On October 3, Eminem appeared once again on Shade 45 with DJ Whoo Kid and announced that Denaun Porter and Just Blaze were very busy working on Relapse 2. On April 13, 2010, Eminem tweeted, "There is no Relapse 2", to his followers. When he tweeted this, people started to believe that he was not releasing an album at all, but it simply meant that the album title would be changed to Recovery. He confirmed this by tweeting, "Recovery", with a link to his website. Eminem said, "I had originally planned for Relapse 2 to come out last year. But as I kept recording and working with new producers, the idea of a sequel to Relapse started to make less and less sense to me, and I wanted to make a completely new album. The music on Recovery came out very different from Relapse, and I think it deserves its own title." His seventh studio album, Recovery, was released on June 21. The first single, "Not Afraid", was released on April 29, and debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Eminem performed at the 2010 BET Awards. He performed "Airplanes Part II" with B.o.B and "Not Afraid". He also performed at the Activison E3 concert.
In the U.S. Recovery sold 741,000 in its first week.
