Even after several years, the Top Streaming Albums chart remains one of Billboard’s newest rankings. The tally lists the most successful full-lengths and EPs on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, iHeartRadio, and others in the United States alone.

There aren’t many projects that have managed lengthy stays on the Top Streaming Albums tally throughout its relatively short lifespan, but a handful of efforts have already spent 100 weeks or more. This time around, Eminem joins an exclusive club of artists who have reached that milestone.

Eminem’s Curtain Call Reaches a Special Milestone

Eminem returns to the Top Streaming Albums chart this week as Curtain Call, his greatest hits compilation, rebounds onto the tally. This time around, Curtain Call reenters the 50-space roster in absolute last place, at No. 50.

Eminem’s Curtain Call Becomes His First 100-Week Charter

Curtain Call is one of only two efforts by Eminem that have landed on the Top Streaming Albums chart, and it is the first to reach 100 weeks. Curtain Call makes it to that milestone as it returns.

Eminem’s only other winner, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), pales in comparison when looking only at longevity. The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) managed 15 stays on the roster, only a fraction of what Curtain Call has already racked up.

Eminem’s Curtain Call Debuted Several Years Ago

Curtain Call brought Eminem to the Top Streaming Albums roster for the first time when it launched in October 2023. More than half a year later, the compilation, which features many of the hip-hop superstar’s most celebrated smashes, soared to its all-time high of No. 18.

While The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) did not hold on nearly as long as Curtain Call, it did outperform the compilation. The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) opened at No. 1 in July 2024 and collected two stints in first place.

Three full-lengths find their way back to the Top Streaming Albums chart this week, and Eminem claims the worst performer of the bunch. Just a few spaces ahead of the hip-hop powerhouse comes Drake’s Certified Lover Boy and Nickelback’s The Best of Nickelback: Volume 1, which reenter the roster at Nos. 45 and 47, respectively.

Bad Bunny Blocks Megan Moroney’s Cloud 9 From No. 1

Several just-released albums also debut on the ranking at the same time. Megan Moroney nearly scores a champion as her latest Cloud 9 – which rules multiple rosters including the Billboard 200 – debuts in second place. Only Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos, which is comfortable once again in first place, keeps the singer-songwriter from leading the way.

Baby Keem’s Casino, Omar Courtz’s Por Si Mañana No Estoy, and Prizefighter by Mumford & Sons also launch on the list this time around.

Eminem’s Curtain Call Climbs On Multiple Billboard Charts

The compilation improves on both the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums ranking – to No. 16 – and the Billboard 200 – up to No. 46. The set is steady at No. 11, just beneath the highest tier, on the Top Rap Albums list.
