Eminem and Adele have both made music history by selling the most digital album sales. Eminem was the first music artist to reach one million digital album sales with his album “Recovery” but soon after one week, British sensation Adele surpassed Eminem by becoming the second music artist to sell one million digital album sales with her album “21”.

Adele’s album “21” has sold 2.5 million copies in the U.S. and Eminem’s album “Recovery” has sold 3.9 million copies in the U.S. and counting for both artist. Worldwide sales for Adele’s album has sold 9 million copies and Eminem’s album has sold over 6 million copies. Both artist albums is still climbing the billboard charts and music sales (digital and CD).

It was hard work and determination for Eminem and Adele to make music history.  The music industry is a complicated place to accomplish music sales. For a long time, music was down in sales, mostly because of illegal downloading and etc… However, music still has a long way to go.

Eminem and Adele are bringing music sales back with the new age of music media called “digital”.
