Eminem - Revival - December 15th - Tracklist Revealed

[Brother Leon]

Monster was always going to sell the best lol. It's poor though.

[reece(:]

Monster is the best song on the album >

[Iceman]

Been playing this all day...have to say im really liking it a lot... an see it will have far more replay value and songs for the die hard stans who I believe he made the album for...the whole stan pt2 is amazing

[Stu]

Bad Guy is intense. I love it.

And yeah Monster sticks out like a sore needle.

[Urban Cragou]

Holy **** what an album. Its exceeded my expectations. Its up there with mmlp1 for me. Bad Guy is by far and away my favorite amd the Nate Reuss feature is outstanding. Headlights made me cry such a raw and honest song.

Absolutely and it's a massive improvement on his lacklustre Recovery a few years back.

[Iceman]

Headlights sticks out as a single to me....that second verse just being so open and raw....its the one that gives me goosebumps everytime...

Aw im just so happy its not recovery 2.0

If he calls it a day ill be sad but at least he'd go out on a high....

[Iceman]

Also thers been a lot of stuff to update but I just havent had the time... I will tomorrow... tours and interviews etc...

[Iceman]

Last post for the night. Nathan (Em's brother) has tweeted that this is Eminem's final album.

He has 1 more on his deal with Interscope....greatest hits???

[Iceman]

Oh nvm he's trolling. ... wanker

[Brother Leon]

:joker:

Iceman be taking no **** in the Eminem thread :worship:

[Iceman]

Deluxe leaked.....havent got time to listen yet...but yeah judging from what ive read the 5 songs compliment the standard very well

[Iceman]

He's dominating the US itunes. Monster been #1 for 3 days and the other 3 are top 10...

#blondesdoitbetter

[Me. I Am Salman]

#rihannasimpact

[Iceman]

#no1curr #allaboutalbumsales #millfirstweek #unnecessaryhashtags #reallycantstop

[Iceman]

Im just ripping the piss by the way...I dont mind what he does to get sales...he provided enough on MMLP2 to keep me happy

[MeMyselfAndI]

Hes blocked 1D from getting #1 this week, 1D fans are hating on him :laugh:

[Iceman]

We can all be happy for once then haha.

[Stu]

No better a figure to block them really, it's just perfect :laugh:.

[Iceman]

Wouldnt have happened with his brown hair.... im telling you its the blonde. .. I really do rate this album highly....im so happy though... tis the little things in life....and the alcohol....im rambling now....goodnight ha

[Iceman]

Hes the music guest on SNL tonight

[Iceman]

They both get their 7th number 1. Poor directioners having to settle for 4th :spin:

[Brother Leon]

Still not over how poor this is compared to the rest of the album.

[Iceman]

actually his 8th #1. Now tied with Oasis and the rolling stones. Also his first #1 since 2004 as a lead artist....

[The Human Santapede]

I actually like this, much better than some of the **** he's been releasing of late.

[Iceman]

SNL performances were good but he just performed Rap God live at the YT awards....****ing outstanding....never thought id hear that live....oh and he won something too but idk what it was

[Iceman]

Rolling Stone:
"MM LP 2 fits in well in the year of Yeezus and Magna Carta... Holy Grail, records by ageing geniuses trying to figure out what the hell to do with their dad-ass selves. (It's like hip-hop is the new Wilco or something.) Since Em has always been a mess, he'll probably still be able to give us pause when he's rhyming about retirement ventures through dentures and cleaning out the colostomy bag he wears up inside his saggy drawers. MM LP 3, 2026. Let's do this."

Rating: 4/5

USA Today:
"Eminem is at his best when he's at his worst: tasteless, immature, psychotic, incensed. Not the most attractive traits in a 41-year-old father, perhaps. But it works for pop music's antihero poet."

Rating: 3.5/4

Spin:
"This album will never top MM1 or even 1999's Slim Shady LP for the visceral thrill of watching a celebrity twist and distort his own identity like a comic strip transferred onto Silly Putty. But we get rhymes. So many rhymes. More rhymes than some rappers manage in a whole career. It was only 13 years ago when he was just rap's Great White Asshole. He's already been the lead actor. He deserves to play the stuntman for a while."

