Moreover, the album topped Future and Metro Boomin’s We Don’t Trust You. Which had previously held the highest first-week sales of the year.

Also, rhis album’s debut reinforces Eminem’s dominance in the music world. Coupled with this, The Death of Slim Shady is his 11th album to reach the number one spot.

Anyway, it ties him with musical greats like…

Kanye West, Barbra Streisand, and Bruce Springsteen.

Regardless, only a few artists, such as…

Drake and Taylor Swift, boast more number one albums on the Billboard 200 Chart.

While Eminem’s 700-week record on Billboard is an impressive feat. It’s just one of many accomplishments in his prolific career.

From breaking streaming records to topping the charts with new releases, Eminem’s influence continues to expand.
