Let's Look at All the Eminem Albums in Order

• Year Released: 1996
• Notable Tracks: "Infinite," "313," "Tonite," "Maxine"

In Eminem's debut studio album, Infinite, he kicked off a rap career that would become nothing short of legendary. Across 11 tracks, Em showed off the rap skills he'd acquired by 1996, and for those who are familiar with the rest of his classic discography, it's an absolute joy to see where it all started. If you've never heard this unforgettable project before, here's your chance.

• Year Released: 1999
• Notable Tracks: "My Name Is," "Guilty Conscience (feat. Dr. Dre)," "Role Model"

"HI! MY NAME IS..." This album brought about some of the most iconic Slim Shady songs of all time, and was his debut breakout studio album. This album set precedent for over a decade to come. It went number two in the US, while reaching the top ten in Belgium, Canada, and the UK. It went platinum in five countries, and five-times platinum in the US.

• Year Released: 2000
• Notable Tracks: "Stan (feat. Dido)," "Kill You," "The Way I Am," "The Real Slim Shady," "Bitch Please II (feat. Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Xzibit, Nate Dogg)"

Talk about one of the best Eminem album. "Stan" has become one of the most prolific Eminem songs (and videos) ever made, and for great reason. This album brought Eminem to the very top of the charts around the world, and set the stage for the same to happen over and over again with his eight studio albums since.

• Year Released: 2002
• Notable Tracks: "White America," "Business," "Cleaning Out My Closet," "Without Me," "Sing for the Moment," "Superman (feat. Dina Rae)," "Till I Collapse (feat. Nate Dogg)

The Eminem Show officially has the title for the best Eminem album of all-time (in our book, at least). Have you ever heard "Without Me" and been able to not sing along? Me neither. "Till I Collapse" is on everybody's workout playlist, and for that reason (and many more) has garnered over a billion streams on Spotify alone. This is arguably the most iconic Eminem album to date, both musically and visually.

• Year Released: 2004
• Notable Tracks: "Like Toy Soldiers," "Ass Like That," "Just Lose It," "Mockingbird"

Encore is undoubtedly Eminem at his best; some of his most timeless songs are found within this 20-song LP. If you're over 20 years old, you most likely will remember exactly where you were when you heard some Encore hits, like "Mockingbird," "Just Lose It," and "Like Toy Soldiers." It's yet another high-scoring project, going number one in eight countries, and Platinum in six countries (five times in the US and New Zealand, six times in Australia).

• Year Released: 2009
• Notable Tracks: "Crack a Bottle (feat. 50 Cent, Dr. Dre)," "Beautiful," "Old Time's Sake (feat. Dr. Dre)," "We Made You," "My Mom," "Bagpipes From Baghdad"

Welcome back to the golden age of Eminem, a time where even the worst songs on the project weren't bad to any degree. It topped charts in the US, Australia, Canada, Belgium, Denmark, France, New Zealand, and the UK, scoring a three-times platinum certification from the RIAA. It also went platinum in Australia, the UK, Switzerland, and New Zealand.

• Year Released: 2010
• Notable Tracks: "Not Afraid," "No Love (feat. Lil Wayne)," "Space Bound," "Cinderella Man," "25 to Life," "Love the Way You Lie (feat. Rihanna)"

Recovery brings us to the edge of Eminem in his prime. The album still sounds like him at his peak, but with a bit of a different tone to it: one that was surely more serious. Even though it's stacked with chart-topping songs (as listed above), the whole project is a good listen all the way through. It went number one in the US, Canada, Denmark, New Zealand, and Switzerland. The album was certified as eight-times Platinum by the RIAA.

• Year Released: 2013
• Notable Tracks: "Bad Guy", "Legacy," "Berzerk," "Rap God," "The Monster (feat. Rihanna)"

This project was yet another hit-centric approach to an Eminem release. We're all familiar with a bunch of songs from the album; they were on repeat on the radio for a whole year. It went number one in the US, Australia, Canada, Belgium, Canada, Germany, New Zealand, Switzerland, and the UK.

• Year Released: 2017
• Notable Tracks: "Walk on Water (feat. Beyoncé)," "River (feat. Ed Sheeran)," "Remind Me"

Revival was a great way for Eminem to continue staying on the map, as he still strayed from his roots. He kept his style classic, but the hits with major features kept him at the top of the game - literally. The album went number one in the US, Canada, Denmark, Switzerland, and the UK, with the help of Beyoncé and Ed Sheeran (plus Kehlani, Skylar Grey, Alicia Keys, X Ambassadors, P!nk, and PHresher).

• Year Released: 2018
• Notable Tracks: "Lucky You (feat. Joyner Lucas)," "Fall," "Venom - Music From the Motion Picture," "The Ringer," "Not Alike (feat. Royce Da 5'9")"

As you go further towards the present-day in Eminem's catalog, you'll notice you'll still find his classic style across each project. Kamikaze was not Em's best, but it certainly was not his worst.

• Year Released: 2020
• Notable Tracks: "Godzilla (feat. Juice WRLD)," "Darkness," "Gnat," "Higher," "Unaccommodating (feat. Young M.A)," "You Gon' Learn (feat. Royce Da 5'9" and White Gold)", "Those Kinda Nights (feat. Ed Sheeran)"

Last up on our list of the Eminem albums in order, we have his most recent project. When considering Music to Be Murdered By on its own, it's a faultless project. It's top-tier, from the musicality of it to its numeric performance. However, when you're considering all of Eminem's albums, this is not necessarily his best. That's not a knock to the album, more so just a compliment to this Detroit-born legend and his expansive catalog of incredible music. We can only hope that Shady will be dropping another project in the near-term; if we're lucky, we'll get to see his old style take over.
