Eminem’s alter ego may be called “Slim Shady,” but his latest album, The Death of Slim Shady, is far from dead. In 2024, the album has led in pure album sales within the hip-hop genre, proving that fans still value the experience of buying full albums.
With over 160,000 copies sold, The Death of Slim Shady has outperformed all other rap albums in both physical and digital sales this year, surpassing popular artists like Drake, Future, and Travis Scott. This achievement underscores Eminem’s enduring appeal and the loyalty of his fan base, which remains steadfast even in an era dominated by streaming.
While the album doesn’t top the overall sales charts—which include streams and downloads—it still secures a solid spot in the Top 5, according to estimates from HitsDailyDouble. Eminem’s storytelling prowess and lyrical skill continue to resonate, reaffirming his iconic status in the hip-hop world.
