Eminem's “The Marshall Mathers LP” and “The Eminem Show” are both diamond.
Eminem's singles "Lose Yourself", "Not Afraid" and "Love The Way You Lie" all charted at No. 1 and have been certified diamond or higher by the RIAA.

#1 – Eminem
Finally, “Love the Way You Lie” featuring Rihanna was certified right after as the sixteenth and received an award in 2018. In March of 2022, three of Eminem's albums, The Eminem Show, Curtain Call: The Hits, and The Marshall Mathers LP, were diamond certified songs as well.
Post Malone has broken the record for the most RIAA diamond-certified singles from any artist, with three newly certified records.
Brooks' seven diamond albums are his self-titled debut, No Fences, Ropin' The Wind, The Hits, Double-Live, The Ultimate Hits and, coincidentally, Sevens.
Garth Brooks holds the record for most diamond-certified albums, with nine. Others with three or more albums that have reached diamond status include The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Shania Twain and the Eagles.
Drake is tied with The Weeknd for the third-most diamond-certified songs in history.
Although 50 Cent mentions diamond status in his posts, his first two albums haven't yet been certified diamond on the Recording Industry Association of America's website. According to the RIAA, as of February 2020, Get Rich or Die Tryin' — which celebrated its 18th anniversary last month — went platinum nine times.
So far, only seven hip hop records have reached the Diamond status that signifies 10 million certified album units sold in the US. Such artists as Jay Z, Kanye West, Drake, and Dr. Dre, while having many other accolades imaginable, are yet to reach this milestone in their careers.
Jay-Z has earned his first ever diamond certification. The RIAA noted on Monday (June 12), that his 2011 collaboration with Kanye West, "N-ggas In Paris" achieved 10x platinum status, qualifying it for a diamond plaque with 10,000,000 units sold.
Prior to Tupac's murder on September 13, 1996, the artist released four studio albums, 1991's 2Pacalypse Now, 1993's Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z..., 1995's Me Against the World and 1996's All Eyez on Me. In July 2014, All Eyez on Me was certified Diamond by the RIAA.
With sales of over 220 million records worldwide, he is among of the best-selling music artists of all time. According to the RIAA, Eminem has sold 227.5 million certified albums and singles in the United States. In his home country, he has earned 50 platinum albums and 10 number one albums.
We all know that Eminem has a lot of hits but his 30 highest-charting songs might surprise you. Admittedly, the song that claimed the #1 spot on the list is no surprise – his 2002 anthem "Lose Yourself."
He rapped 598 syllables in 55 seconds to earn the honor. Eminem still holds the record for the most words in a hit single, however. "Rap God" holds 1,560 words.
