Official 'I Need A Doctor' iTunes Thread

[One Mic]

Well Bruno Mars & Pink will sell around 200k this week, Bruno Mars has much better airplay than Pink his song is at 139.830 on Mediabase. So Mars could end up with a total of around 339k points. I Need a Doctor would have to sell more than 350k in its first week i guess just like Not Afraid did.

Cool, thanks for that.

I'm not sure it will do it, but judging from the pop bars you posted, and whether INAD can keep it up, I certainly wouldn't rule it out.

It's got until this Sunday, when the sales tracking week ends, right?

Yeah i think I Need A Doctor is still increasing but at a slower rate now so it could be possible if it holds this great lead.

Yeah it has until sunday. If only the US chart were like ours where only sales matter it would be on lock for #1.

What do you mean? Isn't it radio channels who deside which songs they wanna play?

Do people honestly think Eminem will release Space Bound as an official single (which would include a music vid) this close to the release of INAD? Surely they want all the attention and focus on Detox and INAD, and releasing Space Bound at this point isn't a wise business move surely?

I'll hold my hands up if I'm wrong, but I just can't see it.

It's #1 already? That's awesome

The chorus is literally the only thing I don't like about Space Bound. It's a great song, but I've never liked the chorus

[imposter911]

Why would Em release Space Bound?

1. People will think he only does love songs now.
2. The chorus is annoying, not catchy
3. The chorus doesn't have anyone special on it to generate sales / interest
4. INAD just came out
5. Em is insanely popular, this will take Dre's momentum away

i would love for him to release it because its one of my fav. songs on his album but not now lol all dre's momentum would stop...i think it would be a bad move

[Rash J]

Really? I love the chorus

[xxTrigger1989xx]

I can understand why someone would love the chorus, it's just that I don't. It's not because of a female on the chorus (I KNOW it's actually a guy, but it's meant to sound like a girl), it's just because I don't like it. I love I Need A Doctor and 25 To Life's chorus (for example), both hit me a lot harder than Space Bound's does. I guess I just didn't really like the execution as much as others might

[Rash J]

^Interesting. Of all that you've mentioned, Space Bound is definitely my fav hook. It's just something I connected with, especially the last hook when he changed it up to "... and I'm so lost without you". THAT
I always knew it was a guy singing, but it was slightly weird lol. Still, love it

Skylar is becoming one of my favorite singers

Em needs to actually do a solo track with her, but not on one of Alex's beats
