Like the Los Angeles Rams, who recently hosted their Super Bowl Championship parade in L.A., Eminem should prepare for a procession of his own in the United Kingdom following a historic commercial album sales win.
On Thursday (February 17), Forbes reported Eminem became the first Hip Hop MC to join the elite group of less than a dozen artists who have releases that have spent 500 weeks on the U.K. albums chart.
Eminem’s 2005 Curtain Call: The Hits compilation album debuted at No. 1 on the U.K. albums chart upon release and spent and spent an additional five weeks at the top spot before living another two months inside the top 10 of the chart. The 24-song project, which also spawned Eminem’s 10 single “When I’m Gone,” that peaked at the No. 4 position, reached the 500-week milestone at the No. 15 spot.
As Curtain Call: The Hits celebrates a 500-week residency on the albums chart, Eminem continues to enjoy decades of success in the overseas market where 10 of the 11 studio albums he has released so far have reached the No. 1 spot on the albums chart.
Eminem’s debut album, The Slim Shady LP, was the only project of his that didn’t earn a chart-topping debut and went on to reach the No. 10 mark on the charts following its release in 1999. However, his follow-up album The Marshall Mathers LP, became the 55th best-selling album of all time in the U.K. and has sold over 2.46 million copies along with going eight-times multi-platinum since 2000.
In addition to his historic win in the U.K., the Shady Records CEO has also regained a considerable amount of traction in the United States following his appearance in the Dr. Dre-orchestrated Pepsi Super Bowl LVI Halftime show alongside 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar and Mary J. Blige.
Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg & Kendrick Lamar's Streams Explode Following Super Bowl Show
Along with major streaming increases, Eminem’s “Lose Yourself,” cracked the top 10 of the U.S. Spotify chart for the first time. Back in October of 2020, the Oscar-winning 8 Mile soundtrack hit became the first rap song from the 2000s to surpass one billion streams on the platform.
This dude is still on fire 20+ years later. He’s a volcano at this point. Still getting bigger. For every person that says they don’t listen to him, 5 new people are gained as fans cuz the numbers show it. Fucking bravo. He worded his level perfectly in The Gospel with Dre.
u whites love em
Not white pussy
It’s not just white people who love him. It’s not just white people who give him the credit and respect he has more than earned. Just like it wasn’t a white person who made the racist comment I’m replying to right now. And it’s not white people who make the majority of the racist comments that are constantly being made either. And what does race have to do with raw talent and mad skills or the people who appreciate that raw talent and those mad skills????? There are black people who do heavy metal music and nobody’s slinging racial comments at them and their fans, even though the heavy metal genre is predominantly made up of white artists and fans. Funny how when racist comments are aimed at white people nobody says a word ( well, until right now anyway), but if just one white person was to say one racist thing they would be the top story on every channel everywhere for who knows how long afterwards and all white people would be persecuted, not just the one who said it…It’s petty BS and it’s ridiculous and it needs to just stop ffs!!!
I don’t know why my comment says it’s a reply to 35 years loving hip hop because I clicked the reply button on the “u whites love em” comment posted by someone using the word Me as their name. So if who ever moderates these comments can fix that I would appreciate it since it was messed up on their end…
And?
I almost forgot about Dead Wrong. It was a big deal having him on that song growing up.
Eminem is the goat
That man was a dope rapper, after relapse is was over, whe he started working with other producers and pop singers like Rihanna, skylor, pink, drake, lil Wayne. That’s why nobody respects him anymore, he should put the outsidaz, D12, Obie, Snoop, Xzibit, 50 Cent on he’s albums instead and use Dre beats and the producers from mmlp and sslp.
His newest album is the exact thing u just said he needs to do … minus 50
Oh so there’s d12 feature on it? Crickets..
Eminem is a washed up cuckold
