Eminem recently edged past Led Zeppelin to become the tenth best-selling artist of all time.
Chartmasters anticipates Shady will soon pass his good buddy Elton John to become the ninth.
We estimate that @Eminem will soon overtake @eltonofficial to become the 9th best selling artist of all time! The already #1 best-selling rapper's catalog has been performing consistently on streaming, leading to an overall steady increase in Equivalent Album Sales.

Next on the chart at eight is Frank Sinatra. There is a sizable distance between the two, and Sinatra's catalog is still pretty popular, so it's not clear if Em will be able to pass him.
Nevertheless, ninth all-time is nothing to sneeze at.