Rating: 8/10

NME:
"It's been three years since Eminem's last outing, in which time rap has seen a seismic shift towards trap rumbles, woozy echoes and, in the case of fashionistas A$AP Rocky and Kanye, rhymes about cat walks - a world apart from the Detroit emcee as we last saw him in 2010 around Recovery"

Rating: 6/10

New York Daily News:
"The album offers a resounding return to the gory comedy and free embrace of psychosis that first made Em the antihero of our age. It's his funniest album in years, as well as his fastest, verbally. The speed rap in 'Rap God' alone could make every other emcee tie their tongue in shame."

Rating: 4/5

Vice:
"No other rap album this year has managed to continually surprise in the way that the Marshall Mathers LP 2 does. I don't think my jaw closed for a high majority listening through this album, consistently finding myself laughing out loud, pleased, shocked, and at times, emotional."

Rating: Positive

Digital Spy:
"The Marshall Mathers LP 2 is just as offensive, funny, bleak as its forebear, but - aside from the questionable guest stars and those derogatory comments - Eminem is brooding, in form and the rest should start taking notes again."

Rating: 4/5

[Iceman]

You've made it clear again and again that you don't actually have a problem with gay people. So why, in 2013, use "******" on that song? Why use "gay-looking" as an insult?

I don't know how to say this without saying it how I've said it a million times. But that word, those kind of words, when I came up battle-rappin' or whatever, I never really equated those words . . .

To actually mean "homosexual"?

Yeah. It was more like calling someone a bitch or a punk or asshole. So that word was just thrown around so freely back then. It goes back to that battle, back and forth in my head, of wanting to feel free to say what I want to say, and then [worrying about] what may or may not affect people. And, not saying it's wrong or it's right, but at this point in my career – man, I say so much **** that's tongue-in-cheek. I poke fun at other people, myself. But the real me sitting here right now talking to you has no issues with gay, straight, transgender, at all. I'm glad we live in a time where it's really starting to feel like people can live their lives and express themselves. And I don't know how else to say this, I still look at myself the same way that I did when I was battling and broke.

I kind of thought you were doing it because when you're rapping as Slim Shady, part of your mission is to annoy people.

Well, look, I've been doing this **** for, what, 14 years now? And I think people know my personal stance on things and the personas that I create in my music. And if someone doesn't understand that by now, I don't think there's anything I can do to change their mind about it.

[Iceman]

Metacritic currently has it tied with MMLP1 haha. Not sure how that site works but I imagine itll drop a bit

[smeagol]

sellout title quite surprised really.. haven't heard it yet prefer encore myself anyway .

[Me. I Am Salman]

Metacritic currently has it tied with MMLP1 haha. Not sure how that site works but I imagine itll drop a bit

Yeah it will, I remember Unapologetic went down by like 10 points once all the reviews came in

[Scarlett.]

Listening to this album for the first time, I'm really enjoying it, I did like Relapse and Recovery, but this is more akin to classic Eminem, which is fantastic.

[Iceman]

Just listened to the deluxe songs.... the Sia collab is great and destruction caught my eye too. Also a new song for the COD game later.

[michael21]

i like the song where he get a letter from a fan who drove of a bridges

[Iceman]

21 songs on the digital chart lol. Looks so weird

[Iceman]

I actually cant believe all the promo for this album. Youtube awards. Saturday night live. 4 videos ao far. Rolling stone interview. Shade45 interview. Complex magazine interview. Numerous other interviews. Hes gonna be on the french show journal next week. Possible EMA's. Jonathan Ross interview. He will be on Rap City tomorrow and doing a freestyle... oh and the COD promo.... for recovery we waited 5 months for a video lol.

[Iceman]

Oh and theres a q&a with fans tomorrow in which a Monster video is hinted at... havent got a reliable source or that though

[Scarlett.]

I love the Stan references in Bad Guy :D

[Iceman]

I really want a video for bad guy and headlights....loving this more with each listen. .. rhyme or reason is growing on me too

[Iceman]

Need a video for the YT plays...

[Shaun]

I watched SNL earlier, he was quite good. Still seems really grumpy though :laugh: (with the curtain call they do at the end, he was basically staring at the screen, but he did hug a couple of people)

[Shaun]

also pitchfork gave him a 4.5 but i think they hate him anyway

[Iceman]

I tend to stick to rap or hip hop sites for reviews...like im quite happy with the boston globes one though haha. You should check out the Rap God performance from the YT Awards though.... GOAT Performance

[Shaun]

yeah, I gave them a miss because I thought they'd go hard on the whole Gangnam Style, Bieber, WHATEVER GOT A BILLION VIEWS GETS A MENTION front but it seemed quite decent in the end. Will do

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I like Eminem. He's always amazing. Love 8Mile. :love:

[Scarlett.]

