Apparently he's in negotiations to perform at the Brits, but only if it's guaranteed that he will receive an award.

It's almost becoming unfair. Eminem and his triple-platinum album Recovery show no signs of slowing down. Once again Slim Shady tops the charts for hip-hop and R&B sales as his sixth studio album sold 63,000 more copies.

With no major releases this week, the charts were filled with a lot of familiar names. Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Kanye West and Bruno Mars rounded out the top 5. Hip-Hop-N-More reports that Minaj's Pink Friday has actually been certified platinum.

Top 5 for Hip-Hop & R&B: This week (total)

1. Eminem, Recovery: 63,000 (3,415,000)
2. Rihanna, Loud: 62,000 (752,000)
3. Nicki Minaj, Pink Friday: 61,000 (852,000)
4. Kanye West, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy: 58,000 (882,000)
5. Bruno Mars, Doo-Wops & Hooligans: 45,000 (458,000)

I hope not, Im hoping he releases another song before then..... theyve done that before so lets leave it where it is...

[Smithy]

I don't think that he's planning on releasing another single, :/

Not until the rerelease (If there even is one)

[InOne]

Sick of seeing Rihanna over here, and tbh, think it would be really cringey and corny if they performed together.

He should perform with Dre, get some venom in the performance!

I dont think there will be one, I mean with Detox coming out it's unlikely, unless its very soon. (Could be a collab with Dre from detox maybe??)

[InOne]

How did that song with Lil Wayne do? Not well I'm guessing?

Shady reacts to his Grammy nods, and explains the trio of leaked songs that are most likely the byproduct of a 2009 trip to Hawaii with Dr. Dre.

Eminem’s Recovery is currently ranked as the seventh album on Billboard magazine’s Hot 200, and it’s spent 27 weeks on the chart. Recovery is one of three Em albums occupying space on the Hot 200, as the double-platinum offerings Relapse (184) and Curtain Call: The Hits (155) also continue to chart. Eminem has gone on record many times explaining that he was unsatisfied with the direction Relapse took, going so far as to address it on “Not Afraid.” In a recent interview with Billboard, Em addresses the material he made between 2007 and 2010, which would presumably include recently leaked tracks such as “Syllables,” “Cocaine” and “Difficult.”

“I probably recorded about 15 songs,” Eminem told Billboard, recounting a 2009 trip to Hawaii with Dr. Dre. “And I think the latter half of those, probably about the last three or four felt lik, ‘OK, I’m starting to get back to normal again. This feels more like me now.’”

While Recovery boasts international sales of over 5.6 million, the album has enjoyed critical success too in the form of four Grammy nominations.

“I’m obviously happy with the way that people have received the album,” Em added. “As far as what I’ve accomplished with it, I don’t know. I’m just happy to be here. I’m happy to be able to have a career as long as I’ve had.”

It appears that same happiness could also spread to fans in the UK, as Eminem is reportedly in negotiations to co-headline this year’s V Festival with The Arctic Monkeys. The British tabloid The Daily Star cited an unnamed source while reporting that Rihanna was rumored to join Em for a live version of “Love the Way You Lie,” should he finalize the deal to co-headline the outdoor festival. Lineups for the V Fest are still somewhat fluid, but this year’s festival will take place in Staffordshire, West Midlands, and Essex, East England in August. More information is available at the official V Fest site.
