The Eminem Show by Eminem
The Eminem Show is an album by Eminem, released in 2002. 6 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 33 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Without Me”, on 18 lists with a best position of #2.
The Eminem Show, Eminem's fourth album, dropped in 2002 on Shady, Aftermath and Interscope, and this time Marshall Mathers ran the board himself, producing most of it with extra help from Dr. Dre, Jeff Bass and Mr. Porter. The Slim Shady cartoon takes a step back; what's left is a man staring down his own fame and firing at the country around him, from 9/11 and the war on terror to George W. Bush, Lynne Cheney and Tipper Gore.
The beats lean harder on rap rock crunch than anything he'd done before, and the guest list keeps it in the family: Obie Trice, D12, Nate Dogg, Dr. Dre and his daughter Hailie Jade. "Without Me", "Cleanin' Out My Closet", "Superman" and "Sing for the Moment" were the singles. It sat at number one for six weeks, won the Grammy for Best Rap Album, and outsold every other album on the planet in 2002.
