Set to take the #1 album spot this week with a projection north of 600K units, Eminem graces the cover of the latest Billboard Magazine. In this issue, Eminem talks with Billboard about his approach to recording Recovery:

“I would go back and listen to songs off ‘The Marshall Mathers LP,’ ‘The Eminem Show’ and some of ‘Encore’ and ask, ‘Why don’t my music feel like this anymore?’ ” Eminem recalls. ” ‘The Way I Am,’ ‘Criminal’ and ‘Toy Soldiers’ were songs that meant something. I wanted there to be a reason why I was making each song, instead of making it just to make it.”
