Eminem’s ‘Curtain Call: The Hits’ rejoins Billboard chart 15 years after its release

 It had already spent nearly 10 years in the Billboard 200

Eminem‘s compilation album ‘Curtain Call: The Hits‘ has re-entered the Billboard 200 after previously falling just shy of a 10-year run on the chart.

‘Curtain Call: The Hits’ debuted at Number One in 2005 – selling approximately 441,000 copies in its first week – and remained on the chart for the next nine and a half years (496 weeks).

According to Billboard, the rapper’s compilation has now re-entered this week’s chart at Number 59.

The album already holds the record for the longest-running rap album in Billboard’s history, hitting 350 weeks in August 2017. As HipHopDX notes, however, the album is yet to beat Pink Floyd’s overall record of 741 weeks (14+ years) for the band’s 1973 classic ‘Dark Side of The Moon’. The album sat in the chart from 1973 to 1988.

‘Curtain Call: The Hits’ is a 13-track compilation of Slim Shady’s biggest hits from his first four major label albums: 1999’s ‘The Slim Shady LP’, 2000’s ‘The Marshal Mathers LP‘, 2002’s ‘The Eminem Show‘ and 2004’s ‘Encore‘. It also included four new recordings/songs: a live version of ‘Stan’ with Elton John, ‘Fack’, ‘When I’m Gone’, and ‘Shake That’ feat. Nate Dogg.
