Eminem’s Curtain Call: The Hits compilation is one of the most successful singles collections ever released. The project features most of his early career smashes, and it maintains a constant presence on charts globally, as people may never stop listening to his dozens of commercial successes.

In the United Kingdom, it’s common to see both Curtain Call and Curtain Call 2 appear on multiple rankings at the same time. During especially productive frames, some of Eminem’s traditional studio albums also find space on a list or two. This time around, the focus remains on both Curtain Call releases, but several of the rapper’s full-lengths do manage to soar once more.

The Marshall Mathers LP and The Eminem Show

A pair of Eminem classics find their way back to the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Albums chart this week in the U.K. The Marshall Mathers LP and The Eminem Show surge back onto the genre-specific roster at Nos. 31 and 33, respectively.

Both Eminem Albums Have Spent Hundreds of Weeks on the Chart

While both The Eminem Show and The Marshall Mathers LP return to the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Albums chart, neither needs any introduction to the list. The Eminem Show is the one with the fewest number of frames on the tally, and it’s up to 671 stays on the tally, while The Marshall Mathers LP is nearing 850 frames. Both titles have already reached No. 1, and they are counted among Eminem’s many champions on the roster.

Eminem Owns 10% of the Entire Chart

Eminem fills four spaces on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Albums chart this week — 10% of all of the runs on the 40-spot list. As The Marshall Mathers LP and The Eminem Show bounce back, The Slim Shady LP lifts 12 spaces and settles at No. 22. Curtain Call also improves to No. 29, noticeably sitting below one of the hip-hop superstar’s regular full-lengths, which is unusual, considering the fact that Curtain Call is present on the busiest albums list, while The Slim Shady LP is not.

Curtain Call and Curtain Call 2

Only Curtain Call and Curtain Call 2 manage to occupy space on more than just the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Albums chart at the moment. Curtain Call lives on three rankings and rises on both the Official Albums Streaming and Official Hip-Hop and R&B Albums tallies. Curtain Call 2 declines slightly on the streaming roster, and both fall on the Official Albums chart. Curtain Call dips to No. 28, while its sequel falls to No. 65.
