# List of Eminem records and achievements

Rapper Eminem holds many notable achievements, including 13 Guinness Book of World Records, for his videos, singles, albums, and rapping abilities.
Eminem's first appearance in the Guinness Book of World Records was in 2000 for being the "fastest-selling rap artist" with his third album The Marshall Mathers LP. Since then, he has earned multiple appearances, 11 at least as of June 2024, including his record title as the top-selling hip hop artist of all time. Eminem is also a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, with his induction occurring in 2022.

Eminem achieved mainstream popularity in 1999 with The Slim Shady LP. His next two releases, The Marshall Mathers LP (2000) and The Eminem Show (2002), were worldwide successes and were both nominated for the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Eminem is among the best-selling music artists of all time, with estimated worldwide sales of over 220 million records. He was the best-selling music artist in the United States of the 2000s and the bestselling male music artist in the United States of the 2010s, third overall. Billboard named him the "Artist of the Decade (2000–2009)". He has had ten number-one albums on the Billboard 200—which all consecutively debuted at number one on the chart, making him the first artist to achieve this—and five number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100. The Marshall Mathers LP, The Eminem Show, Curtain Call: The Hits (2005), "Lose Yourself", "Love the Way You Lie", and "Not Afraid" have all been certified Diamond or higher by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Rolling Stone has included him in its lists of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time and the 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time. He has won numerous awards, including 15 Grammy Awards, eight American Music Awards, 17 Billboard Music Awards, an Academy Award, a Primetime Emmy Award, and an MTV Europe Music Global Icon Award.
