Music and film:
Eminem, the famed American rapper, songwriter, record producer, record executive, and actor, stands tall as the top-selling artist of the 2000s within the United States.

Across his journey, he boasts an impressive track record of 10 albums that clinched the number one spot on the Billboard 200, accompanied by five chart-topping singles on the Billboard Hot 100.

Kicking off his musical odyssey, Eminem's inaugural album, "Infinite," emerged under the banner of Web Entertainment back in 1996.

Despite its inception, the album managed to amass merely a thousand copies in sales and fell short of making an impact on national charts.

However, destiny took a turn with a contract inked with Interscope Records and Aftermath Entertainment.

This paved the way for the rapper's breakthrough with "The Slim Shady LP" in 1999, securing an impressive second rank on the Billboard 200 and netting four RIAA platinum certifications.

The following year saw Eminem's third studio masterpiece, "The Marshall Mathers LP," achieve extraordinary feats.

A staggering 1.76 million copies flew off the shelves within its debut week, obliterating records as the fastest-selling hip-hop album in history and the swiftest-selling solo album within the United States.

Bolstered by over ten million sales, the album secured its spot as the third-best selling record in the country that year.

During this prolific period, Eminem co-founded Shady Records alongside manager Paul Rosenberg, establishing a record label that would etch his legacy in the industry.
