Eminem Becomes First Digital Platinum Artist

Eminem’s 2010 album ‘Recovery’ has become the first album ever to sell more than one million digital sales.

The breakthrough came just one week after the rapper landed at number one again with his new project Bad Meets Evil with Detroit’s rapper Royce Da 5’9. It is also the first time in 5 years any artist has scored two number one albums within a 12-month period.

"We are thrilled to congratulate Eminem on the history-making digital sales success of Recovery," says Eminem's manager Paul Rosenberg.  "Over the years we've made a concerted effort to engage Em's online fan base so this achievement is especially rewarding. Eminem made an amazing album with Recovery and the fans responded in record numbers." 

A new single from the Bad Meets Evil album “Hell: The Sequel’ was also released this week. The song ‘Lighters’ features Bruno Mars.
