Eminem now shares company with Pink Floyd, Bob Marley, and Metallica on the shortlist of albums with 750 weeks on the Billboard 200.
The 2005 greatest hits collection is now the first hip-hop album in history to spend that long on the chart, and one of the very few most enduring titles of all time.
Curtain Call joins an exclusive club that includes just five other albums: Pink Floyd’s “The Dark Side of the Moon” (990 weeks), Bob Marley and the Wailers’ “Legend” (901), Journey’s “Greatest Hits” (871), Metallica’s self-titled release (803), and Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits” (760).
This week, Eminem’s set sits at No. 48, moving another 15,500 equivalent units, with 1,400 of those coming from pure sales. Even as he continues to release new material, the lasting pull of Slim Shady’s classics keeps Curtain Call alive on the charts nearly two decades later.
