In the course of three successive weeks, UMG is expected to unleash three superstar releases: Sam Smith (11/3) on Steve Barnett’s Capitol, Big Machine’s Taylor Swift (11/10) and, if the very loud chatter is to be believed, Shady/Aftermath/Interscope’s Eminem (11/17).
Em hasn’t been heard from in a substantive way since 2013’s The Marshall Mathers LP 2, which bowed at #1 with 780k on the HITS Album Sales Chart almost precisely four years before the rap firebrand’s next expected drop date. He reportedly appears on “Revenge,” a track on RCA star P!nk’s set, which drops 10/13.
