Eminem's WW record sales

[slimshady18]

So someone made estimations about Eminem's total WW sales on another forum.Yes,I already posted in official sales thread,but not many people go there so I wanted to post here.

I already knew that he sold that many records,but wikipedia pisses me off
Why wikipedia says that he sold 90 million albums when he sold way more ?
they are not counting D12 (and that is his hip hop group,8 mile soundtrack album )and they are probably not counting Curtain call the hits too.I know wikipedia is not the best source for anything but still,someone needs to edit that shit By Wikipedia,Eminem sold 130 million records (counting only 90 million album sales and US single sales ) but that's def wrong because they are not counting two/three albums and other single sales outside USA.


The estimations :
source : mediatraffic,IFPI,other random sites for sales
Marshall Mathers - 22 million
Eminem show - 20 million
Recovery - 7 million
Relapse - 6 million
Encore - 13
SSLP - 12 million
Curtain call the hits - 7 million
8 mile soundtrack album - around 10 million
D12 - 7 million
Singles
42,290,000 million singles in the US alone and 20-30 million singles worldwide

Overall : 160-170 million records sold

Gaga sold more in 2 years. No point.

No point in what? The point is that its huge for a hip hop artist.

[SoldierShady]

Gaga sold more in 2 years. No point.

This makes me so fucking angry...

People love Gaga more than Eminem.

[Mathers]

Gaga sold more in 2 years. No point.

No she hasn't.

[Amaranthine]

Gaga sold more in 2 years. No point.

The Born This Way Ball will be Lady Gaga's first tour since the release of her album Born This Way (Streamline/Konlive/Interscope), which has sold nearly 6 million copies worldwide since its release in May 2011. The album is the follow-up to back-to-back Grammy Award-winning albums 2009's The Fame Monster, and 2008's The Fame. Combined, The Fame and The Fame Monster have sold 15 million albums worldwide, while Lady Gaga's hit singles have combined sales of over 65 million worldwide.

(As of April 10, 2012)
I can't believe I just looked that up. But no, she hasn't sold more than Em.

^he'll cross eminem anyway in few years(not the albums but singles).

8 Mile is at 9 Million but is not counted with Eminem sales, nor is D12, SSLP is at 9 Million, Encore is at 11 Million, Relapse is barely 5 Million

so it's:

SSLP: 9 Million
MMLP: 22 Million
TES: 20 Million
Encore: 11 Million
Relapse: 5 Million
Recovery: 7 Million
Curtain Call: 7 Million

Total: 81 Million albums

+ 42 Million singles (not sure if D12, Featured, BME, 8 Mile singles are included, which shouldn't)

= 123 Million

SSLP and Encore sold way more then that.Mediatraffic is not the best source and other sites claim that encore sold 13-14 million and SSLP at 12
well wikipedia should count that.because in MJ sales they count jackson 5 sales and in beyonce's sales they count destiny's child sales
lol at you saying that he has sold 81 million albums when even wikipedia has wrote that he sold 90 million
and in official sales thread there are countless Eminem fans that counted his album sales and he has sold 100 million albums

[slimshady18]

Gaga sold more in 2 years. No point.

gaga has sold 23 million albums and 60 million singles.impossible

[slimshady18]

all I'm saying that it's not fair that wikipedia is not counting D12 and 8 mile in his sales.if they count groups from MJ and Beyonce in their sales they should in his too.

Gaga will never even top half of the albums Em sold. And even if she did, it wouldn't be something we should be mad for. She's a popstar, appealing to a wider audience than Eminem.

only Adele sells albums this days.gaga will never top 40 million albums sales,let alone 90-100 million albums like Eminem
pop stars only sell singles this days.but still Eminem as an rap artist already sold 40 million singles in US alone and 30 million worldwide.

[slimshady18]

I hope you're right and Em has sold that much, and I hope Adele fucking flops with her next album, I like her, but don't want her to sell that much

well,I wouldn't post this if I didn't have some good sources that claim this
Eminem def sold like 70 million singles worldwide (on IFPI you can check it and other official sites for single sales )and he def sold 95-100 albums.I made this thread only for asking why wikipedia isn't counting D12 and 8 mile sales in his album sales.he still sold like 90 million with solo albums and with curtain call the hits album.but still they should count,like they do for MJ sales.or he has to die so they can count it ?
Adele is a really talented singer and all.but the album is truly overrated.Amy's album back to black deserved this sales.not this album
I don't believe Adele is going to sell much with next album.I think she's going to have Norah Jones type success.one huge album and then,the next album not selling really like 21.not even close

[OneFallsRich]

in german wikipedia i wrote an article about his gold/platinum awards worldwide:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_ ... von_Eminem
he got awards for over 93 million sales.
that means that the total sales are much higher and are around 150-160 million.

[Bedtime Stories]

Gaga sold more in 2 years. No point.

They're about the same. Most of Eminem's sales come from albums while most of GaGa's come from singles.

Anyway, the 8 Mile Soundtrack is at 14 million WW.
The Eminem Show is at 24 million WW.
