Who says White Boys Can't Rap??? If someone did - they might wanna get a new line. According to Nielsen Soundscan, Eminem is the best selling artist of the decade.
HEAR HIS NEW TRACK - BUFFALO BILL HERE!
The Detroit emcee’s closest competition came from the legendary Beatles.
Eminem’s win was secured by 2000’s Marshall Mathers LP (10, 204,000 copies), and 2003’s The Eminem Show (9,799,000).
Also, the rapper’s 2009 comeback LP Relapse added over 1.5 million in sales.
Those numbers would have increase further if Eminem had released his sequel Relapse 2 as originally planned in November.
Several other Hip-Hop artists made lasting chart imprints.
Nelly made the Top 10 for best selling albums with his breakout 2000 disc Country Grammar (8,461,000 copies).
Flo Rida, the Black Eyed Peas, and Soulja Boy made their impact through their respective Top 10 singles.
“Low” was secured the top-selling digital song of the decade with over 5 million downloads, followed by “Boom Boom Pow” at #4 (4,349,000), and “Crank Dat” at #6 (4,315,000).
At press time, Eminem’s Relapse 2 is set to be released on March 2010.
Last week, fans were treated to Relapse: Refill, an EP which featured recent album outtakes and guest spots from the rapper.
