More than 20 years into his career, Eminem is still breaking records on a regular basis.
Slim Shady’s March 2 concert at Westpac Stadium in Wellington, New Zealand set a new attendance record for the venue, according to the New Zealand Herald. It was also Westpac Stadium’s fastest concert sell-out.
46,474 fans attended Eminem’s show, topping the previous high mark set by pop star Robbie Williams in 2001. The Williams concert was attended by 42,500 people.
“Eminem is one of the greatest showmen in the world, with a fiercely loyal fan base that continues to grow with each tour,” promoter Paul Dainty said in a press statement. “He is no stranger to selling out stadium shows, but he is continuing to break attendance records across both New Zealand and Australia, which is just phenomenal.”
Shady Records artist Boogie, Eminem’s Bad Meets Evil partner Royce Da 5’9 and Australian Hip Hip group The Hilltop Hoods also performed at the show. The event was the final stop of Slim Shady’s 2019 Rapture Tour, which began in February.

and yet is still boring
how the hell can you say Eminem is boring? he is the least boring artist i have ever some across and i’ve been around a long time! go take your childish hate somewhere else
Ja Rule will break that record with Pain is Love 3 tour this summer
Looooooooooooooooooooooooool
Lmfao. Break the lowest attendants record 50 probably buy the tickets in the front row.
Who TF is Ja Rule.?
Well New Zealand is a 70% all white country, and they’re probably bored to death out there. Beautiful country though.
B.S…Maori’s still rule N.Z
i love the cornballs in this site that discredit Em. he makes and breaks records, your favorite artist doesnt, theres a reason for that lol.
Preach.
Yeah he breaks records in New Zealand LMAO… TF outta here you and liquid sword swallower!!!
You clearly know nothing about Eminems track record of awards and accomplishments. I’m entertained by you’re comments degrading who lots would consider the GOAT in many ways so dont stop. Let me guess, MGK and his big whopping 22,000$ producing album ? was much more successful then Kamikaze? Or wait it must’ve have been a fluke that kamikaze went #1 in 70 countries within 24 hours with no hype, promotions or major features
Does this cuck ever even perform in America anymore? The last American tour he did with more than 3 dates was the anger management tour for Encore back in like 04-05. He still headlines the occasional music festival but triggers the teenage girls (the only demo who still pays to see him) with the gunshots his dj plays.
True we’re probably why he sale his cds
ok you’re so wrong about that! he was at a music festival last May 2018 and I was there and i’m 53 and my kids 16 & 20 were as well. We were sooo lucky he did the festival cause i got to hear all of the songs he’s playin now in other countries less Kamikazi (dammit) and the full songs not parts of them due to time & amount of hits he has. The concert was as long as any normal convert and there were people as far as the eye could see of ALL ages no lie. they had to shut down a shit ton of streets all over Boston for him and his rabid fan base.
wow you couldn’t be anymore wrong than that crap you just spewed! he was here in Boston May 2018 at a musical festival THANK GOD cause I got to see him!! I’m 53, my kids 16 and 20 both boys were there and honestly you couldn’t see the end of the amount of people and seriously all ages and races. it was amazing to see not only him but all those people. they had to shut down a lot of streets all around the festival to try & get the people out of there safely there were so many. Great part is he played all of his greatest hits (cept Kamikazi dammit) and they were full songs and the concert was an hour and a half long. I got soaked, had bruised ribs for over a week because it was absolutely packed – you could not move at all (kinda scary but worth).
M is white. The crowd is mostly white. He should do very well. If m can’t sell to his own people then he is in trouble. In opinion, m will never be one of the best. He is a great lyricist but his pop albums take away from his credibility. M is just another elvis Presley. A white artist acts black to line his pockets with cash.
