Stats courtesy of DJROBBLOG based on data from the weekly Billboard 200 charts 1 albums on the Billboard 200 chart: Artist Here’s the running tally of rap artists with the longest span of No. 1s: their first – Beats, Rhymes & Life – in August 1996, and their second – We Got It From Here…Thank You 4 Your Service – in December 2016 (after the group’s Phife Dawg passed away earlier that year). But their span of 20 years, three months and two weeks only encompasses two No. Only one hip-hop act has a longer stretch of No. 1 – The Marshall Mathers LP – in June 2000 and the most recent – Music To Be Murdered By in February. That’s a span of 19 years and eight months between his first No. Every Eminem album since then has reached No. If Billboard had counted Murdered By – Side B (Deluxe) as its own separate entry, it would have been Em’s first album to miss the top position since his second set, The Slim Shady LP, which peaked at No. 3 ranking (it also saves Em some face with that infamous Lil Pump diss earlier this week essentially calling Shady washed up after early dismal sales reports). But with Billboard tracking the new entry as a combined package with the older version, Eminem avoids the fate of having his No. That’s a significant drop-off for any new set of Eminem songs, whether paired with older tracks or not.
The first Music To Be Murdered By sold more than 267,000 album equivalent units in its debut week back in late January (prompting its February debut at the top), while the current Side B (Deluxe) composite project sells roughly 94,000 units in the tracking week that ended at midnight Christmas morning. The newly enhanced album, Music To Be Murdered By – Side B (Deluxe), is tracked for charting purposes with the original, which was released earlier in 2020 and was his most recent No. Only his first album, 1996’s Infinite, missed the chart altogether back when no one knew who Shady was. Of note: all but one of his 12 albums have charted, with the last ten of them reaching No. The deluxe version of Eminem’s latest album – his twelfth overall – moves 199-3 on the chart, by virtue of a combined ranking with the original version of Music To Be Murdered By. Eminem’s latest album, Music To Be Murdered By – Side B (Deluxe) moves to No.
The year 2020 hasn’t yet ended, but hip-hop music will likely top all other genres in consumption percentage for the fourth year in a row when the final numbers are released in the next few weeks.īut even great year-end figures won’t conceal the fact that there may be a chink in hip-hop’s armor as indicated by the latest weekly Billboard 200 album tally.
