Official 'I Need A Doctor' iTunes Thread

^lol yeah this chart is abit messed up. But i do think Space Bound will be a hit here. Top 10. Everytime i introduce the song to someone they love it.

To be fair, I mean, the US charts are quite messed up too. Airplanes didn't get to #1, but Raise Your Glass by Pink did!?!

[Drug.Ballad]

Yeah Spacebound will be top 10 UK at least. If he had released it after LTWYL instead of No Love it would have had a better chance of charting higher. I think its got a shot in the top 3 personally, ive got people to listen to it who arent eminem fans and they liked it. Just needs a good music video.

As for INAD, hopefully it gets to number 10 this week, and has a possibility of top 5 next week. Its doing better than i expected.

I don't think I Need a Doctor can make top 5 in the UK, or at least not next week, because Adele will probably be #1, with the charity song that's getting released at #2, B.o.B. at #3, Rihanna at #4 and Wiz Khalifa at #5. So I think the highest it can get overall next week is #6, but even then it'll have to be competing with Lady Gaga and Chris Brown for that position.

Hopefully it'll keep getting more popular though. The UK love all of Alex Da Kid's songs (although that's probably just them being patriotic since he's from the UK too ).

yeah gotta agree with that, still waiting to see when the album is "supposed" to drop, i heard 4/20 but is anything official?

UK first day sales:

Top 10
Dr Dre/Eminem/Skylar Grey

Looks like its finally gunna enter the top 10 in the UK, upto #7 on itunes. Suprised by its success over here.

[Sukot]

I Need a Doctor seems to keep moving between #7 and #10 on UK iTunes at the moment. I think they're all quite close at the moment. Although I think it's definitely safe for top 10 this week, because the only song that looks like it could climb in is the new Black Eyed Peas song, and that's still only #14 at the moment.

I hope you guys brought the track to help it climb the UK charts ^^^

Although, I think most Eminem fans in the UK bought it the week it was released (where it only got to #11 on iTunes originally). Now it's the general public buying the song.

Eminem's fanbase does seem to have decreased since after Smack That. Betweem 2000 and about 2005, pretty much all of Eminem's pre-album singles would go straight to #1. He doesn't do so well now.

[Drug.Ballad]

yeah I brought it first week, and i know what you mean, although people dont tend to buy singles anymore, i know i dont (other than some eminem songs).

LTWYL should have got to number one, must have been very close when he was 2nd for some weeks. I think that stupid world cup song may have been to blame at some point. Hopefully Spacebound reaches number one, needs a good video, and hopefully the last verse wont be censored too much.

I dont think his singles success is worse in the UK. All of his previous #1's here were only for a week. I just think with Not Afraid & Love The Way You Lie he got slightly unlucky to be honest. Not Afraid's chart run was 5-6-5-6-5. Compare that to Like Toy Soldiers which went 1-3-4-12-17 and also Just Lose It which went 1-3-6-7-12. It seems like Not Afraid didnt have 1 big week like some of his previous singles did but insted stayed consistent unlike them and thats the same for Love The Way You Lie which stayed at #2 for 5 weeks.

[Sukot]

Yeah, Love the Way You Lie got beaten to #1 by:

Yolanda Be Cool/DCUP - We No Speak Americano
Flo Rida/David Guetta - Club Can't Handle Me
Roll Deep - Green Light
Taio Cruz - Dynamite

And it was very close the weeks it got beaten by Roll Deep and Flo Rida/David Guetta.

The worst one was the week where it got beaten by Green Light by Roll Deep. I think it's a good song, but it's barely sold over 200,000, whilst Love the Way You Lie is heading for 1,000,000 sales.

Yeah, and Not Afraid is the highest-selling #5 song of 2010 in the UK, I think. Probably because it spent 3 weeks there.

He was unlucky

^^ and those songs are terrible what were people thinking.

What, are you kidding!? We No Speak Americano is LEGENDARY!! Hip hop is better than everything, let's be honest, but at the same time, there's nothing wrong with a catchy dance beat.

Green Light is good aswell. The rapping is DREADFUL. Like seriously, all the rap verses in that song are like 4 lines long, barely any rhyming, and some of the rappers on the song repeat the same lines more than once. A bit ridiculous that it beat Eminem to #1, but at the same time, Green Light is better than most of the #1s in the UK last year, and it has a great beat, and a catchy hook (see: Syllables ).

Here's Green Light for people in the US who don't know the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k2D90QtZeE

Dynamite is really boring though.