Race has nothing to do with it..this guy worked hard his whole career and still out working artists today..majority of his black peers in the rap game even put him next to biggie and pac
M works hard!!!!!! Once m got on his path to success was much easier than black artists. Most white fans get their blackness from secondary means. M provides that perfectly. White fans love to see white males act black. They relate better to a white person selling blackness. Therefore the middle man is cut out of the picture. While most (real) black acts don’t sell out and get pay less. WELCOME TO AMERIKKKA.
Race has nothing to do with it. Well, you must believe in fairy tales too. This is AMMERIKKKA! Of course, it plays a role in this. White people have the privilege of never dealing with racism in this country. They created it. In my opinion, your not an authority on racism in AMERIKKKA UNLESS you are a racist. I didn’t say you are a racist to make it perfectly clear. Black people are experts on racism in this country. Put yourself in the shoes of black person then we can talk about black problems in AMERIKKKA.
Right, because white people don’t music from black artists. As if no black people buy Em’s music. His own people…you mean hiphop fans?
If you ever listened to him, you would realize he has more love and passion for hiphop than many of the black artists in the game, especially a lot of the YouTube generation, who obviously are doing the music simply to cash in. But please, make as many statements as you like about him stealing the music to line his pockets, regardless of how false they may be. Lol, this dude couldn’t get signed in the beginning because labels thought a white rapper was too risky and wouldn’t sell. Read up on the history and then make a judgment. Is he one of the greatest? Absolutely, along with SEVERAL black artists. As if his whiteness has anything to do with that. As if every white person only listens to Em and no other rappers because he is white. If that is true, those people are more ignorant than hating on Em because he is white. Believe it or not, there are many white people who love hiphop and couldn’t care less about the artist’s race.
I love this site but dear lord lol, the Em stannery is real here. Who TF cares that he set a concert record in friggin New Zealand LOL?!
you just don’t get it do you lol it’s news worthy cause he’s not from New Zealand or anywhere even close to it. that’s why people give af. With the amount of fans that dude has all over the world all ages all races – you’re sure to find Stans everywhere!! get use to it
You r all such haters! Lol. U suck.. em is the best lyricist ever. If u do t think so u r in denial.. lol
Levels to this shit, I got an elevator
You could never say to me I’m not a fuckin’ record breaker
I sound like a broken record every time I break a record
Nobody could ever take away the legacy I made, I never cater
“So, let me entertain you like Robbie Williams” – Eminem, “Stimulate”
Ya buggin…..when em did Venom live on tv on top of a building with helicopters filming him…..i got a years salary on em against anybody ya wanna get….and I’m a black man talkin…..fool!!!!!
Always The King!! ????????❤️❤️❤️ The kid just can do no wrong ❤️
Where does Whiny Shady get his tees shirts from and why does he always wear those gay Nike pants?
What a sad life you must live. Mad about the dudes pants. lmao
What a sad life you must live defending the pants his dick you wish you could suck are in.
That’s awesome! Another win for hip hop! I only wish they would be open to other hip hop acts in Australia bctheres always reports about groups protesting the culture.
Those fans are not hip hop fans. They know very little about hip hop. They just want a white artist acting black. M should sell the most records in a mostly white country. He is a non threating white male acting black. It gets no better that in corporate amerikkka. White males love fronting like their black until the police turn them back into white males. If u want to act black then feel the struggles of a black male in AMERIKKKA(MOST WANTED). An ice cube reference. I bet m would sell more AMW records than ice cube did.
u sound dumb as hell. Dont assume to know whether or not people are “real” hip hop fans or not. There are probably people at that concert who know more about hiphop than u ever will
You are right some of the people in the crowd know more than me. But most of them don’t care about hip hop. They love pop artists like m. Let’s face it, m did sell out albums therefore he is pop star. If the record sales start to drop like most artists, l bet he will go back to his hip hop roots. M is just a corn ball with wack pop beats.
