What a time to be a stan! The Hip-hop world witnessed yet another historic moment with Eminem becoming the most-certified Gold & Platinum singles artist ever.
The news for the incredible achievement was announced by the RIAA on Tuesday (March 8). With the impressive 73.5 million new certified units, the Rap God can now show off with…get ready…166 million career single awards.
If all these Gold and Platinum certifications aren’t enough for the stans, there’s more. RIAA awarded the “MTBMB” mastermind with another diamond certificate this time for his album “Curtain Call: The Hits” which was released back in 2005. The classic LP now becomes Shady’s 6th diamond certification.
