Eminem Dethrones Taylor Swift On Billboard 200 With ‘The Death of Slim Shady’
After 12 weeks of Taylor Swift’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department,’ topping the Billboard 200 — holding onto the spot despite competition from Billie Eilish, Charli XCX, Zach Bryan, and more — Eminem has finally dethroned the pop star with his new album ‘The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce),’ taking the No. 1 spot, according to the Official Charts Company.

Eminem’s 12th studio album — and his first in four years — ‘The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)’ arrived on July 12th, 2024, following the release of singles ‘Houdini,’ ‘Tobey,’ and ‘Somebody Save Me.’ Now, having earned the No. 1 spot, it marks Eminem’s 11th consecutive release to top the Billboard 200 in the UK, continuing a trend that began with ‘The Marshall Mathers LP’ in 2000.
Ahead of its release, Eminem told fans ‘The Death of Slim Shady’ was a “conceptual album” and the songs should be listened to in order.
