    After more than a week of listens and a refresh of all promotion, singles etc.. i've come up with this thought.

    First: They know what would be successfull out of his album, there are like 7-8 big-hits that would have bumped him up before the drop if only they dropped those ones.
    They chose Walk On Water instead of Like Home or River (which both would have been like 5x platinum right now).
    Then Untouchable :fkcurry: (Great song, i love it, but.. there are songs like Believe or Remind Me that, like these or not, would have charted so well with a good video)
    Then finally River (only audio) same day of release..

    2 "singles" before release without even a video. Then finally they drops Walk On Water video, but why keep promoting that song?

    Em said many times fame brought his most important things off, like family. Maybe he decided to bring out a silent project.

    They could have done interviews, tv appearances in most famous tv shows, more appearances generally and use Mtv Ema and SNL way way way better to promote this album..

    What's your thoughts?

    No. Instead of an intentional flop they just wouldn't have released an album. This makes no sense.

    This makes sense, he's under a label, he has to guarantee a release after a certain time. He's Eminem, so they keep him for 4 years. But usually artists have to release every year-2 years

    Nobody knows the terms of his contract. He said it multiple times that he's at a point where he "doesn't have to release an album", he just wants to.

    Lol no, with a good promo Em would have sold 1 mil first week. River - Remind me - Believe as singles, everyone with a video, before the release. I can't imagine the hype.
    And you can't spell

    Where did he say this? It's obvious he can do whatever he wants, but after 4 years label comes to you just saying to release something

    Nah, belive doesnt have it for a top charting song, otherwise it would atleast be in the spotify top 50

    And even if those songs wouldve been singles, word of mouth would be that the album is still trash, twitter ig etc, once people badmouth the album its a wrap.

    The real problem is eminem beig an insecure b----, the reason he released wow as a single is so everyone can feel bad about him, and gives him the excuse of everyone listening to “sales decline” line before the album flops. Only he comes out after a 4 year hiatus and lets his fans down like this

    The fact he has a beard and looks like s--- nowadays is so bad for him too. Bytches dont like eminem anymore he looks like s---

    I think he wanted to say if Revival's his last album, only him can decide it.
    Your name speaks for itself

    Believe is the most listenend song off Revival, after River. With a good video this could have charted well (better than Untouchable and WoW anyway) and would have brought out an inredible hype for the album

    This is literally the most r-----ed post I've seen here. All those songs are garbage you mentioned. Ed's part on river is the only listenable part. What's your excuse for WOW not selling well with Beyoncé? You know d--- well adding Beyoncé was a desperate attempt to boost the song on charts.

    1 million if they released river first? Lmfao you're a delusional Stan. Like the one poster above said bad music is bad music. This album got what it deserved. Lol at f---ing logic even outselling this piece of s---.

    You're telling me WoW is made for charts? Are u jokin. It doesn't even have a drum, listener can't bump his head nowhere throughout the song lol it's not radio friendly, it's not for anyone beside of fans.

    And River, Believe, Remind are garbage? :hoplease:

    Anyway i said "like these or not" they would have charted well and help the album to sell like h---
