June 19 is a great day to release albums because of the previous superstar albums that have come out on this day. Eminem and Kanye West both released albums on this day in the past six years and saw them become some of the best rap albums we’ve see this decade.
Eminem’s “Recovery” is widely considered to be the best rap album of the decade putting out hit after hit after hit. Singles off the album included “Not Afraid,” “Love the Way You Lie,” “No Love,” and “Space Bound.”
The album would win many award including Grammys, Billboard Music Awards, and American Music Awards. It easily became the best selling album in 2010, selling over 5.5 million albums worldwide.
Three years ago, Kanye West released “Yeezus” and saw it sell over 300,000 copies in its first week! The album would go on to peak at number one on 11 different charts across the globe, producing hits “Black Skinhead” and “Bound 2.”
