With the feat, Em dethroned Taylor Swift‘s The Tortured Poets Department, which spent 12 weeks at #1. It marks Em’s 11th studio album to make it to #1. He now joins Ye, Bruce Springsteen and Barbra Streisand, who are all tied with the fifth-most number ones on the chart. Em’s album has also become the largest-selling rap album in 2024 and had the second-largest selling week for a digital download album this year.
