Eminem Breaks YouTube Record

Eminem has broken virtual history on YouTube.com by becoming the first hip-hop artist to score one billion hits.

The hitmaker's 28 official promos, including Not Afraid and Love The Way You Lie, have proved to be hugely popular with fans on the video-sharing website, and on Monday, Eminem became only the third musician to achieve the massive feat.

The only other stars who can lay claim to the honour are Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber - the teenager remains the all-time most-viewed artist on YouTube.com with 1.3 billion views, according to FameCount.com.
