Eminem is the best-selling artist of the 2000s in the United States
Throughout his career, he has had 10 number-one albums on the Billboard 200 and five number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100

Rolling Stone ranked him 83rd on its list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time, calling him the King of Hip Hop
After his debut album Infinite (1996), Eminem signed with Dr
Dre's Aftermath Entertainment and subsequently achieved mainstream popularity in 1999 with The Slim Shady LP, which earned him his first Grammy Award for Best Rap Album
His next two releases, 2000's The Marshall Mathers LP and 2002's The Eminem Show, were worldwide successes, with each being certified diamond in U.S. sales, and both winning Best Rap Album Grammy Awards—making Eminem the first artist to win the award for three consecutive LPs
They were followed by Encore in 2004, another critical and commercial success
Eminem went on hiatus after touring in 2005, releasing Relapse in 2009 and Recovery in 2010
