One of the most influential industry publications presents multiple lists ranking artists’ performances in 2022. Eminem’s presence on them is heavy.
First of all, the most prestigious The Billboard 200 chart that summarises album’s sales this year has four Marshall’s project listed:
45. Curtain Call: The Hits
166. The Eminem Show
178. Curtain Call 2
191. Music to Be Murdered By
To see on the list both Em’s compilations, including the latest one. released earlier this year, was not surprising. “The Eminem Show” remains his all-time favourite and deserves to be up there, especially after Shady Records boosted its sales with the 20th anniversary edition. It was a pleasant surprise to find that Em’s album “Music to Be Murdered By”, released in 2020, made it to the list of bestselling records of 2022.
By the way, there were only two Marshall’s albums featured on this chart the previous year: Music to Be Murdered By (No.46) and Curtain Call: The Hits (No.48).
On the Billboard Global 200, which counts songs, not albums, Marshall features three of his hits:
63. Without Me
117. The Real Slim Shady
120. Lose Yourself
On the Catalog Artists year-end chart, Em is ranking at No.8.
Meanwhile, on the Catalog Albums year-end chart, Curtain Call: The Hits occupies No.5.
Eminem is sixth on the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales Artists chart, 16th on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Artists chart, 18th on the Top Rap Artists list, 25th on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Artists, and fourth on the Rap Digital Song Sales Artists ranking. He has two projects listed on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart — Curtain Call: The Hits (No.22) and Curtain Call 2 (No.59). Curtain Call: The Hits is also listed at No.16 on the Top Rap Albums year-end chart.
Not too bad at all for an artist, who has not released a new album for over two years.
