The album sold 510,000 copies in its second week and eventually became the fifth best-selling album in the US of 2002. The project also featured one of Eminem’s greatest tracks “Lose Yourself”, which earned him an Oscar for Best Original Song at the 75th Academy Awards.

The Eminem starrer film was a critical and box office success. It opened at No. 1 in the US with $51.3 million grossed in its opening weekend and an eventual total of $242.9 million worldwide.
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has now certified “Lose Yourself” 13 times platinum, while the 8 Mile album is presently 4 times platinum. This year, Eminem’s projects are all marking significant anniversaries, not just 8 Mile. His critically acclaimed third album, The Eminem Show, turned 20 in June as well.
Shady celebrated the event by releasing a 20th anniversary extended version that included a few hit tracks that had not yet been released, like as the Ja Rule diss track “Bump Heads” with 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, and Tony Yayo.
