Dec 24, 2017 Eminem is the first act in the history of the Billboard 200 chart with eight consecutive chart entries to bow at No. 1. He previously opened at No. 1 with his last seven releases: The Marshall Mathers LP2 (2013), Recovery (2010), Relapse (2009), the best-of set Curtain Call: The Hits (2005), Encore (2004), The Eminem Show (2002) and The Marshall Mathers LP (2000). His only charting effort to miss the top was his major label debut album, The Slim Shady LP, which topped out at No. 2 in 1999. https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8078653/eminem-revival-makes-chart-history-with-eighth-consecutive-no-1-debut-on
Dec 24, 2017 I read this earlier, and I don’t find this to be true because I’m sure jay has 8 or more consecutive number 1 debut
Dec 25, 2017 So he flops and still makes history. Name me an artist that can do that. Oh wait... None cuz he just set the record.
Dec 25, 2017 JAY-Z: The superstar mogul has seen his last 11 solo studio albums debut at No. 1, from 1998’s Vol. 2… Hard Knock Life through his latest release, 2017’s 4:44. Sprinkled among those chart toppers are three further collaborative sets that opened atop the list: Watch the Throne, with Kanye West; MTV Ultimate Mash-Ups Presents: Collision Course, with Linkin Park; and Unfinished Business, with R. Kelly. Breaking up JAY-Z’s hot streak between 1998 and the present are seven charting titles that did not reach No. 1. Among those: his first collaboration effort with R. Kelly (The Best of Both Worlds, peaking at No. 2), a best-of album (Hits Collection: Volume One, No. 43), a live set (Live in Brooklyn, No. 36) and even an acapella title (The Black Album: Acapella, No. 106).
Dec 25, 2017 Um I don’t get this because how come they don’t count re-up being number 2, along with shady xv? Is it because eminem isn’t on all the songs?
Dec 25, 2017 Yeah I agree on the cheating, and drake has 6 already because he puts out albums quicker than em. Rick Ross would’ve had 6 but eminem made his a--- debut at number 2, which I believe was karma for talking all that honky s--- the year before. Edit drake only has 4
