Earnings

>Universal Music Group, the world's largest music company, will have a weak third quarter in sales and a "very strong" fourth quarter because of the timing of new albums, parent company Vivendi SA said Thursday.

"Unfortunately there have not been a lot of records released" by Universal in the current quarter, Vivendi Chief Executive Officer Jean-Bernard Levy told investors and analysts on a conference call Thursday. A "buildup" in fourth-quarter releases "will make up for the slight decline" in the present quarter, he said.

Universal expects fourth-quarter releases from artists such as Jay-Z, Eminem, Fergie, Andrea Bocelli, Paulina Rubio and Elton John. Its third-quarter releases include albums by artists such as Method Man and The Roots. Music companies typically save their highest-profile releases for the final quarter, when consumers make holiday purchases.

>Royal Ahold NV, the Dutch owner of Stop & Shop and Giant supermarkets, said second-quarter profit rose 60 percent, led by the U.S. Foodservice distribution unit. The shares rose to a three-year high.

Net income at the Amsterdam-based retailer increased to 219 million euros ($281 million), or 13 cents a share, from 137 million euros, or 8 cents a share, a year earlier, Chief Executive Officer Anders Moberg said. That beat the 159 million-euro estimate of analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News. Operating profit at U.S. Foodservice rose 77 percent.

>InBev NV said second-quarter profit rose 22 percent, exceeding analyst estimates, as the brewer's sales increased in Latin America, and eastern and central Europe. The shares climbed to a record. Net income jumped to 394 million euros ($505 million), or 65 cents a share, from 323 million euros, or 54 cents a share, a year earlier, the Leuven, Belgium-based company said Thursday in a statement.

[AspirinE]

[Jay-19]

G-killa, seriously now... why do we always have to be a groupies just because we want a new Eminem-album? Of course we want, we're all on this forum for fuck sake! Don't you want one?

I would be just as happy if a D12 album came out as if an em album came out...





That "groupie-shit" starting to get boring by now...

[E&M]

I doubt this year will Em release album

[katastrophe]

bets they refer to eminem meaning shady records like they do when meanng d12 ......that pisses me off

i was kidding chill and atm no actually i dont want a eminem album want to know why i joked about that? because people dont read or they dont use logic guy obviously saw the 3 words he wanted NEW EM ALBUM and jizzed all over his keyboard. wann know why i dont want a eminem album atm?

when im gone - classic but bit repetitive "hailiey kim" thin goin on in songs - wants new album

shake that - basic club song poor em verses saved by nate dogg - damages me wanting new album slightly but feels its a step up from encore

fack - wtf marhall wtf - dont want a new album stop the encore shit

touch it verse - bascic - still dont want

thee they go - now im curious will em strike back if he stays like this?

smack that - obviously not

em dont intrest me till he brings heat again so hes next chance is this shady records album.

but remember LOGIC will keep me quiet. saying you want a em album ....fair enough

but when you use stuff like this "doubt it as eminem hinted of anew album a few times" to back of articles that know nothing then i assume your giving yourself false hope...why would you do that? cause you over idolise him therefor il say groupie.

p.s half of you guys need to take me ALOT less seriously. kinda makes me laugh if em goes im just messin about i dont see why ppl get angry you all agree and hop on his dick yet when ive repedadly said DONT TAKE GROUPIE COMMENTS SERIOUS yall cant wait to hate.

yeah, Smack That wasn't good... but There They Go is great! so it's a little about opinions here... ofcourse we don't want no more fack or smack that, but There They go is something like Welcome to Detroit, it's cool.

wow hun that's gotta be the longest post i ever saw u write except for shoutouts i totally n utterly agree, Em has to come up with a lot better stuff than lately if he's gonna do another album, the latest material has been tedious n repetitive - i don't necessarily want Slim Shady back but i'd like 2 hear a mature Marshall show off the talent he really does have. I really don't wanna listen 2 another chapter of the never ending Kim-Marshall saga or contentless club bangers or lame infantile lyrics like fack or puke.

yo they said new jay-z that would be the shit but i really dont think its gonna happen....and eminem prob not, think about it he takes his damn time with albums like long ass time and then pushes it back and pushes it back. but a new em cd, hell yea why not? new music from most of our favorite artist, it would be great. but i do agree about most of the shit g said i kinda disagree with his views on the club songs the reason i do is bc his flow is nuts no one can spit with that kind of flow. they're not 'eminem' songs tho so bring back a mature crazy eminem...the only other way i can describe that is i want him to be like he is on just about every song he does with obie(drips, all the songs on cheers hes feat. on, and there they go)--em is nuts on all those tracks

True that. D12 World was decent and Devil's Night was brilliant. I wonder why they exclude Em from some tracks though? I never quite understood their complete standing as a group...

I completely agree with Ems new shit being weak. The "Like Toy Soldiers" chorus and beat were weak as hell IMO along with a lot of other stuff. and all I can say is wtf about Fack (though its funny its way the hell out there).

Shady is just killin his street cred with this shit. The invasion mix tapes were off the hook and since then there hasnt been much to get real excited about. Hopefully he can put his heart into a great Proof dedidcation song (RIP).

[Shady727]

When they say "EMINEM" they just mean people from his crew and Shady Records. Stuff that maybe he has worked on as producer or something. I dont think that he will be realeasing a solo album. This would be the one time that I WANT to be wrong. It would be the biggest f u to all the people who thought he was done.

I don't think every single person is on every single track.

[Bren08]

Like some people say, Eminem manages to piss of people with every album he comes up with, like with Encore he sorta pissed off the fans b/c obviously it wasn't so great as the ones before it, and yeah its true for me, I don't really listen to it much, I listen a lot more to the older cds
