(AllHipHop News) All of the controversy surrounding Eminem’s latest LP did not prevent the Detroit representative from topping the Billboard 200 once again. Music To Be Murdered By landed in the chart’s leading spot.
By opening in the pole position, the rap superstar born Marshall Mathers broke a tie with Kanye West for the most #1 debuts in a row. The Shady Records founder scored his 10th consecutive No. 1 in his career.
