In this year pure album sales dominated by pop stars and K-pop bands, only two hip hop artists have managed to break into the list of the 15 best-selling music acts in the US so far: Eminem and Tyler, The Creator.
Tyler, The Creator’s presence on the list shows just how much fans appreciate his music, with many opting to spin his albums at home. But when it comes to breaking records, Eminem stands in a league of his own.
Eminem recently became the first rapper to surpass 50 million pure album sales in the US, reasserting his legendary status in the industry. If physical copies of his latest album, “The Death of Slim Shady”, were available, there is no doubt he would be ranked even higher on this list, put together by the ChartData account.

1 Taylor Swift
2 Stray Kids
3 Billie Eilish
4 Enhypen
5 Beyonce
