Congrats to Eminem. As for TGJ's question, I think Beyonce has faired well. Her album will be passing the 2 million mark soon and she hasn't had an album sell less then 3 million worldwide since her debut, which is not something all acts from the 90s can say. You can't ask why Bey, Gaga, and Katy don't sell like that because they aren't men. Eminem appeals to a very broad audience. He has just as many male fans as female fans. Its harder for females to pull those numbers because they mainly appeal to the female audience only. How many guys will go out and buy a Beyonce album? Very few straight ones at least. Girls will buy music from anyone, but guys feel more comfortable buying music from male artist. I guess its a masculine thing. Plus Gaga and Katy didn't debut in the 90s when going 2x platinum was normal and not considered slaying like today.
