Eminem and Rihanna’s powerhouse anthem “The Monster” has crossed the 10-million-unit mark in the US, making it eligible for a prestigious diamond certification from the RIAA.
Featured on “The Marshall Mathers LP 2”, “The Monster” was a dominant force upon release, debuting at No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topping charts in 12 countries. The song marked the fourth collaboration between Eminem and Rihanna, following the global sensation “Love the Way You Lie”. With its introspective lyrics about the price of fame and hauntingly catchy hook, “The Monster” quickly became a fan favourite.
The track was last officially certified 8× Platinum in March 2022. Since then, its continued popularity has pushed it past the 10-million-unit threshold, making it one of Eminem’s biggest-selling singles. The song has already earned diamond status in Brazil and 11× Platinum in Australia, and now it’s poised to join Eminem’s growing list of diamond-certified hits in the US.
With “The Monster” hitting this milestone, Eminem extends his legacy as one of the most decorated artists in RIAA history. Now, it is only a matter of time before the official certification makes it Diamond — decorating yet another classic in his catalogue with a sparkling gem.
