For most music artists in the world today....those achievements for an album would be considered fucking amazing.
Em has never sold a bad album. Encore and Relapse- not as good as his 3 previous albums, and still sold great for music sales in general, Recovery # 1, Relapse # 2, and I bet Encore sold a few mil, and did decently on the charts as well, I don't have the numbers in front of me though. Didn't The Re-Up do gold too? Fuck, that's pretty damn good for a mixtape/promotional album.
Encore sold 11 million worldwide in under a year lmfao. It was more successful than SSLP.