WTF you even talking about “Yeah”? We’re open to all hip hop acts down here including a ton of local groups and artists that you probably never even heard of (such as Hilltop Hoods for example who opened for Em at many of his Australian shows). Kendrick was selling out shows down here in 2012 before plenty of Americans even knew who he was, and there is a very diverse range of U.S. hip hop artists who tour this country. Anyone not living in a cave should know that music is instantly global. Stick to your coasts or ignorant stereotypes or whatever because people overseas aren’t interested in your regional bullshit or your racial bullshit we just love good music. P.S. earlier today I was in the mood for a classic so I threw on Death Certificate and followed it up with Guerillas in tha Mist. And by the way you can have Bryant Gumbel back.
I DON’T hate M because he is white( i hate bad whites only). I like the beastie boys( one of the greatest of all time) when they first came out. The beastie boys never sold out the trade like m. Let’s face it, m is a pop star not a hip hop star anymore. M is a great lyricist without a doubt. Why does he need to do pop albums? M is white and doesn’t have to sell out the art to make more money. Most the country is white so it isn’t necessary to go pop. I guess the black audience isn’t as important anymore now that he has made it. Once he gain the credibility from black people then he move on the POP AUDIENCE . The beastie boys never did sell out to get paid. The beastie boys have true love for hip hop music. M is just a fraud . He thinks growing up poor in the trailer park makes him black somehow. The beastie boys stay with their mostly black fans and expanded their fan base to include more whites without going pop. I like other white rappers too( expect the insane clown posse) that stay true to the game. Elvis Presley should be very proud of m. Elvis showed how to get paid by using black dancing to the white crowds and never gave blacks any credit. The king of rock n roll and(so called) king of the hip hop are phonies.
I strongly disagree.
Em never went full pop and keeps delivering bars, others would kill for.
If he was black, you would be kissing the grounds he stands on.
He opened up rapmusic for a whiter audience, thats correct.
But, In my opinion, he made way for a lot of artists, to make a lot more money, cause he was the gatewaydrug for white nineties kids, that actually brought tons of money with them and stuck to all types of rapmusic.
He was brought in the game by a black man.
He always had mostly black artists on his label.
He changed the game, but didnt pervert it.
I dont think youre doing him right by comparing him to elvis.
I think m said that he is the worst thing since Elvis Presley on the first album. Full pop? Most hip hop artists do not sell out like m. Dr.dre and m are frauds. M is white in mostly white country so why the need to turn his back on hip hop. Real hip hop artists do not go pop. M is the worst thing since elvis. His pop albums make me sick. M doesn’t care about hip hop fans anymore. M is a full pop star.
Dan ur wrong! M sold out the game. White artists will sell more than black artists. M would sell more than ice cube if he did amerikkka’s most wanted by cube. White people would rather see a white person acting black. The white rapper acts black but he doesn’t scare white people away. Vanilla ice and marky marky acted black too until it didn’t pay to be black anymore. M will be the same at some point too. It is just a front to gain the black audience. black people provide the street cred. Then white artist starts to sell out to have more white fans(pop fans). U can keep m. He is the latest white artist to used black culture then move on to the white crowds(pop audience) that know very little about hip hop.
Agree and well written!
so what can be done about it? if I was most of them I would just quit. there is no creativity in control.
I don’t know. This problem is way over my head. If the country was mostly black then black artists would get the respect they deserve. In racist amerikkka, white people are culture vultures. No, i don’t hate non racists white people but it is truth that white music wouldn’t exist in its current form without whites stealing and then claiming their the kings of black art. ie: elvis Presley and mm. I would ‘t say black people cook better Italian food than italians. I would never say that black people are the kings of cooking Italian food. It sounds crazy, right. No white artists came be considered the best in a black art form.
Ima OG fan who is BLACK,but this isn’t IMPRESSIVE. He’s the number one selling rapper of all time in a genre that was pimped out by his kind(of course with some black folks help selling out) started in a country stolen by whites. Why wouldn’t he have large crowds in predominately WHITE places? I’m not saying EM ain’t dope or a legend,but too many folks have tried to force his goatness or popularity in HIP HOP,when he’s only ever been HUGELY influential to whites. He is true to the art of emceeing & respectful to the legends which is appreciated,but stop reaching like he selling out places where minorities are more present than white folks,believe it or not,HIP HOP is/was a black music artform 1st & foremost.
