Mitch Findlay from "HotNewHipHop" wrote a similar critics and said: "Revival is, by far, Eminem's most pop-friendly album to date. While previous albums merely flirted with the sound, Revival has bought a ring and proposed to it. Therefore, if you're somebody who finds no pleasure in the production of "pop-rap," you'll find no solace here." He singled out "Framed," "Castle" and "Arose" as highlights, calling the latter two are "among Revival's strongest tracks. Conceptually and lyrically, the closing pair find Eminem in excellent form, and longtime fans will no doubt cite these two as album highlights." About the album reaction, Eminem said: "I think there's things to be taken away from this album and the reaction to it. Were there too many songs? Were there too many features? There were certain songs like "Tragic Endings" and "Need Me" where I felt like lyrically they would give the listener a second to breathe. I spend a lot of time writing shit that I think nobody ever gets." Later he said: "When the "Revival" tracklist came down the pipe, it was like overwhelmingly, 'This shit is going to be trash.' Nobody really wanted to be wrong about it. I'm not saying everybody, but a lot of people had already formed their opinion." He also stated that he is proud of the album, saying: "I'm good with "Revival". Fuck it. Because I couldn't have made this album ["Kamikaze"] without it." "Revival" entered atop the UK Albums Chart with 132,000 album-equivalent units, becoming the year's second largest opening behind Sheeran's "÷" and giving the rapper his eighth consecutive number-one album. As of October 2018, it sold 321,000 album-equivalent units in the UK. "Revival" is also Eminem's eighth consecutive album to top the US "Billboard" 200, where it opened with 197,000 copies among 267,000 album-equivalent units. As a result, Eminem became the first musical act to have eight entries in a row debut at its summit. The next week, "Revival" was replaced at the top spot by Taylor Swift's "Reputation". As of September 23, 2018, "Revival" has sold 392,000 copies in the US. It additionally arrived at number one in Australia, becoming his ninth entry to top the ARIA Albums Chart.
