While details on Eminem’s upcoming album, “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)”, are still under wraps, his greatest hits collection, “Curtain Call,” is making a resurgence.
This project, packed with Shady’s most iconic early tracks, is again proving its staying power.
“Curtain Call” is making its mark across various Billboard charts. It has ascended from No. 53 to No. 49 on the prestigious Billboard 200, a trend that began with the new album’s official announcement. This success is largely driven by streaming, with physical sales, though modest (only 518 physical copies were sold in the US last week), not diminishing its impact.
“Curtain Call” also re-entered the Top Streaming Albums chart, inching its way back to No. 40. This is a strong showing for a compilation album and speaks volumes about the consistent popularity of Eminem’s hits.
As always, the project fares even better in terms of genre-specific rankings. “Curtain Call” cracked the top 20 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, landing at No. 17. It also nearly reached the top 10 on the Top Rap Albums chart, settling at No. 12.
While we wait for news on “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)”, this chart resurgence reminds us of Eminem’s undeniable influence. Slim Shady has never left; his consistent presence on the chart tables shows that the public is ready to consume more of his music.
