In a remarkable resurgence, DMX's debut album, *It’s Dark And Hell Is Hot*, has made its way back onto the Billboard charts, marking a significant milestone for the late hip-hop icon. The album, which originally catapulted DMX to fame, has re-entered the Vinyl Albums chart at an impressive position, thanks in part to its recent recognition as the vinyl title of the month by Vinyl Me, Please. This promotion has sparked renewed interest among fans, leading to a surge in vinyl sales. According to Luminate, the album sold approximately 3,400 copies in the past tracking week, although the exact number of vinyl sales remains unspecified. This resurgence is particularly noteworthy as it marks DMX's first appearance on Billboard’s ranking of bestselling full-lengths and EPs on vinyl in the U.S. The album's return to the charts highlights the enduring legacy of DMX and the continued appreciation for his music, even after his passing. *It’s Dark And Hell Is Hot* not only reclaims its place on the Vinyl Albums chart but also breaks back into the Top Album Sales chart, debuting at No. 10. Originally released in 1998, the album quickly became a bestseller, topping the Billboard 200 and establishing DMX as a dominant force in hip-hop with five consecutive chart-topping albums. This resurgence serves as a testament to DMX's lasting impact on the music industry and the loyalty of his fanbase, who continue to celebrate his contributions to hip-hop culture.