I could not have said this any better. I thank you!!!
The most interesting fact is that most EM fans barely listen to hip hop …always found it weird
That’s actually more dope. He’s able to surpass musical preferences. He has been the key to hip-hop for many generations, let alone people.
No…It means that white people only like him because he’s white and good and “can’t relate to anything the blacks say”. That is lame
White people is the bigger hop hop audience, you only need to go to a hip hop concert, the most streamed artist is black, the higher certificated solo album is from a black artist, the higher female grossing tour is from a black artist. Keep lying I think it’s your point.
First of all, he is not hip hop! He is a Pop Artist!
Em is a Picasso. Lyrical genius and industry Slayer. Aint no one (besides the fools like MGK, ja, etc) that will step up to him. This guy killed the game. To be even more blunt, none of the OGs stepped up to him in battles when this whole thing of rap was just about that back in the day. Rap took a shit and pretty much died. Bravo to a master that became a mister. Y’all still master’s in the game.
You’re right….he’s been very fortunate
Could’ve sworn Deathrows rappers threatened to kill him and his daughter on the “Fuck Dre” song that stole his hook and Dre’s beat. His response??? IDK… West coast maybe you should listen to that diss track and ask yourself why he went after MGK for an old comment about his grown ass daughter but, didn’t respond to the rappers threatening to kidnap her? It’s all fun and games until it gets gangsta!!! It’s Koo go back to blasting your “My name is” song through the streets of Cali . That’s not pop it’s real gangster shiii bro… LMAO…
Master the game. Yeah right! I have an easy comparison to solve this issue. Italians make the best italian food, RIGHT. All Italians would agree. Other races duplicate the taste of italian food but none better. Who makes the best black music? Hmmmmm! Black people. M is just duplicating black people and artists, similar to elvis. If m is the best artist in black music then blacks are better cooks than italians. This can’t be true because blacks are just copying the originals.(ITALIANS) M can’t be the best rapper because he is jacking black culture. M copys black males real well. Vanilla ice and marky marky played the black role too. But look at them now. Marky marky and vanilla ice turned back into white again. IT IS JUST AN ACT TO GET PAYED. Living in a trailer park doesn’t make you black. Your just a poor white ACTING BLACK. No disrespect to poor whites.
All white audience of course…who cares? Those are Cat and Hat Rhymes…
Of course New Zealand is just bursting at the seams with people of other races who could have been there.
Pop artist!!!! I will say this one last time. Eminem is a Pop Artist.
He is not like Kendrick, oh I forgot, maybe his singles with Taylor Swift, U2, Maroon 5, Beyonce, Rihanna, Sia, SZA, The weeknd, Alicia Keys, Imagine Dragons, Robin Thicke, Solange, Dido… Doesn’t count for you, but in the real life maybe you need to check facts before.
Kendrick’s songs actually sound good while Em washed
I know right haters gonna hate. If he had no haters, that’s when there’s a problem.
I know right haters gonna hate. If he had no haters, that’s when there’s a problem
The people who run this site need to get Slim Shadys dick out there mouth. The song that launched his career was “My Name Is” a fuckin pop song. FACT!!! After the fall of Deathrow and Suge’s incarceration Jimmy Ivione sold his stake in Deathrow invested in Aftermath and helped the government make the rap music message less hostile and safer. We ended up with a white rapper that sounded like Big Bird running around dressed as a super hero singing “I’m the real slim shady”. LMAO… Meanwhile Cardi B just broke attendance records at the show she did in Houston this week. In America in Texas, no mention on that though? Instead of being as Obsessed with Marshall as he was with Mariah Carey how about y’all report on the rappers that actually are about that life instead of the “Tools” the government used to destroy the music. If this message is to deep for you to understand, maybe you should go work for Teen Heart Throb magazine your reporting on him will fit in perfect over there I’m sure.
