Eminem sets digital sales record

Eminem is continuing to make music history again. One year after its official release, his Recovery LP has become the first recording to surpass a million digital sales. Interscope vice president Steve Berman gave following statement:

“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.”

Adds Eminem’s manager Paul Rosenberg:

“We are thrilled to congratulate Eminem on the history-making digital sales success of Recovery. Over the years we’ve made a concerted effort to engage Em’s online fan base so this achievement is especially rewarding. Eminem made an amazing album with Recovery and the fans responded in record numbers.”

This also marks the first time in the last five years an artist has scored two No. 1 albums within a 12-month period.
