Fans thought they were set for an Eminem vs. Taylor Swift Super Bowl when the Detroit Lions appeared to have the San Francisco 49ers beat in the NFC Championship Game.
However, the Niners came up clutch to earn a trip to the big game.
Now it appears there might be some more Eminem/Taylor Swift beef where fans are concerned, as the rapper stopped the pop sensation from making history on Monday.
Taylor’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ had been at the top of the Billboard Top 200 12 weeks after debuting.
Given its long reign at No. 1, the album set multiple records, but it has been toppled as Eminem recently released his own album.
Eminem May Have Become A Thorn In Taylor Swift’s Side
Forbes has pointed out that one more week at No. 1 would have seen Swift tie Stevie Wonder’s ‘Songs in the Key of Life’ from 1976 as the longest-reigning top debut album ever. Unfortunately for the celebrity Kansas Chiefs fan, Eminem’s release of ‘The Death of Slim Shady’ has seen ‘TTPD’ knocked off the top spot as it’s gone on to fill that enviable berth.

“The Death of Slim Shady debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 281,000 equivalent units shifted,” Forbes noted.
“That sum is largely made up of streaming units, as the tracks featured on the project racked up an incredible 220 million plays on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music in the first tracking week the full-length was available. It also sold 114,000 copies, despite only being available to purchase digitally.”
While the probability of Taylor Swift’s album moving back to No. 1 remains high, it won’t break Stevie Wonder’s record, thanks to Eminem.
