44 years ago this week one of the greatest artists, performers, entertainers and rappers of all time was born. It was October 17, 1972 that this star was born into this world and we’re quite sure nobody expected him to do what he has done as an artist.
Of course, we’re talking about the great Eminem, or Marshall Mathers as he was named before he became a rapper. He’s the best selling artist of all time and has done it obviously because of his amazing hits. During his time as an artist he generated 10 albums that would reach number one on the Billboard 200 chart! On those 10 albums came five singles that would reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Eminem has been nominated for awards an astonishing amount of times, 311 to be exact. Of those 311 nominations, he won 155 of them. The Grammys accounted for 43 nominations and 15 wins while 17 of his wins came from the Billboard Music Awards. Eminem has had a career that we could talk about forever and ever, he was that great. For now, we’ll just say happy birthday and congrats on the wonderful career!
