[edit] Latvian chart numbers

I removed the info on how well some of the singles charted in Lativa. No offense intended to anyone from Latvia, but this is not important information.

Even if it were necessary to add chart numbers from countries besides UK/US, I think other countries with larger markets would come first... Garrettcobb 22:48, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Missing Album

Recently, I came across a song called "The Kidz" by Eminem. When I looked up the lyrics on letssingit it was listed(along with several other songs) under the album title "Off the Wall". I'd like to know why that album isn't listed here.

Off The Wall was a bootleg made up of songs that were bonus tracks on singles or albums (as in the case of "The Kids" - it was a bonus track on the Marshall Mathers LP in the UK), songs from other artists that Eminem featured on and leaked tracks that didn't make it onto his albums. I don't think it should be on there as there were no new tracks on that bootleg. Straight From The Lab EP, while also a bootleg, was made up entirely of new tracks so it makes sense that it stays. 86.134.199.92 20:00, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FACK

I deleted FACK from the list of singles. It's on Curtain Call, but it's not going to be released as a single.86.134.199.92 10:58, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Guest Appearances

Fixed the links to Duets: The Final Chapter and Devil Without a Cause.86.134.199.92 19:15, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Other rare tracks?

I think other tracks such as 'Hellbound' should be included, perhaps in a new section, stating where they came from (The Kids could be included in this); to give a comprehensive list. The hellbound H&H remix was on the compilation CD (ie various artists) 'game over'. is that where it came from.. what about the un-remixed version.. does it even exist?.. anyway i'm sure there are many more tracks that arent on any of the albums or bootlegs listed. actually i shall start this but it certainly needs more input.. Also, what about being an honourary memeber of the 'Outsidaz' on their 'Night Life' CD?Bungalowbill 16:35, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] (probably most) complete eminem discography

Can someone integrate the list from http://www.d12world.com/board/showthread.php?t=243665 here..?

[edit] Formatting

I'm going to start reformatting this discogrpahy like The Beatles discography, if anyone wants assist. Phoenix2 18:22, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stop Changing Format

Please do not change the format of the article. Wikipedia discography's are made to be split up into sections. Underground albums do not go with mainstream albums License2Kill 18:33, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sales Number

What's up with the fake certifications? Check the friggin' riaa.com searchable database and you'll find his real certifications, such as Encore going 4x Platiunum and The MM LP going 9x. Kajito 22:49, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

• The riaa does not report on albums 8 years after they come out. The last time they probably reported on one of his albums, it was most likely a platinum certification lower than it currently is.

[edit] Removed vandalism

I have removed recent vandalism from this page License2Kill 22:06, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RIAA Certifications

Please stop changing the official RIAA certifications. Go to RIAA.com and you'll see that Slim Shady LP is 4x, Marshall Mathers LP is 9x, Eminem Show is 8x, Encore is 4x, Curtain Call: The Hits is 2x, 8 Mile is 4x, Devil's Night is 1x, and D12 World is 2x. SlimShady6135 20:26, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

• The RIAA does not report on albums 5,6,7, or 8 years after they come out. The Slim Shady LP sold over 3 million by the end of 1999, 4,707,000 by mid 2000, and over 5.3 million now. Look in the 8 Mile DVD under biography, it says that The Slim Shady LP has sold over 5 million in the U.S. and over 8 million world wide (which is currently 9 million). The Marshall Mathers LP sold over 8 million by the end of 2000. By late 2001, it's sales figure was 9.4 million. It was certified diamond in 2003. Everybody who knows anything about rap knows that there are 4 rap albums to sell 10 million: Please Hammer Don't Hurt Em', Life After Death, The Marshall Mathers LP, and Speakerboxx/The Love Below. The Eminem Show sold 7.6 million by the end of 2002 and 8.8 million by the end of 2003. I don't know exactly how much it is currently at but I know that an album that has sold 8,885,000 (according to the very reliable Rolling Stone Magazine) by late 2002 has been able to sell a measly 115,000 in over 4 years. Encore sold 4.7 million by mid to late 2005. Almost all reports on Eminem involving his albums, discography, or record sales have clocked Encore at over 5 million. An album doesn't even always have to sell the exact number of millions to be certified that many times platinum. I know that an album (especially an Eminem album) can sell 200 to 300 thousand in nearly 2 years. Devil's Night sold 524,000 copies in it's first week of release. It's common sense that an album that has sold over half a million in one week will sell way more than another half million in the following 6 years. It's at 2.2 million. Go to the billboardcharts.com and you will see that The Re-Up has the platinum symbol next to its name. Plus 925,000 (that's what The Re-Up's current sales figure is) is more than enough to get a platinum certification for shipments of over 1 million copies.

The RIAA certifications only apply to the United States and not the rest of the world. Could anyone find out his FULL total. Its around 65/70 million i believe.

• The Slim Shady LP has sold 9 million worldwide, The Marshall Mathers LP-21 million, The Eminem Show-20 million, and Encore-12.5 million. Plus Curtain Call's 7 million. That would put him at well over 70 million if all of the hundred thousands were to be counted.

Yes, but it doesn't help to just guess how many times platinum it went worldwide. Either find a source and post it or don't change it at all. SlimShady6135 19:39, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Would someone add that he has sold over 70 million? Refere http://www.mtv.tv/mtv.tv/dynamo/shells/artist_of_the_week.jhtml;jsessionid=GYCT1VPRA0ZFDQFIAIISFE4AVABBEIV0?article=30113358nce (This is also Ref 5 on the main page) I will leave it for somone to place appropriately. Thanks

[edit] Pictures

Who got rid of the album pictures. I would put them back if I knew how but I don't so somebody please do it. It makes the page look better. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.158.207.111 (talk) 22:13, 7 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Label

Eminem excluding D12 albums has only released two albums on Shady Records (The Re-up and the 8-mile soundtrack). The Marshall Mathers LP, Slim Shady LP, The Eminem Show, Encore, and Curtain Call have all been Aftermath albums.
