The seemingly unstoppable reign of\u00a0The Tortured Poets Department<\/em><\/a>\u00a0has ended.<\/p>\n

After sitting atop the\u00a0Billboard<\/em>\u00a0200 albums chart for 12 straight weeks,\u00a0Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s album, which was released on April 19, was finally dethroned, as recorded via\u00a0Billboard<\/em><\/a>\u2019s July 27 chart.<\/p>\n

The 11th studio album from Swift, 34, was toppled by\u00a0Eminem<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s new album,\u00a0The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Gr\u00e2ce)<\/em>, which was released on Friday, July 12.<\/p>\n

\n

TTPD<\/em>\u00a0fell to No. 4 on the chart during its 13th week on the list, recording the sale of 82,000 units.<\/p>\n

\n

The latest project from Eminem, 51, whose real name is\u00a0Marshall Bruce Mathers III<\/strong>, clocks up the rapper\u2019s 11th No. 1 album on the chart, tying him with\u00a0Bruce Springsteen<\/strong>,\u00a0Barbara Streisand<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Kanye West<\/strong>\u00a0for the fifth-most No. 1 album rankings of all time.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the pack are\u00a0The Beatles<\/strong>, with 19 No. 1 albums,\u00a0Jay-Z<\/strong>\u00a0and Swift, with 14 No. 1 albums each, and\u00a0Drake<\/strong>, with 13 No. 1 albums.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The release of\u00a0TTPD<\/em>\u00a0provided Swift with a slew of record-breaking achievements, notching up 2.6 million equivalent album sales in the first week of its release, with 1.9 million traditional album sales (including digital downloads, Cds, vinyl LPs and cassettes).<\/p>\n

TTPD<\/em>\u00a0had the third-largest sales week ever in the modern era, behind only\u00a0\u2018NSync<\/strong>\u2019s\u00a0No Strings Attached<\/em>\u00a0(2.4 million) and\u00a0Adele<\/strong>\u2019s\u00a025<\/em>\u00a0(3.37 million) in terms of most albums sold in a single week.<\/p>\n

The album also proved to be a masterstroke for other reasons.<\/p>\n

In April, the American Heart Association\u00a0claimed<\/a>\u00a0that the title track of\u00a0TTPD<\/em>\u00a0features 110 beats per minute, which is the correct tempo for Hands-Only CPR.<\/p>\n

\u201cA double album!?! So double the chances for songs with lifesaving beats!?!\u201d the AHA wrote in an Instagram post on April 19. \u201cIf you see a teen or adult collapse, call 911, then push hard and fast in the center of the chest to the beat of \u2018The Tortured Poets Department<\/em>.\u2019 Thanks, @taylorswift.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to serving as a life-saving essential, the title track is also rumored to have\u00a0been written<\/a>\u00a0about Swift\u2019s ex-boyfriend\u00a0Matty Healy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the song, Swift, recounts bonding moments with her \u201ctattooed golden retriever\u201d \u2014 Healy, 35, is covered in tattoos \u2014while referencing a conversation about how \u201cCharlie Puth<\/strong>\u00a0should be a bigger artist.\u201d (Healy once tweeted his praise about Puth\u2019s talent in a social media post resurfaced by fans following\u00a0TTPD<\/em>\u2019s release.)<\/p>\n