I tend to stick to rap or hip hop sites for reviews...like im quite happy with the boston globes one though haha. You should check out the Rap God performance from the YT Awards though.... GOAT Performance

The fast rap bit was out of this world :shocked:

I love the rythmn of 'Rhyme & Reason'

[Iceman]

And the fact he did it live and it sounded great...im happy now if I dont get anymore promo for this album. He's come back once again and fired shots at every rapper who released an album this year (kanye. Jayz. Drake. Lil wayne. Frank ocean. Now they need to respond...

Love the third verse in rhyme or reason where he saus 'slim' instead of marshall...

[Roy Mars III]

Rap God is the best rap song in the past two years.

That youtube perform was amazing

[King Gizzard]

B-UKP4PuGZE

[Iceman]

He's done a ****load of promo the past two days...ill do a roundup tomorrow

[Iceman]

Eminem has done something no artist has done in nearly 50 years.

He has scored four simultaneous hits in Billboard's Hot 100's Top 20 -- all as a lead artist. The last music act to have done that was the Beatles in 1964. Eminem's "Monster" is at No. 3, while "Berzerk," "Survival" and "Rap God" currently rank at 15, 16 and 17, respectively

Why be a king? When you can be a GOD!

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Amazing! :amazed::worship::cheer2:

[Iceman]

This era has been truely fantastic. Comercially and critically its been spot on.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Did Taylor Swift's not count? All 15 of her album tracks were in the top 40 on itunes, and 10 were in the top 20 for a few days.

[Iceman]

No this is billboards official release when they include the itunes sales......wow I actually cant elieve he's achieved something that monumental...

[MeMyselfAndI]

Oh, I don't really get how US Chats work as it's not all done on sales is it?
This is what it was like for Taylor, but it improved much more than this and stayed like this for many days, as they were all increasing and there were 2 versions of many of the songs.

http://i.imgur.com/L4W08.png

[Iceman]

Its done through everything now yeah. Those 4 songs were top 10 all week without moving...I reckon Taylors were swapping around....

[Brother Leon]

Hail the Music God :worship:

[Me. I Am Salman]

I'm sorry but he's to a music god at at all, it's only his old stuff that's amazing, he's trash now. But well done

[Brother Leon]

I'm sorry but he's to a music god at at all, it's only his old stuff that's amazing, he's trash now. But well done

Even his weakest release would still be considered better than Rihanna's best.


Pls confirm a.s.a.p.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Brother Leon does make me laugh.

[Iceman]

Oh whats your problem...hes the most successful rapper of all time...ever.. hes still breaking records into his 40's... still getting critically acclaimed albums...if youd have bothered to read the reviews he's being compared to his first career... I dont get your hate...

[Jake.]

Can we not go down the Rihanna route, we'll be here all ****ing night

[Jake.]

And congrats :worship:

[GiRTh]

Well done. He deserves it.

[Drew.]

Although i'v not really been as much of a fan of his more recent music than his old he still remains the boss

[Me. I Am Salman]

Oh whats your problem...hes the most successful rapper of all time...ever.. hes still breaking records into his 40's... still getting critically acclaimed albums...if youd have bothered to read the reviews he's being compared to his first career... I dont get your hate...

I just don't like his new stuff, it's just my opinion :shrug: I'm not hating on him for no reason, as I said before I love his first few albums

[The Human Santapede]

I'm sorry but he's to a music god at at all, it's only his old stuff that's amazing, he's trash now. But well done

I have to agree with you here. :shocked:

I do prefer his first couple of albums to most of the stuff he does now.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I prefer his old stuff, but i like his new music as well. I would still buy it. :love:

[Iceman]

Back on topic... what an achievement. #GOAT

[Jake.]

I still don't know what GOAT is

[Drew.]

greatest of all time

[Iceman]

Predicted salea of 700-750 k which will be on par with recovery... would have preffered nearer the million mark but ya cant win them alll maybe with MMLP3 :P

[Jake.]

Ah thank you, that's been bugging me for the past year

[Iceman]

Im not literally saying that before a I get bombarded with hate... its a rap thing.

