Eminem has earned Billboard's artist of the decade title, just slightly more than 10 years after he made his Billboard Hot 100 debut. The decade-end artist recap ranks the best-performing acts of the past 10 years (from December 4, 1999, to November 28, 2009) based on activity on two charts: the Billboard 200 albums list and the Billboard Hot 100 songs tally.
The hip-hop king first graced the Hot 100 chart February 27, 1999, with "My Name Is," then racked up another 27 entries from 2000 onward. On the Billboard 200, all five of his sets released in the decade reached No. 1. Additionally, his album "The Slim Shady LP" debuted and peaked at No. 2 in the spring of 1999, but continued to chart in 2000.
Eminem is also the top male artist of the decade. The female honor goes to Beyonce, while the top duo/group is Nickelback.
Em took a break almost the whole 10 years. What? Reminds me of Obama's Nobel Peace prize. He won that after 2 weeks in office. BTW, the deadline for the Nobel Peace prize is Feb 1st. Same with Bernanke as TIME's man of the year!
