Eminem Has The Best Selling Album of 2010

Eminem has fully “recovered” with his latest CD which was the best-selling album of 2010.

“Recovery” moved ove 3.4 million units since its June release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. No. 2 on the list is Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now,” which sold about 3.1 million records. “Speak Now,” Taylor Swift’s third CD, which was released in late October, is No. 3, selling about 2.96 million copies.

While Eminem owns last year’s top CD, his Rihanna-assisted “Love the Way You Lie” is No. 3 on the list of top songs. He was beat out by Katy Perry’s smash hit, “California Gurls.” The song features Snoop Dogg and moved 4.4 million tracks in 2010. Train’s “Hey, Soul Sister” is second with 4.3 million sold; the Top 5 includes Taio Cruz’s “Dynamite” and B.o.B’s “Airplanes.”

Justin Bieber’s “My World 2.0″ and Susan Boyle’s “The Gift” round out last year’s Top 5 albums.

Congrats to Eminem and Katy Perry for having such a successful year in 2010.

Eminem is set to open MTV Video Music Awards

Rapper Eminem is set to open the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards which airs on September 12, 2010.

MTV general manager Stephen Friedman said Wednesday that the rapper, who’s nominated for eight trophies and continues to sit atop sales charts with “Recovery,” will open Sunday’s ceremony at the Nokia Theatre, which has been transformed with a sprawling white set reminiscent of the out-of-this-world Theme Building at the Los Angeles International Airport.

“We thought that there’s no better way to kick off the show than a performance from Eminem,” said Friedman.

The enveloping stage design includes a giant rotating billboard, curvy catwalk, circular performance space and two massive video screens that will serve as curtains. VMA executive producer Jesse Ignjatovic said the undulating space, created by German designer Florian Wieder, required about 2,000 orchestra seats to be removed from the Nokia Theatre.

“Every year, we try to have a theme and purpose beyond just giving awards away,” said Ignjatovic. “This year, being back in Los Angeles, we really gravitated toward mid-century modern architecture and the pop culture of the ’50s, like the youth-oriented rebellion films ‘Rebel Without a Cause’ and ‘Wild Ones.’ It’s a very L.A. kind of a set.”

We can’t wait for the show, can you guys?!

Eminem Leads Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart for the third week

Eminem led Billboard’s Hot 100 singles chart for a third week on Thursday, a day after losing his crown on the albums chart.

His track “Love the Way You Lie,” featuring Rihanna, held Katy Perry’s former chart-topper “California Gurls” at No. 2. But Perry’s follow-up, “Teenage Dream,” jumped 13 places to No. 7. Both tunes come from her upcoming album, also called “Teenage Dream,” set for U.S. and Canadian release on August 24.

Eminem’s album, “Recovery,” slipped to No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart on Wednesday, its five-week reign ended by the new Avenged Sevenfold release.

Taio Cruz’s “Dynamite” held at No. 3 on the Hot 100. “Airplanes” by B.o.B, featuring Hayley Williams, was also unchanged, at No. 4. Enrique Iglesias’ “I Like It,” featuring Pitbull, rose one to No. 5.

Mike Posner’s “Cooler Than Me” was also up one, to No. 6, and Travie McCoy’s “Billionaire” fell three to No. 8. Usher claimed the final two spots as “DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love,” featuring Pitbull, jumped three to No. 9, and former chart-topper “OMG” fell two to No. 10.

Sugarland landed the best-ever Billboard Hot 100 entry for a country duo or group as “Stuck Like Glue” claimed the top debut at No. 20. The entry falls just shy of the act’s best overall peak on the list, which occurred when “All I Want to Do” reached No. 18 in July 2008. The track comes from the duo’s fourth studio album “The Incredible Machine,” due October 19.

Also debuting was Kenny Chesney at No. 96 with “The Boys of Fall,” the first single from his upcoming set “Hemingway’s Whiskey,” due September 28. Expect a big Hot 100 jump next week as first-week download sales will figure into the song’s ranking.

Also expected to make a strong debut next week is Taylor Swift with “Mine.” The first single from her upcoming “Speak Now” album went to radio and iTunes on Wednesday. A top-10 Hot debut is likely, with a No. 1 entry not out of the question.

Happy Birthday Eminem, he turns 37 years old today!

You might know him as Marshall Bruce Mathers III, or Slim Shady. I know him as the white boy that raps.