[smeagol]

nice but it doesn't take much these days to get in the top 20. beatles probably sold a million of each single. whats it now probably about 20 thousand , but still good to see

i got to get his album. but my stereo is broken.which is putting me off.

[Iceman]

I get what you're saying but if thats the case why has only Eminem done it in the pasr 50 years?? Must be a difficult enough milestone to reach.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Monster has also set another record for Rihanna omfg #histoRIH

Perhaps lost in yesterday's bevy of chart feats by Eminem, who this week becomes the first lead artist to land four concurrent top 20 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 since the Beatles in 1964, is that Rihanna tallies her 25th top 10, matching the sum totaled by Elvis Presley.

Thus, "The Monster" is proving aptly titled, as its debut at No. 3 has surfaced narratives between Eminem and the Beatles and Rihanna and the King of Rock and Roll.

Upon the collaboration's bow, here's an updated look at the acts with the most Hot 100 top 10s:

38 -- Madonna
34 -- the Beatles
28 -- Michael Jackson
28 -- Stevie Wonder
27 -- Mariah Carey
27 -- Janet Jackson
27 -- Elton John
25 -- Elvis Presley
25 -- Rihanna
23 -- Whitney Houston
23 -- the Rolling Stones

Of course, the usual caveat when it comes to Presley's history: his career predates the Hot 100 by two years. Prior to the chart's Aug, 4, 1958, he tallied 12 top 10s on Hot 100 predecessor pop charts, so his total would be considerably higher had the list existed upon his landmark arrival.

Not only does Rihanna log her milestone 25th Hot 100 top 10, but she also earns the honor of being the fastest among women, besting Madonna by four months. "The Monster" ranks in the top tier just eight years and four months after her first such hit, "Pon De Replay," in 2005. That just tops the eight-year, seven-month span for Madonna from her first week in the top 10 with "Borderline" (June 16, 1984) and her 25th, the No. 7-peaking "Deeper and Deeper," which reached the region the week of Jan. 16, 1993.

Rihanna tallies her 25th top 10 the second-most quickly among all acts. The Beatles needed just four years between 1964's "I Want to Hold Your Hand" -- one of the titles that gave the Fab Four a record six songs in the top 20 simultaneously that year -- and 1968's "Lady Madonna" (just to tie together the Beatles and Madonna a little more).

"The Monster" is additionally Rihanna's 45th Hot 100 entry, tying her with the output of her Island Def Jam labelmate Carey. Here's an updated look at the women with the most Hot 100 visits:

73 -- Aretha Franklin
59 -- Taylor Swift
56 -- Madonna
56 -- Dionne Warwick
53 -- Connie Francis
48 -- Brenda Lee
48 -- Nicki Minaj
45 -- Mariah Carey
45 -- Rihanna
42 -- Miley Cyrus
41 -- Barbra Streisand
40 -- Mary J. Blige
40 -- Diana Ross



Thanks Em

[Brother Leon]

Drake sold around 650k and he is supposed to be the "hottest thing" in Hip Hop atm..he's pretty much a popstar really, so those numbers are still solid. Will give him the 2nd highest debut of the year behind JT.

[smeagol]

i dont mind rihanna but she is the macdonalds of music . easy to break history now and will just get easier and easier unfortuantly ,

[smeagol]

thats actually pretty good for first sales at the moment. i suspect he will only do 2 mill and take a drop from encores stats. but every artist is the same. albums just dont sell like they used to.
a million is considered good now so 750 already is good

[Me. I Am Salman]

Nonsense, SOS was an EDM track ahead of its time, she's innovative

[Iceman]

I reckon it could do 2 million by end of the year...depends on second week sales and the continuing promo...

[Stu]

SOS is a great track but it's nowhere near being innovative and doesn't particularly forecast EDM in a particularly stand out way. It's just a souped up Tainted Love.

EDM itself isn't particularly innovative. It's just trance soundsets from the wave of Roland JP-8000 driven dance from the late 90's, retooled to fit pop melody and structure more with the mid ranges amped up to radio friendly insanity.

EDM is just an American invention as well. The term is retarded. We just always called it electronic over here. Dance. House. 'EDM' is a new tag so it makes it sound like a new thing but it's not.

