Eminem is getting older, and he may not be on the radio as much as he used to. Slim Shady just released a new album to mixed reviews, although lyrically the titan is as sharp as ever. In the late 90's and early 2000's Eminem was on the radio more than Drake is in 2018, but in today's world of instant gratification and online streaming, Em has slowed his roll. Or maybe, he hasn't.
The Detroit legend became the first rapper ever to move over 100 million song units, with approximately 107.5 million units in total. Eminem has three diamond awarded songs ("Lose Yourself," "Not Afraid," and "Love The Way You Lie") and two diamond selling albums (The Marshall Mathers LP and The Eminem Show). RIAA awards songs and albums that have sold over 10 million copies a "diamond" status. All of Eminem's sales have garnered him over 100 million song awards from the RIAA.
Eminem is number 2 on the list, he sits behind Rihanna who has moved 121 million units. Taylor Swift sits right behind Eminem with 106.5 million units. Drake, Kanye West, and Chris Brown also make the top ten list, with 55 million, 51.5 million, and 50 million units, respectively.
