Chart Check: Eminem’s ‘Curtain Call’ Certified 5x Platinum

For Eminem, the pressure’s undoubtedly on for his new album (due out this year) to match or better the seven that came before it.

Before that though, he may be pleased to learn that it’ll be received by an audience still very much in support of his cause…a cause, that’s now seen ‘Curtain’ certified 5x Platinum in the UK.


Released in 2005, ‘Call’ stands as the performer’s Greatest Hits album- debuting on the Billboard 200 with 441,000 units. Eight years later, the album has sold 3,173,000 units in the US alone and- as of this summer- has shifted a sweet 1,500,000 units in the UK.

By doing this, it has now earned a 5x Platinum certification in the market, after being certified 8x Platinum in Ireland where he enjoys 6 #1 singles- one of which being the Rihanna assisted ‘Love The Way You Lie‘, now 11x Platinum in the US.

  4. Boss August 6, 2013

    It helps to be white

    • Beyawnce August 6, 2013

      Not for Mac Miller

      • Boss August 6, 2013

        It helped him too. Look how much air play and exposure he got.

      • Beyawnce August 6, 2013

        Clearly not , Have you seen his album sales ? The only white rapper doing well is Macklemore

      • Boss August 6, 2013

    • Beyawnce August 6, 2013

    • Beyawnce August 6, 2013

      Ciara will never see a stadium or arena where she will be performing

  7. BeyWhoUWanna August 6, 2013

    That’s because Eminem is white and all radio formats play his music. Jay Z would sell that much too if he got played on AC stations too.

    • EasyBreezyBeautiful August 6, 2013

      • Super Cisus August 6, 2013

        Rihalienna is a lazy alien s*** crackhead goat and her illuminati thief fat yodeling snippet mother Beyoldce is the fraud of the f****** industry.

    • Beyawnce August 6, 2013

      You can keep repeating yourself but at the end of the day Rihanna and Beyonce have outsold Ciara . TRY AGAIN .

  9. Beyawnce August 6, 2013

    I want him to collaborate with Jay z again like Renegade 2.0

  10. truth tea (take a sip) August 6, 2013

    “look at my sales, let’s do the math – if I was black, I would’ve sold half,
    I ain’t have to graduate from Lincoln high school to know that” – Eminem ‘White America’

  14. Ciara is everything August 6, 2013

    C – Squad Runs ThatGrapeJuice >>>>>

    • Super Cisus August 6, 2013

      Sis did you see how Beyoldce jocked Ci’s swag at The Mrs Carter Snippet Show? She stole her choreo and everything honey

      • cici slaaaaays August 6, 2013

        Omg now shes copying Ciara God Beyonce is so desperate

      • Super Cisus August 6, 2013

        She is pathetic tbh

      • Sass August 6, 2013

        Beyoncé didn’t steal Ciaras choreo nice try she did them moves in Countdown. The thirst from Ciara fans.

  15. Thando August 6, 2013

    Forgive me, I am South African and on the whole I don’t know anything about rap music (is it music?), but would I be committing a crime if I said that the only reason this person is this successful is because white people (who are the majority in America) were over excited by a white person who has a talent at what the black people were doing?

    Again, I know nothing about rap music but I have heard a lot of “rap-loving” friends of mine critique (in a bad way) his “rap skills”

  16. Sass August 6, 2013

    Congrats but sales doesn’t equal respect and quality in Hip Hop. He’s sold more than Tupac and Biggie but they will forever be the only KINGS

    • Beyawnce August 6, 2013

      I agree with you , 2pac and biggie are on a whole another level.

      • Beyawnce August 6, 2013

        Biggie is a good rapper but in my opinion tupac js better , He stood up for what he believed and his message was clear

    • rih rox (ignore that imposter who’s always here it has my old account and now i have a new one) August 6, 2013

      Tupac is great but I could not understand what that bigfiewas mumbling about.

      Eminem & Tupac All day every day.

      • Sass August 6, 2013

        You are entitled to your opinion, but in Hip Hop Biggie>>>>>> Eminem. That’s the way it is.