[Iceman]

He just did a facebook chat.... main points: the question he hates most is when he is going to retire...he considered dido for bad guy but didnt want to ruin the surprise. .. he likes pizza and his favorite tv show is the wire haha

[Roy Mars III]

Besides Rap God he has not anything truly great in a while.

When you start doing songs with that harlot Rihanna you know you fell off

[Brother Leon]

The Wire?

Yeah. Em is officially a genius :laugh:

[lostalex]

Barilla Pasta, Russia, and Eminem are my gay boycotts currently. **** him.

[Iceman]

Lol good for you.

[lostalex]

Lol good for you.

thank you for your support. don't be offended if i forget how supportive you have been.

[Iceman]

The Guardian Review 10/10

What's the point of Eminem in middle age? He was a peroxide phenomenon in his 20s, an icon of adolescent posturing, the go-to guy for Christina Aguilera insults and casual homophobia, but in 2013, rap is trap and money and molly. Who needs a 41-year-old spitting another revenge fantasy about his mother over plangent piano? With this sequel to his blockbuster third album, however, the rapper has created a work that bears comparison. Not necessarily because it's full of hits – though Rap God, Survival, Rhyme or Reason and Love Game all could be – but because Eminem has engaged with his age and others' scepticism, decided he doesn't give a **** and asserted himself again. There is confidence and maturity here; introspection and regret are balanced with a clear idea of his place in rap's history. His flows are exceptional (Rap God contains an unbelievable feat of double-time rhyming) and the wordplay dazzling. The jokes, in places offensive, are relentless and ribald. There is no apology, though, no concession; just a considered, virtuoso application of talent.

[Iceman]

Eminem has landed his seventh UK number one album with The Marshall Mathers LP 2.

The rapper becomes the first American to score seven consecutive number one albums in the UK, equalling the feat achieved by The Beatles. Led Zeppelin and ABBA hold the overall record with eight number ones.

Eminem has breezed to the top of the US album chart with his latest release.

The rapper's new collection The Marshall Mathers LP 2 topped the Billboard 200 chart with first week sales of 792,000 copies.

The album claims the second-highest first-week sales in the US so far this year, following Justin Timberlake's mammoth sales of 968k copies of The 20/20 Experience back in March, reports Billboard.

The Marshall Mathers LP 2 marks Eminem's seventh consecutive number one album in the US. Only his 1999 debut album The Slim Shady LP has missed the top spot, peaking at number two.

Eminem's latest album also scored bigger first-week sales than his previous effort Recovery, which started with 741,000 copies in 2010.

Meanwhile, The Marshall Mathers LP 2 topped the UK chart this past weekend, scoring first-week sales of 143,000 copies


792....I dont think theres any big releases coming this week that will match that???? :spin:

[Iceman]

[Iceman]

The Monster climbed to number 2 in the US this week too...

#RapGod

[Iceman]

For the second week running Eminem does the chart double in Ireland....The Monster is #1 & MMLP2 is #1

[Iceman]

His small UK promo tour begins tomorrow. 1 performance and a couple of interviews....then onto Germany...

[Iceman]

As midweek chart reports indicated, it was a tough battle for the top spot in the ARIA Albums listings this week. And, US hip hop star Eminem held off all newcomers, The Marshall Mathers LP 2 keeping the number one position for a second week.

The closest challenge came from fellow US performer Lady Gaga who sent her Artpop album in at number two. But locals Illy and Paul Kelly managed top five positions with their new releases. Melbourne hip hopper Illy placed his Cinematic set in at four (his highest charting album to date) while Paul Kelly's live recording of his collaborative tour with Neil Finn, Goin' Your Way, came in at five. The DVD format of the Kelly & Finn live set has entered the Music DVD Chart at number one though, managing to dislodge DVD mammoth Andre Rieu from the top.

Also #1 single too....

[Iceman]

Huge rumours that he will re-marry Kim for the third time in the new year...

I thought he was ****ing skylar....

[reece(:]

Lil Kim?

[Brother Leon]

Was this Gaga's first or 2nd week?

[Iceman]

No Kim Scott.

Her first week.

[Brother Leon]

Wow :laugh:

[Iceman]

I know its quite astounding really...

[Saph]

Lil Kim?

:joker:

[Iceman]

He just announced he has no plans to retire :)

He also performed 4 songs. ..ill post later

[Brother Leon]

I know they say retire on top, but he must of looked at his numbers and thought....."Yeah. Another album could be good" :joker:

[Iceman]

Yeah especially after having the 2nd biggest sales in a year where virtually anyone who has any relevance released an album...

