Eminem outsold MGK’s 1st week with his 956th week
Eminem's legacy in the rap game remains unbeatable, as evidenced by the continued success of his compilation album, "Curtain Call: The Hits." Released in 2005, this collection of Eminem's greatest hits continues to defy expectations, outselling the collaborative effort of MGK and Trippie Redd even in its 956th week on the charts.
It's a testament to Slim Shady's staying power that "Curtain Call" maintains its relevance and popularity nearly two decades after its release. While other artists may come and go, Eminem's timeless hits continue to resonate with audiences worldwide.
The irony is palpable when comparing the sales numbers of "Curtain Call" to MGK's latest endeavor to reclaim his spot in the rap scene. Despite the hype surrounding MGK and Trippie Redd's joint album, it falls short in comparison to the enduring appeal of Eminem's compilation.
Data provided by the Hip Hop By The Numbers account paints a clear picture of Eminem's dominance:
- Eminem – Curtain Call: 17,300 copies sold in its 956th week.
- MGK x Trippie Redd: 17,000 copies sold in its first week.

These numbers underscore Eminem's ability to effortlessly overshadow the achievements of other rappers. Even though MGK's sales figures would typically secure a spot on the Billboard 200 and bring satisfaction to most artists, they pale in comparison to the enduring success of "Curtain Call."
For Eminem, this feat is just another reminder of his unrivaled status in the hip-hop world. His ability to captivate audiences and maintain relevance over the years speaks volumes about his talent and impact on the genre.
As the rap landscape continues to evolve, Eminem's legacy remains a guiding light for aspiring artists and a testament to the enduring power of authentic storytelling and raw lyricism. In a world of fleeting trends and fame, Eminem stands tall as a beacon of longevity and artistic integrity.
