Eminem’s fourth studio album has achieved a monumental milestone, surpassing 40 million units sold worldwide, according to estimations by Chartmasters.org. Released in 2002, the album became an instant hit. It since has demonstrated enduring appeal that has made it the best-selling hip hop album of all time and a cornerstone of Eminem’s career.
The breakdown of its staggering sales includes over 23 million studio album-equivalent units, 2.8 million units from physical album copies, 900,000 units from physical singles, over 3 million digital single sales, and an impressive 10.2 million units from streaming.
