I doubt many people though he'd still be doing this well.

Adele has passed a million now and has outsold Recovery in digital sales. Yep. Here's some interesting facts: Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl" was the first song to surpass 1,000,000 downloads in the United States back in 2005. It took six more years before an album surpassed 1,000,000 downloads in the United States. The first to do so was Eminem's Recovery in 2011. However, the top selling digital song of all time is The Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling" with over 7,300,000 copies sold. The top selling digital album of all time is Adele's 21 with over 1,100,000 copies sold, which was also the second album to surpass 1,000,000 downloads one week after Recovery did the same feat. |
