You have an interesting point ..... but I think with the "back catalog" you were only talking about the US.

because on many other countries outside US and worldwide, generally Britney's catalog is more remembered than Eminem's ...... She has way better points than Eminem on the Mediatraffic chart which makes estimations of performances of singles based on worldwide Sales and Airplay.

besides if you go to the streets on a Country outside the US ... and you ask to random people about past songs , its probable they will easily recognize or feel familiarized about more songs of Britney than Eminem.

Eminem is absolutely 100% a worldwide act......he has more worldwide smashes than Britney in fact. Songs like The Real Slim Shady, Without Me, Lose Yourself, Just Lose It, Love the Way You Lie were hits EVERYWHERE. In fact he's had more hits in a lot of European countries than he's had in America...."Stan" for example flopped in the US but was #1 basically everywhere else. If he bothered to tour he could outgross any Britney tour (and I say this as a Britney fan). Eminem is simply more respected and popular overall.

And Eminem had his last #1 in 2010, Britney hasn't had one since 2008.

Probably because the chart you're trying to use was discontinued between 2008 and Britney's most recent era...

Eminem #1s in Europe:

The Real Slim Shady
Stan
Without Me
Lose Yourself
Just Lose It
Like Toy Soldiers
Smack That
Love the Way You Lie

Britney #1s in Europe:

...Baby One More Time
Oops!...I Did It Again
Lucky
Me Against the Music
Toxic
Womanizer

And Eminem had his last #1 in 2010, Britney hasn't had one since 2008.

So can people just STOP with all this "Eminem isn't famous outside the US" crap. He's probably the most successful artist of the century in Europe behind Shakira.

Eminem of course. He has an Oscar, Lose Yourself is bigger and still more relevant than any Britney song, he can still get massive global hits like LTWYL, his last album sold 7m, he's a global rapper which is not easily done. He wins on every level.
