Eminem’s just-released Recovery album is in line to snare the top-selling album honors for 2010 based on first-week sales. To date, the rap beats music artist’s career includes more than 7.5 million album sales and Recovery is on track to become the best-selling album of 2010. US sales are approaching 600,000 copies and UK sales of the same disc may exceed 140,000 copies. Recovery will eclipse Drake’s “Thank Me Later” which was released just one week earlier than Recovery.

Drake and Eminem Sales Show Strong Demand For Rap

For those industry analysts who have insisted that rap and hip-hop music are dead, the Recovery/Thank Me Later duo have something to say about that. Rap music is one area in which record sales continue to be strong. In comparison, Miley Cyrus’ Can’t Be Tamed is expected to sell between 125,000 and 150,000 copies in its debut week.

Recovery has not only eclipsed the other contenders on the current album sales charts, it is also expected to outsell Relapse, Eminem’s most recent album. Currently, Recovery has two of the top-ten iTunes downloads: Love The Way You Lie, a duet with Rihanna and Not Afraid. The Recovery Deluxe Edition and Recovery are the top two iTunes albums.

It’s clear that there’s a real demand for rap music. Some of what makes Eminem’s Recovery attractive to fans are the duets. L’il Wayne, Pink and Rihanna all stars in their own right, take a turn with the iconic rap music maker on Recovery. Recovery is Eminem’s solid return to his roots without once falling into formula.

For rap music fans, Recovery and Thank Me Later are both treats to be savored and underscore the staying power of rap music. There’s nothing decidedly complex about either album, which should be exciting to budding rap music stars.
