Says Paul Rosenberg:

“We are thrilled to congratulate Eminem on the history-making digital sales success of Recovery. Over the years we’ve made a concerted effort to engage Em’s online fan base so this achievement is especially rewarding.

The fact that he is a late 90's rapper and is still competing with modern day pop stars that are just starting up is crazy.

Congrats Em. You are the Elvis of this generation.

Recovery was priced at $4.99 on Amazon recently, I wonder how much that helped. I doubt too much since it's a year later and all...

this should make em wanna do 2 more albums, plus a d12 album and another re up album,

Adele, in her 20th week on the chart, will surpass the 1m digital album mark this week becoming only the second artist, and fastest, to reach that milestone.

If Recovery wasn't going for $4.99, Adele would have reached the record before Em

Adele has now the album with most digital copies sold.

Just one week after Eminem became the first artist ever to sell one million downloads on an album with 'Recovery' Adele has beaten his record.

'21' by Adele also now holds the record for fastest selling digital album as it was released well after the Eminem 'Recovery' album.

Adele '21' has also sold 1.5 million CDs giving it a grand tally of 2.5 million units sold and making it the biggest selling album of 2011 so far.

The single 'Rolling In The Deep' has also sold over 4 million tracks.

Worldwide sales for '21' are over 9 million. The album has also spent more time at number 1 in the USA for any UK artist.
