Eminem returned to the top spot on the U.S. pop album chart Wednesday after being sidelined for the past two weeks by No. 1 debuts from rock bands Avenged Sevenfold and Arcade Fire.

The Detroit rapper sold 133,000 copies of "Recovery" during the week ended August 15, according to Nielsen SoundScan, enough to end its stint in the runner-up slot.

Total sales for "Recovery" stand at 2.1 million after eight weeks. Only Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now" (2.5 million) has sold more. At this point last year, no albums had surpassed the two-million mark -- though seven had sold at least one million. This year, six albums have hit the million mark.

"Recovery" has also sold at least 100,000 copies each week of its entire chart life.

Eminem has revealed plans to host a rap battle in his hometown of Detroit.

According to AllHipHop.com, the rapper is to present the 'Red Bull EmSee: The Road to 8 Mile National Finals' and will judge the competition to choose the genre's next star.

The eight finalists were chosen from various regional competitions around the country.

The event will be held on August 26 at Detroit's St Andrew's Hall.

Eminem has revealed that he is considering retiring from the music industry.

The rapper, who released his first major label album in 1996, claimed that he will quit hip-hop if his material begins to dip in quality.

"Honestly, I don't know how much longer I have in this game," Metro quotes him as saying.

"Looking back on it now, there was some pretty mediocre things that I was putting out… when I was making Encore, my addiction took on a life of its own.

"I remember going to LA, recording with Dre and being in the studio high, taking too many pills, getting in this slap-happy mood and making songs like 'Big Weenie' and 'Rain Man' and 'Ass Like That'."

He continued: "[Dre] would just laugh. He didn’t understand what was going on. Nobody understood what was going on with me or why I was acting so ******ing goofy."

Eminem added that he believes his fans will decide when he bows out of music.

"The fans might say the s**t is garbage. You don't how long people are going to want you around," he said.

"Realistically, if I don't rap, what the ****** am I going to do? It's too late to just be unfamous right now at this point."

Eminem's latest single 'Love The Way You Lie' is on course to top the UK singles chart this Sunday.

LOL if that was true then he should have retired along time ago.

Real Hip Hop heads have been saying he fell off for years.

Oh these "Real Hip-Hop" fans astound me, where are they i must go and punch them.....

[Scarlett.]

How many times has he retired? lol

[Iceman]

Just the once and it was more of a break he was all over the shop......

[Scarlett.]

lol, I don't think he'll retire, especially not now

[Iceman]

yeah he's returned big time, the more I listen to recovery the more I love it.....

[AfroMullet]

Em fell off along time ago.

Anything after The Marshall Mathers LP (Excluding the 8 Mile Soundtrack and a few tracks off the Eminem Show) has been garbage. Relapse was unlistenable and Recovery had some of the gayest lines ever said in Hip Hop, making a track saying that Lil Wayne and Kanye West would beat you in a battle is not 100 smh.

Well if you think so why are you here telling me? I couldn't care less what you think......the fact is the man is a legend and will keep releasing great material.......but hey I guess "Proper Hip-Hop" fans won't like it.....

[AfroMullet]

LOL, im not telling you, im just stating what i think. If you dicest his music, your find a decrease in quality ever since the Marshall Mathers LP. His flow, multis, punchlines, wordplay and imagery are no where near the standard they once were. You dont have to give a **** what i think, but its true.

Plus he looks more and more reptilian everytime i see him.

[Tom4784]

Eminem retires every other week so I wouldn't take it seriously

[Shaun]

I wish he would...he's so blah nowadays. The only song I've really liked in the past 5 years was Won't Back Down.
