Eminem took the top spot on the Billboard album chart, knocking Taylor Swift and her album «The Tortured Poets Division» off the top for a week starting July 21, 2024. Marshall Mathers, 51, claimed the top spot after releasing his new album «Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace)». Taylor’s album had dominated the charts since its release in April.
After releasing her 11th album «The Tortured Poets Division», - Taylor remained at the top of the chart, preventing artists like Billie Eilish, Charli XCX, Zac Bryan, and others from taking the top spot, despite the hype surrounding their albums, Consequence reports. With his 12th album, Eminem earned his 11th number one album, returning after a four-year hiatus since the release of the album «Music to Be Murdered By» in 2020.
Slim Shady’s army, his fans, turned out for the rapper’s final concert in his sharp style. Since his second album «The Marshall Mathers LP», - Eminem has topped the charts with each of his albums. Although his more recent albums received critical failures, his devoted fans continued to listen to and support his music.
Since the release of Taylor’s album «The Tortured Poets Division» in April, some fans criticized the singer for releasing multiple versions of the album. While other stars were preparing to release new albums, the singer of «All Too Well» released slightly different versions of her new album, leading to a surge in sales among loyal Swift fans. The new albums prevented other artists from taking the top spot on the Billboard charts.
Taylor is the second artist with the most weeks at number one on the Billboard charts. She shares this title with Morgan Wallen, who achieved the same success with his album «One Step at a Time», - according to Forbes. The only artist to ever reach 13 weeks at the top was Stevie Wonder with his seminal album «Songs in the Key of Life»
