How is Crack A Bottle only Eminem's second #1 single

[Brandon S]

Thats so crazy to think that Crack A Bottle charted higher than Without Me, Cleaning Out My Closet and The Real Slim Shady, etc. Crack A Bottle aint even on those songs levels in my opinion, and its his second #1 single along with Lose Yourself. WTF those two are uncomparable. This shows two things: People have really missed Eminem's music and this also shows there is no fucking good music out right now

1. Music business is in a bit of a slump, not many songs got released these past weeks/months.

2. Eminem is on a song with Dr. Dre and 50 Cent, those two will attract fans also.

3. Eminem has been gone for long while.

4. Industry has changed since those days, digital sales are far more important now.

Nevermind.

I agree with you but problem is its not an eminem song either lol Dre n 50 with him
Lose yourself was all him..
I am with you that people really wanna hear Eminem rap again n I guess thats the reason to all the success

[AJS2050]

yeh theres no doubt he shoulda had more, in the UK his had 7 #1's.

But Relpase will make up for it because ive got a feeling most if not all the songs he releases from it will reach the summit of the chart.

Maybe coz it is 1st song from Eminem in few years and everybody are hyped about his comeback.

ps. It's not Eminem's single

Of course it is...

But it's Swagger like us, it's 50 Cent's and Dr. Dre's single too...

Haha yeah, plus what everyone else has already said.

I agree 100%. its only because he hasent released a song in forever, plus it has Dr. Dre on it. No one cares about 50. And i bet that 90% of the people that downloaded it dont even know that the song leaked and that there is another version with just Em on it. Hip Hop is dieing and when someone like Em comes along with anything, old hip hop heads and anyone else that listens to rap is going to tune in. Good for EM, Dre and 50( will fuck 50 he sucks). This just shows that Em and Dre are needed. Rap music just isnt the same without them. So when Relapse drops, shit is going to be nuts. It will be just like the MMLP days. Not the quality of music b/c nothing can top that, but the hysteria that will be going on is going to be like to good old days. So everyone on this forum, please stop bitching and complaining about when Relapse is going to drop. we are all in the same boat. We all want it. its coming for sure. Stop comparing it to Detox, because Em is on a whole different level then Dre and wont fuck with us like that. He knows that people love his music and anything he puts out is going to sell. So hes taking his time, just like Jay-Z is. Hes got over 100 song to choose from. So hes probably going through them all. Tinkering with them until there up to the level that he likes and then it will be released. The longer the wait, the more excited we are going to be when it gets released. This album is going to be so dop, no doubt in that. So congrats Em for having a song reach number 1. fuck you 50 for taking this as a song on you new CD b/c there are no good songs on BISD probably besides crack a bottle. Dr Dre, take your time with Detox. I dont even care if you never release it. just produce Slim's tracks and help Em regain his top spot in hip hop. no more lil wayne, no more T Pain, not more chris brown. The great white hope is back and is going to show everyone whats up. RELAPSE......it will come soon enough

i think that "crack a bottle" should be an indicator of his creative mind state at this moment...relapse is gonna be a poppy album imo...its probably gonna be real lyrical cuz he wants to prove himself again but i think its gonna be more of "rhyming just to rhyme" kinda thing

that's it ,, you said it . music produced right know sucks ,, you can expect that from 2009 Grammy's when wanye takes the best rap album ,, ohh shit,, i can't get it ..

It's only his second number one because back then, digital sales didn't count... and for eminem, people usually bought albums and not just his singles, that's why his albums sell great... as opposed to let's say beyonce, who sells a shitload of singles but albums not that great... Lose Yourself was his only #1 because no one really wanted to buy the soundtrack so they just bought this song... Crack a Bottle, digital sales count therefore people who buy it on itunes get counted towards the total.

yeah i agree with that preety much, its the same with Jay-Z, his albums can shift really well but the singles tend to fail in comparison.
