Eminem's most successful album in the United Kingdom remains Curtain Call: The Hits. The compilation is one of the longest-charting titles in the country's history and easily one of the sturdiest hip-hop sets of all time.
The project never disappears entirely, and it can usually be found on multiple rankings at once, as is the case this time around. Curtain Call's sequel — the aptly-named Curtain Call 2 — was never as big as its predecessor, but Eminem's catalog is so beloved that even a second greatest hits set can chart for years and reach major milestones.
Curtain Call 2 Hits 150 Weeks
Curtain Call 2 appears on a pair of rosters in the U.K. this week. The title reaches 150 frames on both the Official Albums and Official Albums Streaming charts simultaneously. The project dips one space on the main ranking of the most consumed full-lengths and EPs in the country, while climbing two spots to No. 49 on the Official Albums Streaming list.
Curtain Call 2 Trails The Eminem Show
The compilation marks Eminem's third release to make it to 150 weeks on the Official Albums chart. The original Curtain Call leads the pack, as it is now up to 675 stays on the tally — a number that increases again this frame. The Eminem Show has racked up a total of 159 weeks on the roster, though it is not currently present and hasn't appeared on the ranking since 2024.
Curtain Call and Curtain Call 2
Only the two Curtain Call sets have reached 150 weeks on the Official Albums Streaming chart. The Eminem Show isn't far behind, as it's earned 148 stays as one of the most-streamed full-lengths in the nation, and it will likely reach that 150 milestone at some point.
Eminem's Older Albums Haven't Disappeared
Curtain Call is climbing on all four of the U.K.-based charts on which it appears — a feat that Curtain Call 2 can't claim. Two other sets by the rapper — The Slim Shady LP and The Eminem Show — also live on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Albums chart. The former holds steady, while the latter reenters that genre-specific tally.
