Eminem Slays the Charts, “The Death Of Slim Shady” Becomes His 11th No. 1 Album
Eminem’s latest album, The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce), has stormed the charts, securing his 11th No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200. With a staggering 281K album-equivalent units sold in its first week, Eminem has broken Taylor Swift’s impressive 2024 record of 12 consecutive chart-topping weeks with The Tortured Poets Department. This marks the largest debut for any hip-hop album this year.
This achievement ties the Detroit rap icon with legends Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand, and Kanye West for the fifth-most No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200. The only artists ahead of them are Drake (13 No. 1 albums), Jay-Z and Taylor Swift (14 each), and The Beatles (19).
Despite mixed critical reviews, The Death Of Slim Shady has resonated with fans, proving more popular than some of Eminem’s other post-2000 releases. The album’s intricate layers and hidden meanings have sparked endless discussions and theories among listeners, including the intriguing idea that the album might reveal a different narrative when played in reverse.
Eminem’s dominance isn’t limited to album sales. He reigns supreme on Spotify with around 86 million monthly listeners, outpacing Kendrick Lamar, who recently surpassed Drake with 75 million monthly listeners. Eminem’s commercial success and influence in the rap game remain unparalleled, cementing his legacy as a hip-hop titan.
As fans continue to unravel the complexities of The Death Of Slim Shady, Eminem’s ability to engage and captivate his audience beyond a superficial level is undeniable. Whether you’re a devoted fan or a casual listener, there’s no denying the impact and significance of this milestone in Eminem’s illustrious career.
