On Billboard, Eminem achieves a historic milestone.

Next week will mark Eminem’s 50th birthday, and he has already achieved a significant milestone on Billboard. The greatest hits collection “Curtain Call ” by the Detroit rapper has spent a milestone 600 weeks at #35 this week on the Billboard 200 Chart. The album now ranks sixth overall and is the first hip-hop project in history to accomplish the feat.

The album, which debuted in 2005, features some of Eminem’s best songs, including “My Name Is,” “Stan,” “Lose Yourself,” “Without Me,” and “The Real Slim Shady.” Eminem received his sixth RIAA diamond for the project earlier this year after it sold 10 million copies in the US.

As his 2011 album “Take Care” reached the milestone, Drake joined Eminem and Kendrick Lamar as rappers with albums that have spent more than 500 weeks on the Billboard 200. With 519 weeks on the charts, Kendrick Lamar’s “Good Kid Maad City” is the second-most successful album in Billboard 200 history.

A record-breaking 350 chart weeks made the project the longest-charting hip-hop project ever as of 2017. The number of weeks that “Curtain Call: The Hits” has been on the chart has not changed. As the only Top 10 hip-hop album still in existence, it continues to be the longest-running hip-hop project on the Billboard 200.
