This is a comprehensive list of awards received by Eminem, an American rapper, songwriter, and record producer. He began his career in 1996 with Web Entertainment and has been one of the most popular rap acts in the world since the late 1990s. Eminem is the best-selling artist of the decade on the US Nielsen SoundScan[1] and has sold over 220 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time.
Eminem quickly gained popularity in 1999 with his second album The Slim Shady LP, which won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. The following album, The Marshall Mathers LP, became the fastest-selling solo album in United States history.[2]
The Marshall Mathers LP and his fourth studio album, The Eminem Show, won Grammy Awards, making Eminem the first artist to win Best Rap Album for three consecutive albums. He then won the award again in 2010 for his album Recovery, giving him a total of 15 Grammys in his career. In 2003, he won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song for "Lose Yourself" from the film 8 Mile, in which he also played the lead role. "Lose Yourself" would go on to become the longest-running No. 1 hip hop single.[3]
Eminem then went on hiatus after touring in 2005. He released his first album since 2004's Encore, titled Relapse, in May 2009. In 2010, he released his seventh album, Recovery. It became his sixth consecutive number-one album in the US and achieved international commercial success, topping the chart in several other countries. It stayed at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart for five consecutive weeks and a total of seven weeks.[4][5] Recovery was also reported by Billboard to be the best-selling album of 2010, making Eminem the first artist in Nielsen SoundScan history to have two year-end best-selling albums.[6]
Eminem was ranked 79th on the VH1 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.[7] He was ranked 83rd on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.[8] He was also named the Best Rapper Alive by Vibe in 2008.[9] Including his work with D12 and Bad Meets Evil, Eminem has had 13 number-one albums on the Billboard Top 200, ten solo, two with D12, and one with Bad Meets Evil.[10] In December 2009, he was named the Artist of the Decade by Billboard.[11] His albums, The Eminem Show, The Marshall Mathers LP, and Encore, ranked as the 3rd,[12] 7th,[12] and 40th[13] best-selling albums of the 2000–09 decade by Billboard magazine.
