Eminem has released 11 solo albums over the years, 12 if Music To Be Murdered By: Side B is included. The 49-year-old MC continues to sell albums at an alarming rate decades into his career. For example, 2020’s Music To Be Murdered By debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with over 279,000 total album-equivalent units sold in its opening week.
Overall, Marshall Mathers has an estimated worldwide sales of over 220 million records with 10 chart-topping albums, which all consecutively debuted at No 1., making him the first artist to ever do so.
Eminem released Curtain Call: The Hits in 2005, a compilation of the diamond-selling rapper’s biggest songs, including “The Way I Am,” “My Name Is,” “Guilty Conscience” and “Without Me.” As of 2017, it’s the longest-running rap album in Billboard 200 history.
The project follows the release of “From Tha D 2 LBC” featuring Snoop Dogg as well as “The King & I” with CeeLo Green and is expected to arrive on August 5. Pre-order the album here.
