Eminem held his first concert in Korea on Sunday at Jamsil Olympic Stadium in Seoul, staging the show in front of over 20,000 fans as part of his world tour concert entitled "Recovery."
The singer released his sixth album with the same title in 2010 when he made a comeback after battling an addition to prescription drugs and suffering due to the death of his close friend and band mate, Proof.
Since his debut in 1999, the rapper has sold over 80 million copies of his albums. He has also picked up 13 Grammy awards. In 2003, he grabbed the Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Lose Yourself," taken from the soundtrack of his movie "8 Mile," beating other nominees including U2 and Paul Simon.
During the two-hour concert, Eminem performed his hit songs including those on the "Recovery" album, and fans responded passionately to the long-awaited show.

I ask because Eminem is supposed to be the higher selling artist of this century with Britney Spears being the second highest (she's the highest selling female artist, he's the lead for the males), but Britney is at 97 million albums and is slowly edging up to 100 million, so Eminem should be higher than that unless Britney moved past him during all those years he was inactive.
She tweeted about it. She was impressed.
And I feel the same.
Good catch though !!!
