#Eminem recovery album sales download
In May the NPD Group, a market-research company, said in a report that while iTunes’ share of the download market had remained flat for more than a year, at about 70 percent, Amazon’s had grown to 12 percent, from 8 percent.Īmazon declined to comment on its pricing policies. Those losses may be helping to raise Amazon’s long-term profile as a digital music seller. News of the accomplishment bounced around the Internet on Tuesday night after another Merge band, Spoon, took to Twitter with team-spirit congratulations: “Let the record reflect,” the message said, “that Merge Records is the NUMBER ONE LABEL IN THE USA!” 1 is a first for the band as well as for its American record label, Merge, a small but well-regarded independent based in Durham, N.C. Last week Amazon sold digital downloads of the album for $3.99, while iTunes and other digital stores had it at $9.99. But perhaps just as important was a steep discount by a decidedly non-indie retailer. Rave reviews for “The Suburbs” and two sold-out shows last week at Madison Square Garden one filmed for a live Webcast by Terry Gilliam no doubt helped the Arcade Fire reach the top. 2 in its seventh week, with 152,000 sales.
“The Suburbs,” released last week, has sold 156,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan Eminem’s “Recovery” (Aftermath/Interscope), which spent its first five weeks of release at No. “The Suburbs,” the new album by the Arcade Fire, the accordion- and strings-loving Montreal band that has been indie-rock royalty since it emerged in 2004, edged out Eminem’s latest blockbuster for the top spot on Billboard’s album chart.
