About The Eminem Show
The Eminem Show is the fourth studio album by American rapper Eminem, released on May 26, 2002 by Aftermath Entertainment, Shady Records, and Interscope Records. The album also saw Eminem take a substantially more predominant production role; most of it was self-produced. Predominantly hip hop based, Eminem incorporated a heavier use of rock elements than his previous records. Dr. Dre was the album's executive producer. Due to its less comedic and shock factor lyrical approach, The Eminem Show is regarded as Eminem's most personal album and "revealing Marshall Mathers" for the first time.The Eminem Show was originally scheduled for release on June 4, 2002; however, pirated and bootlegged copies appeared online via peer-to-peer networks. Interscope Records decided to release the album earlier than planned, on May 28 to prevent bootlegging. However, many stores in the United States began selling it even earlier than the new release date on Sunday, May 26. Promotional posters in stores read, "America Couldn't Wait". A week before the album's release, it was the second-most played CD on computers, the highest ranking ever for an unreleased album.
The Eminem Show debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, staying there for five consecutive weeks. It also reached number one eighteen other countries. It sold over 1.3 million copies in its second week in the US, where it registered a full week of sales. The album produced four commercially successful singles "Without Me", "Cleanin' Out My Closet", "Superman", and "Sing for the Moment". "Without Me" became one of Eminem's most successful singles, reaching number two on the Billboard Hot 100, and number one in fifteen other countries. At the 45th Grammy Awards, the album was nominated for Album of the Year and became Eminem's third album to win Best Rap Album. It won the Billboard Music Award for Album of the Year.
The Eminem Show has sold 27 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time and Eminem's best-selling album. It is certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The Eminem Show was regarded as the most anticipated album of 2002 and was the best-selling album of 2002 in the United States, with over 7.5 million copies sold. Receiving critical praise by music critics for its more creative and advanced production, The Eminem Show is often debated as Eminem's magnum opus alongside The Marshall Mathers LP (2000) and has been ranked as one of the greatest albums of all time.
