Grammy-winning rapper Eminem’s new Revival album is giving him accolades he’s never received before. The rap star’s latest solo offering has landed him atop a prestigious chart.
According to reports, Slim Shady has made history by becoming the top music act in the nation.
Eminem leaps from No. 37 to No. 1 on the Billboard Artist 100 chart (dated Jan. 3) to become the top musical act in the U.S. for the first time. The Artist 100, which launched in July 2014, measures artist activity across key metrics of music consumption, blending album and track sales, radio airplay, streaming and social media fan interaction to provide a weekly multi-dimensional ranking of artist popularity.

A few days ago, West Coast rapper Lil B defended Em’s new LP against any and all stiff criticism.

Em had already made history with Revival debuting atop the sales chart.
His latest album Revival has debuted at the number 1 spot on Billboard 200 chart with 267k moved in the first week. With this, he has become the first artist in history to have 8 consecutive albums debuting at the top spot on the chart. 197k copies out of the total came from pure sales which is really impressive in this streaming dominated climate.

The rap star’s Revival album had initially debuted atop the music charts in the United Kingdom.
With little promotion and even less warning that a new collection was coming as quickly as it did, Eminem has debuted his new album Revival at No. 1 in the U.K., which is an accomplishment he has managed many times now. According to the Official Charts Company, the newly-released record kicks off with an impressive 132,000 equivalent copies, which is an especially large sum for the country. (Forbes)
