Eminem is also now the RIAA top certified artist with a total of 227.5 million units, which includes 166 million singles and 61.5 million album units. Along with that, Eminem’s greatest hits album “Curtain Call: The Hits” goes Diamond after moving 10 million copies. The album, released in 2005, includes Eminem’s greatest tracks like “My Name Is”, “Stan”, “Lose Yourself”, “Without Me”, “The Real Slim Shady” and more.
