Eminem continues breaking insane records with the recent release of his highly-anticipated 2013 album MMLP2. Currently, four new Slim Shady songs reside in the Top 20 of Billboard's Hot 100. This is the first time any artrist has had so any tracks simultaneously fall within the Top 20 since 1964. In April of that year, the Beatles had five tunes appear in the Top 20 for two straight weeks. Will Shady ever catch up?

Here are the Eminem songs currently on Billboard's Hot 100 charts (within the Top 20):

"The Monster" (featuring Rihanna). Debuted at no. 3:

"Berzerk" at no. 15:

"Survival" (featuring Liz Rodrigues) at no. 16:

"Rap God" at no. 17:

Impressive!

FYI - Lorde's hit song "Royals" still remains at no. 1 (check out the full list here).

British rockers the Beatles made Billboard history back on April 4, 1964. The band occupied all Top 5 spots on the Hot 100 charts:

No. 1: "Can't Buy Me Love"
No. 2: "Twist and Shout"
No. 3: "She Loves You"
No. 4: "I Want to Hold Your Hand"
No. 5: "Please Please Me"

Altogether, the Beatles snagged 12 spots on the charts that week:

No. 31: "Saw Her Standing There"
No. 41: "From Me To You"
No. 46: "Do You Want To Know A Secret"
No. 58: "All My Loving"
No. 65: "You Can't Do That"
No. 68: "Roll Over Beethoven"
No. 79: "Thank You Girl"

The next week, these Beatles singles were added:

No. 74: "There's A Place"
No. 81: "Love Me Do"

Apparently, Shady still has some work to do. But so far, fans are diggin' MMLP2!
