Announcing the new accolade, RIAA chairman and CEO Cary Sherman says, "We are delighted to recognise Eminem as the first artist to earn two RIAA Digital Diamond Awards. This singular achievement - earning a Diamond Award on two separate digital songs - is unparalleled."
In addition to the singles, the 42 year old has two diamond-selling albums - The Marshall Mathers LP and The Eminem Show.
