Eminem still has it. After a long hiatus away from music, the rapper returned early this year with a brand new single titled "Crack A Bottle," featuring 50 Cent and Dr. Dre, and it's catching on quick.
According to Billboard.com, the single soars from no. 78 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart to no. 1 this week, setting a Nielsen SoundScan record for opening week download sales with 418,000 sold.
The first-week total beats out the previous record holder of 335,000 downloads by T.I.'s single, featuring Rihanna, "Live Your Life."
Among all weekly totals, "Crack A Bottle" ranks third, behind only Flo Rida's "Low" (467,000 on Jan, 12, 2008 ) and Lady GaGa's "Just Dance" (419,000 on Jan, 10, 2009).
Despite a super-successful career for Em, its just the second Hot 100 no. 1 for the rapper and Dr. Dre. Em's first was 2002's "Lose Yourself," while Dre's came in 1996 as a guest on Blackstreet's "No Diggity."
The track will appear on Eminem's forthcoming solo project, and now, it's expected to be included on 50's forthcoming Before I Self-Destruct as well.