[Iceman]

SSLP 2 2015.... im calling it haha

[Iceman]

70% in for second week sales 140k

[Samuel.]

Late but this is surprisingly good

Brainless reminds me of old Em so much. I wish there were more tracks of that caliber and style on this.

[Brother Leon]

[Iceman]

[Shaun]

I really wasn't expecting it LOL, I just saw it on the tracklist like "oh this is going to be Lighters isn't it" (light theme, feat. a popular male singer atm)

I like the album. Best since the Eminem Show :love: maybe better than that

[Iceman]

Yeah its far superior to previous releases...imagine this had of been his comeback album in 2009...it would ve been awesome...

[Iceman]

3rd week and still in the top 2 in the UK...doing better than some others this year

[Iceman]

Oh and the monster is still top 5 without a video or promo...

[Iceman]

[Iceman]

MMLP2 sells another 40k to stay at #4.

All about longevity. ...

[Iceman]

Also been voted the best two songs to work out to...Till i Collapse and Lose Yourself....

[Iceman]

Eminem and Busta Rhymes are about to change the course of hip-hop history, according to producer Scoop DeVille.

The legendary emcees' upcoming collaboration, entitled "Calm Down," may shake the ground of rap in a similar way that Kendrick Lamar's "Control" verse recently did, according to DeVille:

"That's the next record that's going to, I'd say, destroy the streets of New York and hip-hop in a lot of ways," the producer told HotNewHipHop.com. "That record is something that we've been putting together for a minute. It's not just like an overnight thing. We've been trying to make this THE record to bring back Busta in a major way."

He continued:
"Not only are you going to get the song, you're going to get a video, you're going to get the old Buss, old Em, and it's like six minutes of just rhyming - 64 bars [Busta], 60 bars Em - just destroying it, it's insane."

DeVille also claimed that Rhymes was forced to redo his verse after Eminem "blacked-out" upon receiving the track, which will debut on Busta's upcoming Extinction Level Event 2 album.

In an earlier interview with XXL magazine, Rhymes said that the record will be unlike anything fans have heard from either rapper.

"I've got a six-minute record with Eminem that sounds like we are respectfully trying to battle each other in a way that you probably never heard us battle in our entire careers on a record. So it's lot of real incredibly golden moments for us on this project."
Rhymes' album is currently scheduled for a late 2014 release date.

Eminem is riding high off on the success of his latest album, The Marshall Mathers LP 2, which hit platinum status and even snagged the best-selling album title in Canada for 2013. With MMLP2, the Detroit rapper has seven number one albums to his name, with the only miss being Curtain Call: The Hits, which peaked at number two.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Eminem is the only rapper i like. I have the Marshal Mathers lp. It's one of the best albums ever.

[Iceman]

A week later than I predicted but nonetheless:


You'll have to forgive Eminem if he's "beginning to feel like a 'Rap God.'"

"The Marshall Mathers LP 2" sold an additional 13,000 copies for the week ending March 16, according to Nielsen SoundScan, pushing it beyond two million total sales. The milestone continues the rapper's trend of moving more than two million units of each of his albums, per Billboard.

Eminem simultaneously hit another mark that should garner some bragging rights. His total sales across all albums now sits at 44.91 million, overtaking country musician George Strait's 44.89 million to become the second-best-selling male artist. However, it is important to note that Strait's career predates the inception of SoundScan data.

Garth Brooks is the top selling artist of the era, regardless of gender.

Among all artists in that nearly 23-year span, Eminem is in sixth place, dropping Strait to No. 7. Brooks is on top with 69.52 million. The Beatles are second (65.55 million) and Metallica third (54.26 million), while Mariah Carey sits in fourth (54.24 million) and Celine Dion (52.21 million) rounds out the top five.

Also during the rapper's busy record-breaking week, Eminem landed his 50th Billboard Hot 100 hit, as "Headlights," featuring fun's Nate Ruess, debuted at No. 86. The chart entry crowns as the seventh rapper to tally at least 50 Hot 100 chart entries.

Lil Wayne leads all emcees (and all solo artists of any kind, actually) with 121 songs, followed by Jay Z (82), Drake (69), Kanye West (61), Ludacris (54) and T.I. (53).
