Eminem released his highly-anticipated new album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) a little over a month ago. Since then, the title has been performing very well, especially in the musician’s home country of the U.S. The full-length had been running the show on several Billboard charts for weeks, but after a notable reign, it’s finally been replaced.
The Death of Slim Shady has been forced from the top spot on two of Billboard’s albums tallies. This frame, the set slips from No. 1 to No. 2 on both the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Top Rap Albums charts.
Eminem steps aside as Vultures 2, the latest collaborative album from Ty Dolla $ign and Ye–formerly known as Kanye West–debuts at No. 1. The full-length marks the second successful project from the two musicians, and, for the moment, it’s running the show on the genre-specific tallies that The Death of Slim Shady previously dominated.
Vultures 2 is also beating Eminem’s latest on several other rankings. Ye and $ign debut their new set at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and the Top Album Sales chart. The pair lose out to Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department on both of those lists. On the Top Streaming Albums chart, the Vultures sequel launches at No. 6.
The Death of Slim Shady, meanwhile, slips slightly on two of those charts. Eminem’s new full-length dips to No. 10 on the Top Streaming Albums list and No. 11 on the Billboard 200 this frame. The set is no longer selling well enough to appear on the Top Album Sales tally.
Eminem did manage to conquer the Billboard 200 the week that The Death of Slim Shady first arrived, while Ye and $ign failed to do so. Vultures 2 marks the end of Ye’s winning streak on that chart, as his last 11 projects released under his name have all reached the summit on the competitive roster.

In the coming weeks–and perhaps even in just a few days–Eminem could return to No. 1 on some of Billboard’s hip-hop-leaning tallies. The Death of Slim Shady has real staying power, as it’s already racked up several turns atop multiple lists, and fans are still listening. Vultures 2 could also score a second turn in first place, though consumption of that project doesn’t seem to be holding in the same way as Eminem’s latest.
