Also featured on “Godzilla” is late rapper Juice WRLD who died unexpectedly due to a seizure at Chicago’s Midway International Airport at the age of 21 in December. Eminem dedicated his latest album, Music to Be Murdered By in memory of the young rapper.
As previously reported, Eminem recently was awarded a historic 10th No. 1 album amid 279,000 sales earned in the U.S. in the week ending Jan. 23. With another No. 1 added to his resume, Eminem is now tied with Elvis Presley for fourth-most chart-owners in Billboard history. This is Eminem’s first album since another surprise release, Kamikaze, which dropped in 2018 and touted the No. 1 spot.
