(NEW YORK) -- Eminem's Recovery now officially holds the record for the best-selling digital album in history, according to Yahoo!'s Chart Watch column.

Recovery took the spot from Lady Gaga's The Fame by selling 922,000 digital copies so far, compared to The Fame’s 919,000. Recovery also sold its first 500,000 digital copies in just six weeks, which is faster than any other album to date.

The first album to ever hold the title for best-selling digital album was Coldplay’s X&Y, back in 2006. It eventually lost out to The Fray's How to Save a Life. Then, The Fray lost the title to John Mayer's Continuum, until Coldplay took it back with Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends. Gaga then took the title from Coldplay

Gone back to listening to Recovery again and I love it, "You're never Over" is by far the standout track on the album.....

If you've been following the music industry over the last decade, you already know that earning a platinum record (one million sold) takes a perfect combination of hits, hype and marketing. Going diamond, which is selling 10 million, is nearly unthinkable outside of legacy artists such as Michael Jackson. Yet Eminem somehow has done it again. The ever-popular Detroit rapper just scored his second diamond disc with 2002's 'The Eminem Show' nearly a decade after it was originally released.

The RIAA confirms the diamond certification for the disc as of March 7, 2011. Em, real name Marshall Mathers, also scored a diamond record for his breakout 'Marshall Mathers LP,' which was released back in 2000. His next closest, 'Encore,' sits around 7 million sold, while his most recent effort 'Recovery' is inching closer to 4 million total sales in less than a year.

'The Eminem Show,' the rapper's fourth solo LP, features hits like 'Without Me,' 'Cleanin' Out My Closet' and the Aerosmith-sampling 'Sing for the Moment.' It also featured a more reflexive and lighthearted persona for the rapper. While previous efforts had focused on how the outside world had messed-up Em's life outlook, 'The Eminem Show' was his first disc to really examine the concept of celebrity and what it was like to live inside the mind of America's most controversial rapper at the time.

Singers and music stars are popular than ever now, quite evident from their growing popularity on social networks.

The man of our recent talks, Eminem, has just gone past 30 million fans on Facebook, adding up as many as half-a-million new likes this week alone.

The American rapper who beat Michael Jackson as the most popular person living or dead, on Facebook, is now also the first person to amass as many fans (& 4th in all, including brands).

Call it a fame explosion or what, Eminem’s fans on Facebook grew more than tenfold in the span of an year; from a mere 2.7 million to 30,030,568 between March 2010 – 2011.

On the other hand, with nearly 26.5 million fans on Facebook, and growing at a threatening 528,000 fans a week (according to FameCount), it won’t be long before Rihanna pulls it off too. And Lady Gaga is about 3 days away from joining the 30 million fans club. Stay tuned!

Rihanna landed a jaw-dropping 18 nominations for the Billboard Music Awards, including including top artist, top female artist, top Hot 100 artist, top R&B artist and top dance/electronic artist. Her duet with Eminem, "Love the Way You Lie," reaped a half dozen bids. That boosted Eminem's total to 16 nominations, including top artist, top male artist, top Billboard 200 artist and top rap artist.

Another chart-topper, Lady Gaga, racked up a dozen nominations, including three for top dance/electronic album ("The Fame," "The Fame Monster" and her remix EP). Both Katy Perry and Shakira scored a triple play in the pop and latin song races respectively.

Two of the new artist nominees -- Justin Bieber and Bruno Mars -- each earned 11 nominations. Ke$ha, Nicki Minaj and Taio Cruz are also in contention for the best rookie prize.

While the Grammy Awards honor the best musical numbers, the Billboard Awards salute music with the best-selling numbers. Billboard is the preeminent publication covering the music business, charting sales across a variety of genres. Covering the year ending March 1, these kudos across 46 categories will be awarded based on the overall impact of performers. Among the criteria for determining the winners will be: chart standings, radio airplay, streaming, social media, and tour grosses.

These awards aired on Fox from 1989 to 2006. Relaunching this year on ABC, the May 22 Las Vegas ceremony has lined up Rihanna, the Black Eyed Peas, Taio Cruz, Lady Antebellum, Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban to perform.The alphabet net now has three marquee music awardscasts airing in the all-important sweep months. The Country Music Association Awards and American Music Awards are each held in November and have proven to be ratings powerhouses. This year's edition of the Grammys on CBS garnered their best viewing figures in a decade.

