So... Does that mean that Em is still the one that sold the most units since Outkast was a double album?

by **EminemBase** » May 19th, '13, 11:08

I don't think with double albums... that they should count one sale as two sales, that's stupid.

From one quick look @ the Top 10, I noticed they list one of Will Smith's records wrong. Will Smith - Big Willie Style (1997) was certified 9x platinum in 2000. Complex lists it at 6x platinum, and thus it misses the Top10... It should be #8.

Also... Puff Daddy & The Family - No Way Out (1997) was certified 7x Platinum in 2000, it should be in the Top 15. I can't find it in the top 20?

... They also use shipments and over-the-counter sales interchangeably - yet they are not the same thing.

Complex - quality < quantity.

Want Eminem to be on top he the second greatest all time hip-hop artist after Pac. He deserves to be the top in having the highest selling album ever. Simply because The Eminem Show is superior to every album on there. He is also the greatest rapper/producer combination ever.

Shocking and sad that outkast could do 11 millions, but if they released a new album now, it wouldn't even pass 500k.

Bunch of fucking band wagon jumpers.
