Eminem continues to dominate the UK music charts as 2025 draws to a close. His albums consistently make appearances on both the Official Albums Chart and the Hip Hop & R&B Albums Chart. As newer artists emerge, the veteran rapper maintains his presence, showcasing his enduring appeal.
Eminem’s Chart Performance in December 2025
The latest rankings reveal notable movements for Eminem’s albums. “Curtain Call: The Hits” has risen from No. 33 to No. 24 on the Official Albums Chart. Originally released in 2005, this compilation has now logged an impressive 702 weeks on the chart, marking over 13 years of sustained success. This feat sets a new benchmark for hip hop albums in the UK.
Recent Releases Maintain Popularity
In addition, “Curtain Call 2,” a follow-up compilation that encapsulates Eminem’s later works, is currently positioned at No. 84. This album has celebrated 176 weeks on the chart and reached as high as No. 3, indicating strong endurance for a more recent project. Despite a slight decline in its ranking, the album continues to attract listeners, showcasing tracks like “Godzilla,” “River,” and “Rap God.”
Insights from the Hip Hop & R&B Albums Chart
The UK Hip Hop and R&B Albums Chart presents even more of Eminem’s impressive legacy. “The Eminem Show” has surged ten places to land at No. 19, marking its 680th week in the charts. This 2002 album gained fame as one of the best-selling albums in hip hop history. Meanwhile, “The Marshall Mathers LP” sits at No. 37 with an astounding 850 weeks, and “Curtain Call” ranks at No. 29 with 937 weeks, demonstrating their continued popularity among UK listeners.
A Testament to Eminem’s Legacy
Remarkably, Eminem’s current chart success is not fueled by new releases or promotional campaigns. In 2025, he did not put out any new albums nor participated in high-profile events in the UK. His ability to maintain chart positions highlights the deep connection fans have with his broader catalog. Listeners are clearly drawn to timeless albums that resonate with significant depth and influence, rather than fleeting trends.