To date, Janet Jackson is the biggest BMA winner, with 33 awards across a variety of categories while her brother Michael Jackson reigns as the male champ with 29 wins. In addition, the kudos also bestowed a lifetime achievement prize -- dubbed the Centennial Award - on a variety of musical acts, beginning with George Harrison in 1992 and ending with Tony Bennett in their final year on Fox.

Ay Slim, a reality check is what I’m giving you
This stupid drug addict’s an oxymoron like living Proof*
This pussy went from Dre beats to Rihanna collabs
I’ll put his head in a duffel and pee onto the bag
He thinks he’s bombing, but he’s still a fag like Osama in drag
I banged his momma, how’s that for a prominent shag?
Yeah Em, you heard right, I son you
Sun Tzu, art of war, ‘**** happened to your guns dude?
Warning was dope, yeah you were repping your thing
But Nick called you out, you were too scared to step in the ring
Real rap? Homie you didn’t bring it back
Nah, Slim went for that Lipton cash, kissing ass
This prick is wack, everyone knows he ain’t ripping raps
Simple fact: Roman wants revenge for that ****ty track
You a chick, a bitch, don’t make me smite ya honey
Your hospital bills will use up all your Chrysler money
Em, your era of being nice and impressive is done
I need a doctor, I’m sick from you professing your love-
For Dre in that duet, the homo vibe: lock it away
I think Dre’s heart is where you were rocketing, ay?
I called Kim, today it’s YOU getting dropped in the bay
Weezy and Pink? **** you must love to pocket the pay
I constantly spit sick, I got daily vomit
Your daughter’s a slut, look there’s Hailey’s Comment! (comet)
I’m crossing lines like you used to, you might be hot
If you had the balls to pick on someone besides Mikey Fox
Turn down an endorsement? Ha, likely not
Every video, your feet looking like a Nike shop
And what happened to loyalty? Em, get your **** straight
You in D12 and can only spit ONE VERSE for the mixtape?
**** mayne, I think you better call the cops
I just stole your self respect. Em: YOU’VE FALLEN OFF

This is ****ing amazing haha (note not mine, from a forum I'm on)

Eminem has been enjoying good numbers in 2011 not just for Recovery though. The RIAA has declared Eminem's third studio album, certified Diamond. The certification means the album has accumulated 10 million copies sold. Almost 11 years after its release we see the impact Eminem has on sales even in this "non-buying" day of age. Last month his fourth album, The Eminem Show went Diamond as well.

Everything Eminem touches seemingly turns to gold – or in his case, diamond.

The Detroit bad boy, already enjoying one of his most successful runs in his 19-year career, and his third studio album The Marshall Mathers LP has been certified by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) as Diamond – meaning it has sold 10 million copies in the United States alone. Released in May of 2000, the album also won a Grammy for Best Rap Album and was also nominated for album of the year. The actual certification was made official by the RIAA on March 9.

This current milestone is significant to note because this is Slim Shady’s second Diamond certification this year alone. His Grammy Award winning fourth album, The Eminem Show, was also bestowed with the high honor earlier this year, making it the first of his seven albums to receive the certification. In an age where sales are reportedly decreasing, this one-two punch from Eminem shows the incredible amount of fan support the Motor City rapper has.

Speaking of those fans, the social media network Twitter was ablaze with comments about Em’s latest achievement, and many fans felt that the certification is fitting as some felt that The Marshall Mathers LP was most cohesive work. “His best album. He had 'the glow' on that album. 'Stan' was a storytelling masterpiece,” tweeted @ubidoobidooo. Fan @YoungGriot added, “That LP was all of Eminem, he spread himself bare and we had no choice but to accept it. Nothing but fearless!!” An unimpressed @Breezy_UNI shared, “[G]ood for him, still not the G.o.a.t. tho.”

Fans on RapRadar also chimed in with a bevy of supportive comments as well. “Eminem Show came out two years later with lower sales, but still went diamond quicker? And MMLP only JUS going diamond? Well That’s domestic but still I thought it woulda been diamond years ago. CONGRATS to the white boy tho. Two domestic Diamond LPs. Who does that?” said one commenter. Another fan added, “The masterpiece.. remember hearing this for the first time.. blew our minds away.”

Congratulations, Eminem. Two Diamond certified albums in one year certainly is mind-blowing.

Apparently the next album in line is Encore currently stands at 7 Million, then TSSLP at 6 million.
