Released in 2010, this album marked a pivotal moment in Eminem’s career, showcasing a more open, vulnerable side of the rapper, and solidifying its significance in hip hop history. The project resonates with dedicated fans and a broader audience beyond the traditional hip hop following.
The album’s success is mirrored in its growing streaming numbers and consistent sales. “Recovery” made a resounding debut at No.1 on the Billboard 200, moving 741,000 copies in its first week. Notably, two of its singles, “Not Afraid” and “Love the Way You Lie,” topped the Billboard Hot 100.
In 2010, “Recovery” claimed the title of the best-selling album worldwide, boasting sales of over 5.7 million copies. Domestically, it secured its place as the best-selling album in the US, with 3.4 million copies sold. The accolades didn’t stop there, as the album earned a Grammy in the Best Rap Album category the following year.
