Eminem's Crack a Bottle Breaks Digital Debut Record
Eminem's Crack a Bottle, with the assistance of Dr. Dre and 50 Cent, establishes a new "Nielsen SoundScan record for opening week download sales" with 418k downloads and a number 1 spot on tomorrow's Hot 100 singles chart:
"The first-week sum outpaces the prior mark of 335,000 downloads shifted by T.I. featuring Rihanna in the Oct. 18, 2008, issue. Among all weekly totals, "Bottle" ranks third behind Flo Rida's "Low" (467,000 on Jan, 12, 2008) and Lady GaGa's "Just Dance" (419,000 on Jan, 10, 2009)."
Apparently Low and Just Dance outperformed after their digital debut weeks.
The combined force of Eminem, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent is a mighty thing. Just what 50 Cent needs to not be calling it a comeback.
