While Drake updates his numbers with a new album, it is a good day to revise Marshall’s achievement.
The official Billboard Charts social media account refreshed the list of the artists with the most No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200. Drake just broke the tie with Taylor Swift and moved a step up, having bagged 13 No.1 albums. So far, only eight music acts have landed ten or more of their albums atop the chart. Interestingly, the half of this list, four names, represent hip hop:
The Beatles — 19
Jay-Z — 14
Drake— 13
Taylor Swift — 12
Barbra Streisand — 11
Bruce Springsteen — 11
Eminem — 10
Kanye West — 10
Garth Brooks, Kenny Chesney, Madonna, and Rolling Stones all have nine No. 1 albums in their respective catalogues.
It is an excellent reminder of Marshall’s massive role in the music industry that came just in time, on Em’s birthday. It is an excellent reminder of Marshall’s massive role in the music industry that came just in time, on Em’s birthday. Marshall is not even the one to climb to the top. All Eminem’s major label albums have debuted at No.1. The most recent one to do that was “Music to Be Murdered By” in 2020. It feels like a good time to update this record for Slim Shady as well.
