Eminem hasn't had a RIAA certified diamond album. (marshall mathers Lp has definitely sold more than 10 mil but they havnt updated same goes with most 9 mil rap albums)
Outkast went diamond.
Worldwide.... 2pac, 50 cent, and Eminem have diamond albums with 2pac ad Eminem having more than one diamod albums.

I think about 105...
I found a list that says it's complete and there was 105 on the list.

THIS LIST IS NOT COMPLETE! IT DOES NOT EVEN INCLUDE TUPAC SHAKUR GREATEST HITS ALBUM AND IT IS MISSING AN Elvis ALBUM!
Only one. Michael Jackson's Thriller holds the record as the biggest-selling album in the United States with 29 million albums sold, far more than the diamond threshold of 10 million, but it's actually his only album to pass the 10 million mark in the US.
jay-z and the whole roc nation that's why they're always throwing up the diamond sign with their hands and saying ''it's the rock'' meaning they went diamond on their record sales and are now constantly bragging about it
According to RIAA standards, in the United States an album or a single must sell 10,000,000 copies before it is certified as diamond. 10 million albums sold
I believe that there are about 107 that have officially been certified diamond, butt I could be wrong

There's no such thing as a bronze album level relating to the number of record sales. Most countries use the levels Gold and Platinum, with some adding Diamond as the highest sales level. Only one country (the UK) measures record sales starting with a Silver level, which is the lowest measure anyone currently uses.
As of Novemeber 2012 they have had over 250 record sales. 50 VHS sales from 1992- 1998 and over 200 physical and digital downloads afterwards.
One million copies.
That will be extremely difficult to know because he is an independent artist. Many indie sales are not recorded by Soundscan.

Going platinum is selling 1,000,000 albums.
It means Justin bieber's album has a large number of sales (the album has been purchased by many people) so if many people buy it. it became'd a record Never Say Never (the remixes) was at billboard no.1 position the album was the no.1 album bought by the people so it became's a record in the selling of album so we say record sales
