An expanded ‘Eminem Show’ is released

Eminem is celebrating the 20th anniversary of “The Eminem Show” with an expanded edition of the album, which features previously unreleased tracks, live recordings and instrumental tracks from the smash 2002 set.

The collection’s 18 bonus tracks include four previously unreleased cuts, “Stimulate,” “The Conspiracy Freestyle,” “Bump Heads” and “Jimmy, Brian and Mike,” as well as instrumentals of hits such as “Without Me,” “Sing for the Moment” and “Cleanin’ Out My Closet” and live versions of the “Marshall Mathers LP” tracks “The Way I Am” and “The Real Slim Shady.”

The full expanded edition of “The Eminem Show” is now available on streaming services.

“The Eminem Show,” Eminem’s third major label studio album, was released May 26, 2002, bumped up from its originally scheduled June 4 release date after the album was leaked on the internet and peer-to-peer sites.

The wonky release schedule meant it only logged one day of sales activity during its initial sales frame, but it still managed to debut at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top 200 albums chart and went on to sell more than 1.3 million copies its first full week in stores. It spent a total of six nonconsecutive weeks atop the Billboard chart on its way to becoming the bestselling album of the year.

It continues to sell well to this day; it is No. 163 on this week’s Billboard albums chart.

The expanded “Eminem Show” isn’t all Eminem currently has on his plate: “The King and I,” a track he recorded with Ceelo Green, will be a part of the soundtrack to next month’s “Elvis” movie, alongside tracks from Jack White, Kacey Musgraves, Stevie Nicks, Tame Impala, Doja Cat, Jazmine Sullivan and more.
