Dec 28, 2017 It is a sad time to be an Eminem fan. I loved Revival. It has it's flaws but it is f---ing dope. It is close to being a classic if you change up a few things. I at least think so. This isn't rating the album. Anyway, lets predict when this album will go platinum. It obviously will. Just when? I predict it will go platinum near the end of February. In the week ending in Dec 21., the Detroit rapper's latest release moved 267,000 equivalent album units, according to Nielsen Music, with 197,000 being traditional album sales. The chart-topping album marks another achievement for Em, who becomes the first artist to notch eight consecutive No. 1 LPs. If it isn't platinum by June then I f---ing give up...
Dec 28, 2017 Did some high level math and accounted for week over week decrease with a second single increase factored in (I do forecasting for a living) ... it's going to be around July unless there is something else planned that we aren't aware of.
Dec 29, 2017 It won't go platinum before June for sure. I'm thinking last quarter of 2018 if not later
Dec 29, 2017 LOL...why would he triple his sales in the second month? You know that never happens right?
Jan 1, 2018 It is f---ing sad I have to make this thread. I honestly would've NEVER thought Em would fall off commercially. Regardless if he comes back strong with the next album and demolishes sales again. I never would have though that he would fall off commercially for one album regardless of the reason. It is weird. I blame 2017 for being f---ing s---.
Jan 1, 2018 But he hasn't fallen off commercially....he's just not moving the units he used to. That's normal.
