Eminem, the renowned rapper, has reached a significant milestone with his album 'Curtain Call: The Hits' spending an impressive 700 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart. This accomplishment places Eminem in an elite group of musicians, as only six albums in U.S. history have achieved this feat.
The album, which features Eminem's biggest and most popular singles, continues to resonate with audiences, solidifying its status as one of the most enduring compilations in music history. Eminem joins the ranks of iconic artists such as Bob Marley, Pink Floyd, and Journey, who have also seen one of their albums reach 700 weeks on the Billboard 200.
Currently, Pink Floyd's 'The Dark Side of the Moon' holds the record for the most weeks spent on the Billboard 200, with 851 weeks. However, Eminem's 'Curtain Call: The Hits' is now the first hip-hop album to achieve the milestone of 700 weeks on the chart, further cementing Eminem's legacy in the music industry.
Other notable albums that have surpassed the 700-week mark on the Billboard 200 include Journey's 'Greatest Hits' (821 weeks), Metallica's self-titled album (758 weeks), and Creedence Clearwater Revival's 'Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits' (710 weeks).
While Eminem's 'Curtain Call: The Hits' continues to make history on the Billboard 200, the rapper's latest album, 'The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce),' debuted at No. 1 on the chart earlier this year, showcasing Eminem's enduring popularity and chart-topping success.
As Eminem's 'Curtain Call: The Hits' celebrates its remarkable achievement of 700 weeks on the Billboard 200, it stands as a testament to the rapper's lasting impact on the music industry and his dedicated fan base.
