Eminem? I think he sold about 98% of his sales before the digital era. He's just one of those artists who takes forever to get certifications. Recovery had sold 4 million copies but wasn't even certified.
So it's gonna be a bitch to figure out when his 2002 release hit diamond

this bitch
Damn! Selling a milli per month.
Also, isn't this the fastest album to reach 9x Platinum?
This is seriously ****ing incredible. We're never going to see another album sell like this again... EVER. And I feel confident saying that. The fact that she's doing this in this day and age is UNREAL.. she'd probably be at 20 million back in the day when people actually bought albums.
We will, but we need the right artists on the charts. Oh and proper promo and single releases. Adele has proper global singles.
