Eminem Becomes 10th Best-Selling Artist Of All Time

Published Wed, September 27, 2023 at 3:00 PM EDT

Eminem has reached yet another big milestone in his storied career – he's now the tenth best-selling artist of all time.

Eminem hit the No. 10 spot with 207,262,000 total sales in his career, according to ChartMasters. The achievement propelled him beyond Led Zeppelin to secure the position—the ranking, which amalgamates album sales, singles sales, and streaming data, is updated daily.

Eminem is the only rapper in the top 40. Drake is the closest contender, at No. 41 with just over 120 million sales, while Kanye West is at No. 61 and 98 million sales and 2Pac follows at No. 73 and 84 million sales. As for the top 10, it's dominated by exactly who you think it'd be — The Beatles at No. 1, Michael Jackson at No. 2, Elvis Presley at No. 3, Queen at No. 4, and Madonna at No. 5.

This isn't the only top spot Eminem holds — he also has the most diamond certifications in Hip-Hop with six, including The Marshall Mathers LP (2000), The Eminem Show (2002), “Lose Yourself” (2002), Curtain Call: The Hits (2005), “Not Afraid” (2010) and “Love the Way You Lie” (2010).
