This marks Em’s 10 consecutive No. 1 album, a record. He surpasses Kanye West on the list of back to back chart-topping albums after Yeezy tied Em with nine last year when Jesus Is King topped the charts. Em and Jay-Z (14) are now the only two rappers with 10 or more.
Music to Be Murdered By features 20 tracks with guest appearances from Juice Wrld, Anderson .Paak, Young M.A, Royce 5’9,” Black Thought, Q-Tip and more. As with any Em album, it came with some controversy. On the track “Unaccommodating,” Shady makes light of the 2017 Ariana Grande concert bombing that killed 22 people when he spits, “I’m contemplating yelling ‘Bombs away’ on the game/Like I’m outside of an Ariana Grande concert waiting.” The Detroit rapper has been called out Stateside and by Manchester’s mayor for the insensitive remarks. He has since released a statement regarding people’s concerns.
