Eminem's 'The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)' Is the Highest-Selling Rap Album of 2024

As a die-hard music fan, I can’t help but feel exhilarated and proud as I witness Eminem once again claim the top spot on the Billboard 200 with his latest album, “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)”. This is an incredible achievement for the rap legend, who has now tied Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand, and Ye with a total of 11 No. 1 albums. The fact that this record also boasts the biggest sales week for a rap album in 2024, along with being the second-largest sales week for a digital album, only adds to my admiration for his unwavering talent and enduring appeal.

I’ve been a huge fan of Eminem since his early days, and I must say, I’m absolutely thrilled to witness yet another milestone in his illustrious music career. This week, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) has taken the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart, marking another record-setting achievement for the rap legend. It’s truly awe-inspiring to see an artist remain at the pinnacle of their game, continuously pushing boundaries and setting new standards in the music industry. Eminem’s unwavering dedication to his craft is nothing short of inspiring, and I can’t wait to immerse myself in this latest masterpiece. It’s moments like these that remind us all why we fell in love with music in the first place.

In its initial week, the concept album garners an impressive total of 281,000 equivalent album units. This figure consists of 164,500 streaming units, derived from 220.08 million on-demand streams of the tracks. Additionally, there were 114,000 in traditional album sales and 2,500 in track sales. With this achievement, Em secures his 11th number-one album, tying him with Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand, and Ye for the fifth most chart-toppers. Furthermore, this release sets the record for the biggest sales week for a rap album in 2024, making it the second largest sales week for a digital album that year, trailing behind Taylor Swift.

As a music enthusiast with a deep appreciation for new and emerging artists, I couldn’t be more thrilled about this week’s chart debuts! ENYPHEN’s “Romance: Untold” at No. 2 with an impressive 124,000 equivalent album units is a testament to their talent and hard work. I was first introduced to their music a few months ago, and their ability to create such captivating melodies and lyrics has left me in awe. I’m excited to see where their career takes them.

In this week’s chart of the top 10 songs, you’ll find Zach Bryan in third place, Taylor Swift in fourth, Morgan Wallen in fifth, Billie Eilish in sixth position, Chappell Roan in seventh, and Noah Kahan holding down the tenth spot.