Lol not sure what’s worse the article on this dead ass site , you typing up a storm of bullshit on this dead ass site, or me replying on this dead ass site.
The fact you responded kills the whole point u tried to make.
They probably reported on Eminem instead of Cardi-B because he is an actual artist who is beyond talented and relevant worldwide, while Cardi-B is a no talent flash in the pan piece of trash. But to each his own.
They probably reported on him because like you they would love to suck his dick.
I don’t want to suck his dick. I just respect him as an artist. On the contrary, I would love to fuck Cardi-B, but I would rather suck your dick than listen to her music.
Who you trying to kid? You sound like a ignorant MGK dick sucking troll. There’s no way you’re stupid enough to where in your conscious you truly believe Em is a joke and deserves no respect in the rap game. Dudes a legend and has accomplished damn near everything possible in his career and beyond
Why are you sharing your homosexual fantasies and it sounds like by your name you like it deep down south
DeepDownSouth in your momma’s pussy fuckboi…Now go slurp on some Slim Shady juice and eat a big bowl of dick.
Pac’s beats sucked. Em and many others > pac
Pac’s Shoes were only aight, nothing too cool
this is what pop artists do. this shit isnt news!
You are a little confused, maybe is the hate, I don’t know any 46 years old pop artist selling out stadiums.
Eminem only sells out in white countries, how come you never hear about him selling out in Zimbabwe or Nigeria, or even South Africa. How come he hasn’t been spotted helping the people in Africa like Akon, 50, Snoop Dogg, and drake????
And if he did do that you’d still be in the comments whining about something else lol
Why should he be helping the people in Africa? Are you?
Ja The Ruler is going to destroy that record 10 times over with his RuleTheWorld album dropping in Summer 2019. Believe That.
“I sound like a broken record every time I break a record..” – Marshall.. Props to a living legend. #Salute
OK so now people have an issue with Eminem selling out stadiums with mostly white people lol. Go to any hip-hop show, it probably is mostly white people anyway. OK Eminem may not be influential to black people or hip-hop, (Kendrick Lamar and J.Cole must be full of shit then). Lil Yachty, Lil Pump, Migos, who else may be more influential to the culture but is it positive? Like it or lump it, Eminem is one of the greatest to ever rhyme, even I understand his music isn’t to everyones taste, he’s made plenty that I don’t like but he respects the culture more than most and a lot of the hate seems to come from delusional fans. And on another note, I never considered Eminem to be Hip-Hop, to me if it’s not Boom-Bap then it’s not Hip-Hop, everything else is a sub-genre and I’d much rather listen to the one Eminem is in than the one the Lil’s are in. I am white but have always been a fan of the lyricists and would take that over trap any day!
souless, fake storys, bad jokes, monotone, asshole, boring
If this country was mostly black (not white), mm wouldn’t break any records. If Blacks had the same economic privilege that whites enjoy minus the racism. Mm doesn’t represent black life. He just acts black. In my opinion, blacks would laugh at him because he is too corny. Will the real slim shady please stand up…yeah that sounds real hip. Mm works in a mostly white country but black people expect more from REAL black artists. Jimmy hendrix isn’t like that much either in the black community. Today’s rapper(2000-2019), migos, all of the lil assholes and others wouldn’t survive either. Watered music isn’t our style thats why most blacks don’t like white music, in my opinion. It’s a completely different world when blacks don’t need to sell out to whites for more money. In a black world, white artists would need to sound more black musically to survive. Please do not get mad, i like good whites and even love some of them. I can’t front some white music is very good, its just my opinion. At least, i have the guts to really say what i mean. People like to hide their true feelings until they get mad. I just want to start a conversation thats real without insults.
RAP GOD! Breaking records and making his haters mad still after twenty years hahahaha I LOVE IT! Keep it up Eminem 🙂