    • Yeah I Said It August 6, 2013

      Don’t know why you got thumbed down. Its the truth.

  17. cici slaaaaays August 6, 2013

    No one gives two shits tho.

    • Beyawnce August 6, 2013

      THEN STOP COMMENTING AND GET OF THE POST B****

      • cici slaaaaays August 6, 2013

        You mad f**?

  18. . : : H 2 O : : . August 6, 2013

    Yeah, SUREEEEE Rihanna is SHITTING on Beyonce… Just look at her tour numbers!

    • Super Cisus August 6, 2013

      Both are mediocre illuminati whores

      • cici slaaaaays August 6, 2013

        Im so glad Ciara doesn’t worship the devil like those two distasteful b******

      • Your fave is a FLOP August 6, 2013

        C-error doesnt worship her career enough to be performing at local pool parties

  19. Beyawnce August 6, 2013

    You are very repetitive

    • cici slaaaaays August 6, 2013

      B**** and you are very basic you obviously have no life… So worried about what the c – squad is doing go listen to 4 & slit ya wrist gurl…depressed Queen Beyonce will never drop a new album keep on lookin

      • Beyawnce August 6, 2013

        Worried? I dont think so , You shoukd be worried cause we all know ciara gon get dropped , 3 Strikes b**** and you are out 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

  20. Your fave is a FLOP August 6, 2013

    This is an Eminem post. Where THE F*** do yall see C-error and Beyonce?!

  21. cici slaaaaays August 6, 2013

    Hey @SuperCisus what do you think Ciaras next single will be? I hope its overdose!!

    • Super Cisus August 6, 2013

      I heard its Super Turnt Up =( && i want either Overdose or Where You Go!!!!!

      • cici slaaaaays August 6, 2013

        Ooo idk I like super turnt up but I don’t think she should another urban single yet, Where You Go has great crossover appeal it would slay urban & pop radio

    • Pour It Up August 6, 2013

      How about… Silence?

  22. Pour It Up August 6, 2013

    Ciara stans = The Jokes of TGJ

  23. rih rox (ignore that imposter who’s always here it has my old account and now i have a new one) August 6, 2013

    Come back Eminem….take Gayz and Kangay out.

    Katch’Em & Kick’Em in the Krotch!

  24. ^AKA^ August 6, 2013

    Congratulations. he is so huge, not just in the USA, but everywhere.

    When will Ciara see Gold let alone Platinum plaque again? Is Body Part cerified Gold after all that promo? I’m Out?

    • Your fave is a FLOP August 6, 2013

      She thought that Nicki collab could save her.

  25. Yeah I Said It August 6, 2013

    Don’t have time for M&M who raps about how he would r*** a woman and killing his wife.

  26. Brazilian Beyonce!!! August 6, 2013

    Helps being White Tbh… Even the greatest pop star is White with less talent..
    Congratulations to him anyways

    • Beyawnce August 6, 2013

      Lets not bring race into this , if eminem is selling because he is white why are mac miller , yelawolf and mgk not doing em number? Clearly its not race , Em is lyrically good thats why he selling.

      • Krissy August 6, 2013

        Come down from fairy-tale land everyone knows Eminems sales are because of skin color mainly. He is a decent rapper, but his WW appeal and being able to carry rap so internationally is because of his skin color. Even he knows it himself. That’s not to say all white rappers will see them sales.

      • Krissy August 6, 2013

        The same reason Adeles 21 sold so much.
        The album was good but nothing innovative and nothing that couldn’t be done by the next black person just as well.

        Do you honestly think if Adele was big and black it would’ve done so well? But not all white girls that sing soulfully have mammoth sales like that.

    • Well done. August 7, 2013

      Decent? He’s one of the most technically gifted rappers of all time. His sales might be boosted because he’s white but the reason he is put in the GOAT conversation is thanks to his skill.

      • Well done. August 7, 2013

        ^was reply to Krissy.

  27. Brazilian Beyonce!!! August 6, 2013

    Ciara stans talking about charts Okaaay…

  28. bibi93 August 6, 2013

  29. theman August 6, 2013
