Eminem’s “Fortnite Radio” album debuts on Billboard Vinyl Albums charts

About a week ago, legendary producer Dr. Dre, who has recently received a star on Hollywood Walk Of Fame, revealed that Eminem is working on a new album, which is slated to drop anytime this year. As fans around the world wait for that 12th solo studio album, the legendary Detroit rapper debuts a new full-length project “Fortnite Radio” on the Billboard charts this week.

Eminem debuts his new collection “Fortnite Radio” on two rankings published by Billboard this week. The set was made available on vinyl following the hip-hop powerhouse’s recent appearance in the online game platform, and fans were quick to snap up copies of the project, which is decidedly different from anything he’s shared before–at least when it comes to the method by which he shared it with the world.

Fortnite Radio launches highest on the Vinyl Albums chart. On that tally, Eminem’s latest opens at No. 8. It’s only his fourth career placement on the list. Eminem’s title scores the third-highest start of the week on the vinyl-only tally, coming in behind new releases from Kacey Musgraves (Deeper Well, No. 1) and Justin Timberlake (Everything I Thought It Was, No. 2). It’s also tied as his lowest-charting ever, but it still managed to enter the top 10.
