Eminem has been replaced on Billboard’s Top Rap Albums chart after nearly one month at No. 1

Eminem released his 12th solo studio album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) a little more than a month ago. Since then, the album has been performing greatly on the charts, especially in the Detroit legends home country, the United States and let’s not forget, the United Kingdom. Eminem’s new project had been running the show on several Billboard charts for weeks, but after a notable reign, it has finally come to an end.

The Death of Slim Shady has been forced from the top spot on two of Billboard’s albums tallies. This frame, the set slips from No. 1 to No. 2 on both the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Top Rap Albums charts. Marshall Mathers steps aside as Vultures 2, the latest collaborative album from Ty Dolla $ign and Kanye West debuts at No. 1. The LP marks the second successful project from the two hip-hop artist, and, for the moment, it’s running the show on the genre-specific tallies that The Death of Slim Shady previously dominated.

Ye and $ign debut their new set at No. 2 on the US Billboard 200 charts losing out to Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department on both of those lists. On the Top Streaming Albums chart, the Vultures sequel launches at No. 6. Vultures 2 scored Ye’s second-lowest first week sales with 107,000 album-equivalent units. These units consisted of 46,000 streaming-equivalent units, 60,500 pure album sales, and 500 track-equivalent units. The album also accumulated a total of 50.44 million on-demand streams of the album’s songs.

The Death of Slim Shady, meanwhile, slips slightly on two of those charts. Eminem’s new full-length dips to No. 10 on the Top Streaming Albums list and No. 11 on the Billboard 200 this frame.  Eminem did manage to conquer the Billboard 200 the week that The Death of Slim Shady first arrived, while Ye and $ign failed to do so. Vultures 2 marks the end of Kanye West’s winning streak on that chart, as his last 11 projects released under his name have all reached the summit on the competitive roster.

In the coming weeks–and perhaps even in just a few days–Eminem could return to No. 1 on some of Billboard’s hip-hop-leaning tallies. The Death of Slim Shady has real staying power, as it’s already racked up several turns atop multiple lists, and fans are still listening and physical copies are scheduled to hit the stores in September.

Since the release of Eminem’s The Death Of Slim Shady album, many tried to take the crow on the Rap Charts but failed. As a result, some of the rap’s most anticipated albums debuted at No. 2 or lower, including Childish Gambino’s Bando Stone & the New World and Ice Spice’s Y2K!.
