Eminem has broken digital sales records by becoming the first artist to sell one million digital copies of his album Recovery in the U.S.
The 39-year-old Detroit rapper also scored a number one album with his latest release Hell: The Sequel (which features a collaboration with Royce Da 5'9 as the duo Bad Meets Evil) marking the first time in the last five years that an artist has landed two number one albums in one calendar year.
Noted Eminem's manager Paul Rosenberg: "Over the years we've made a concerted effort to engage Em's online fan base so this achievement is especially rewarding. Eminem made an amazing album with Recovery and the fans responded in record numbers."
Added Interscope Records Vice Chairman Steve Berman: "Recovery selling one million digital albums is an incredible achievement by an incredible artist. I have had the pleasure of working with Eminem throughout the course of his career, and I'm delighted to be a part of yet another milestone on his amazing journey."
Eminem will be headlining this year's Lollapalooza festival on August 6 in Chicago.
