Eminem Releases 20th Anniversary Edition of "The Eminem Show"

The Expanded Edition of The Eminem Show has arrived.

Eminem surprised his fans with a new project more than two years after the release of his last studio album, Music to be Murdered By.

Slim Shady blessed his fans with the 20th Anniversary Expanded Edition of his 2020 album, The Eminem Show. The project became the best-selling album of 2002 worldwide. With global sales of 27 million copies, it is one of the best-selling albums of all time and the second best-selling album of the 21st century. It achieved Diamond certification in the U.S. in March 2011 after shifting 10 million copies.

The Eminem Show was nominated for Album of the Year and won Best Rap Album at the 2003 Grammy Awards. Additionally, the project’s lead single, “Without Me,” won Best Music Video.

Eminem announced the updated project with a minute-long trailer featuring a montage of hits from the album.

“Well, if you want Shady, this is what I’ll give ya” he captioned the trailer. “ #TheEminemShow 20th Anniversary Expanded Edition drops Thursday 5/26.” Listen to it below.
