Eminem’s latest album, “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce),” dethroned Taylor Swift’s record-breaking “The Tortured Poets Department” after an impressive 12-week reign atop the Billboard 200 chart.
While Swift’s album shattered streaming records in its debut week, Eminem’s arrival marks his 11th No. 1 record, solidifying his position as a chart-topping powerhouse. “The Tortured Poets Department” slips to No. 4, but its lengthy stay at the peak signifies Swift’s enduring popularity.
It’s worth noting that Stevie Wonder’s legendary 1976 album, “Songs in the Key of Life,” still holds the record for most consecutive weeks at No. 1 (13), a testament to its timeless appeal.
