- Eminem is back
- He has dethroned Taylor Swift
- THIS is how
In what can only be described as a coup in the music world, Eminem (49, rapper) has once again proven why he's a force to be reckoned with. This article delves into the details of this chart-topping phenomenon, exploring the records shattered along the way and the fierce competition in the music industry.
Swift's Record-Breaking Run Ends
His 12th studio album, 'The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce),' not only debuted at No. 1 but also knocked pop sensation Taylor Swift off her pedestal. Swift's album, which enjoyed a historic run, was no match for Eminem's latest masterpiece, signaling a seismic shift in the music landscape.
Taylor Swift made waves with 'The Tortured Poets Department,' setting a new standard for album streams with a whopping 891.34 million in its first week. Her album's performance was a testament to her unshakeable popularity, holding the No. 1 spot for three months and tying with Morgan Wallen's 2023 hit album for consecutive weeks at the top.
Swift’s 'The Tortured Poets Department,' meanwhile, slips to No. 4 following a record-breaking 12-week streak at No. 1. It held the post with unrivaled availability in variants — multiple different vinyl, CD or cassette versions of an already-released album or EP — that were released across numerous weeks.
However, Eminem's entry has rewritten the narrative, pushing Swift's album to No. 4.
The music industry watched in awe as two of its biggest titans clashed on the charts. K-pop sensation ENHYPHEN and country rebel Zach Bryan also made their marks, securing the second and third spots, respectively.
Yet, it was Eminem's 'The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)' that stole the show, marking his 11th album to hit No. 1.
