Eminem’s “Recovery” this week has become the first album to sell 1 million digital downloads in the U.S., the rapper’s label, Interscope Records, announced Tuesday. That's about 25% of the collection's U.S. sales total, which is nearing 4-million copies since its release last year, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

The achievement comes just a week after Eminem returned to the No. 1 slot on the national sales chart with his collaboration with rapper Royce da 5’9”, “Bad Meets Evil,” giving Eminem his second No. 1 album within 12 months.

“Over the years we've made a concerted effort to engage Em's online fan base,” the rapper’s manager, Paul Rosenberg, said in a statement, “so this achievement is especially rewarding. Eminem made an amazing album with ‘Recovery’ and the fans responded in record numbers.”

“Recovery” gave Eminem his sixth No. 1 album, and it yielded two Grammy Awards, for rap album and rap solo performance. He is making only a handful of concert appearances in 2011, most recently at the Bonnaroo Music Festival in Tennessee on June 11. Other tour dates are noted on his website.

The digital milestone for an album was reached 5 1/2 years after Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl” became the first single to pass the 1-million mark for paid digital downloads in 2005.

Eminem has become the first artist in the US to sell over one million digital albums.

The 'No Love' rapper broke the record with his latest album Recovery, which was released in June 2010.

The album's digital sales currently stand at 1,001,000 copies, while combined sales with the physical edition equal 3.9 million, according to Billboard.

Interscope Records vice-chairman Steve Berman commented: "Recovery selling one million digital albums is an incredible achievement by an incredible artist. I have had the pleasure of working with Eminem throughout the course of his career, and I'm delighted to be a part of yet another milestone on his amazing journey."

Adele is also on course to become the first British artist to sell over one million digital copies of a single album with her second record 21.

The 'Set Fire To The Rain' songstress is expected to pass the sales milestone next week, with her sophomore effort still riding high on the Billboard 200 chart.

Eminem recently faced criticism regarding his new music video for Recovery single 'Space Bound', in which he depicts a man with a split personality committing suicide.

Along with Dre, Skylar has Eminem to thank for her continued success, even going to bat for her when she penned the hook to "I Need a Doctor" and the label attempted to swap her vocals for Lady Gaga's. "Somebody in the room suggested we get Lady Gaga to sing the hook on 'I Need a Doctor' and [Eminem] stood up for me and said no, because he wanted to keep my voice on the song," she says. "That was a big thing for me because had I not kept my voice on 'I Need a Doctor,' who knows where I'd be right now." She continues, "After the Grammy Awards performance of that song, alot of things changed for me. It really changed my life. It provided a great platform for me, and I'm forever grateful for Eminem and Dr. Dre." Skylar revealed that she had 6500 more Twitter followers in the immediate minutes that followed that fateful Grammy performance.

Eminem was crowned today as Rolling Stone magazine’s King of Hip-Hop, after a data-heavy look at rap's most successful artists.

First the facts: Rolling Stone compiled info gathered from 2009 through the first seven months of 2011. The magazine ranked 20 solo rappers, including Drake, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Rick Ross, Snoop Dogg and more. The publication looked at album sales, social media presence, YouTube page views, concert grosses, industry awards, critics' ratings and more.

Em, who was the world’s best-selling musical artist of the first decade of the 2000s with more than 32 million albums sold, had 7.5 million in album sales during the period Rolling Stone examined, more than 1.3 billion YouTube views and 48 million Twitter and Facebook followers. That was enough to land him ahead of Lil Wayne (No. 2) and Drake (No. 3), though Rolling Stone cited Drake as the artist to watch in the year ahead.

The mag had this to say about the Detroit-based Eminem: “As recently as three years ago, Eminem winning a survey like this was unthinkable; his nearly half-decade hiatus from recording made any comeback unlikely, let alone one in which he took back the charts as if he’d never left.”

Eminem has reportedly earned over Ł2 million ($3.3m) from his slots at last weekend's V Festival.

The rapper played both nights of the two-day event, including a 90-minute headlining set on Sunday evening on the main stage in Chelmsford, where he was joined by Rihanna.

Eminem banked Ł1million ($1.65m) for each of two shows, according to The Sun, with Rihanna picking up "around Ł500,000" ($823,236) for each of her two nights.

The Recovery star is said to have booked the gig purposely as he could make more money than if he had performed a proper stadium show.

"Eminem is a smart guy. Him and his management know they'll make cash quicker and without the hassle of organising and promoting gigs. He has few overheads. He only needs roadies and a DJ," a source told the paper.

The musician was recently named the 'King of Hip-Hop' by Rolling Stone magazine.

Obie Trice is back and he’s working with a familiar collaborator.

O. Trice confirmed to XXLMag.com that Eminem will be featured on at least two songs off of his upcoming Bottoms Up album, which will hit stores in January 2012 on his own Black Market Entertainment label.

“It could be more [than two Eminem-featured songs],” Trice told XXL on Tuesday, the same day his first single, “Battle Cry” hit iTunes.

One of the features is titled, “No Turning Back,” and according to Obie, Eminem and Dr. Dre also have production credits on his album, proving that there’s plenty of love between Em and his former Shady Records signee.

Having recorded songs with Em in the past, Obie knows they form a great one-two punch for Detroit. Just like another Motor City team– Eminem and Royce da 5’9.

“I think they’re making a great duo together,” said Trice, speaking on Em and Royce’s Hell: The Sequel EP which dropped in June. “The chemistry between Royce and Em is dope.”

And Obie’s take on his own Bottoms Up LP?

“I think it’s a great album,” he said. “I’m older, I’m real excited.”

We’ll drink to that. –Mark Lelinwalla

always liked their work....more so than em's work with D12
