Eminem’s The Eminem Show is still racking up wins! Over two decades since its May 26, 2002 drop, the album just snagged a 9x Platinum certification in Denmark, per IFPI Denmark’s latest update. That’s 180,000 units moved in a country of under 6 million—proof Shady’s staying power is unreal.
A Global Monster
Back in ’02, The Eminem Show was the hype of the year. It stormed the Billboard 200 at No. 1, holding the crown for six weeks and selling 1.3 million copies in its first full U.S. week. It ended up the best-selling album of 2002 worldwide. Denmark’s 9x Platinum (1 unit = a sale or 1,000 streams) is big, but check this: it’s 12x Platinum in the U.S. and a wild 18x Platinum in Australia.
Why It Still Slaps
Twenty-two years on, tracks like “Without Me” and “Cleanin’ Out My Closet” keep fans streaming and buying. This latest milestone in Denmark—just shy of 6 million people—shows Eminem’s grip on the game hasn’t slipped. Relive it below!
