With a career decorated with milestones, you’d think it difficult to continue a reign as strong as top-selling rapper Eminem has over a decade since his debut.  But, as the week has proven, Em may just be getting started.

As if earning the second best first week sales of the year with his new album ‘The Marshall Mathers LP 2’ (predicted 700k) wasn’t enough, the ‘Stan’ rapper now stands as the first and only solo artist in history to notch four top 20s simultaneously.  Such feat was accomplished this week when his latest number ‘The Monster’ – featuring ‘Disturbia’ damsel Rihanna – made its debut at #3 (his third highest debut to date).

And, while ‘Monster’ has done its part to scare away some of the Billboard Hot 100’s diva dominators (see:  Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus), one diva-in-training has yet to budge…Lorde.

Living up to her blockbuster hit ‘Royals’, the songstress continues her reign at #1 for a sixth week.  Find out how everyone else fared below:

Katy Perry‘s ‘Prism’ power continues to outshine the competition – a feat we expect to be a mainstay this award season.

For, after storming single and album charts alike with tunes like ‘Roar’ and ‘Dark Horse’ (and their parent album), the songstress can now boast leading the 2014 People Choice Award nominees with a whopping 5 nods.

Justin Timberlake, whose 2013 wasn’t too shabby either (see:  best selling album of the year, two #1 albums, and blockbuster tour), also notched 5 nods including listing in categories like Favorite Pop Artist and Favorite Song. 

But, while top acts like Demi Lovato, Bruno Mars and One Direction follow with four nods a piece, some fans have griped about the absence of color (*cough cough*) in this year’s nominations list.  See it in full below:
