The race for the most No.1 albums just got tighter—here’s where Eminem stands among rap’s biggest names.
Drake has officially tied Jay-Z for the most No.1 albums in Billboard 200 history among rappers, with both now sitting at 14 each. While this shakes up the rankings at the very top, Eminem remains in elite company with 11 No.1 albums — right alongside Kanye West and Future.
The list of rappers with over 10 No.1 albums is short, with only five names:
Jay-Z — 14
Drake — 14
Kanye West — 11
Eminem — 11
Future — 11
Eminem, who first hit No.1 with “The Marshall Mathers LP” in 2000, has consistently landed chart-topping albums for over two decades, with “The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grace)” (2024) being his most recent.
On the all-time Billboard 200 list, Eminem stands among legends like The Beatles (19 No.1 albums), Taylor Swift (14), and Elvis Presley (10).
