Eminem best selling artist of the 2000s

[jba1me]

Eminem, who was born 2-1/2 years after the Beatles broke up, is the only artist who has sold more albums in this decade than the fabled foursome. Eminem's new album Relapse sold 608,000 copies this week, lengthening his lead as the artist who has sold the most albums in the 2000s. The rap superstar has sold 31,127,000 albums since the first week of January 2000. In second place: The Beatles, who have sold 27,591,000 albums in the same period. (That's not bad for a group that broke up in 1970.) The Beatles have done better in this decade relative to the competition than they did in the ‘90s, when they were the #5 album-selling act.

1. Eminem, 31,127,000. First charted: 1999. Eminem, 36, is the top male artist and the top rap artist so far in this decade. His 2000 album The Marshall Mathers LP is his best-seller. It has sold 10,178,000 copies.

I don't think he means that there's anything wrong with The Beatles but that he's just suprised.

Well, as am I, the ebatles stopped making albums in like the 70's and still they sold like 28 million this decade!

[AJS2050]

The 31 Million Albums Sold is in the U.S. only,

Higher Than any other artist on the planet for this decade,

This doesn't include "The Slim Shady LP",

In total for this decade he has shifted over 72 Million+ Albums Worldwide, Once again this is without "The Slim Shady LP".

And in total in his career his album sales are 80 Million+ is what i found when adding the worldwide sales of all albums including 8 Mile Road, Curtain Call, Re-Up.

8 mile road & SSLP aint far from 10 Mill worldwide, thats pretty awesome.
