Shady’s back…at No. 1 in the U.K.
Eminem glides to the summit of the Official U.K. Albums Chart with The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) (via Interscope), published Friday, July 19.
The Rap God’s latest LP chalks up 45,000 combined units in the chart week, according to the Official Charts Company, drawing him level with David Bowie and U2 on the all-time leaderboard, with 11 each.
Em previously reigned in the U.K. with The Marshall Mathers LP (from 2000), The Eminem Show (2002), Encore (2004), Curtain Call: The Hits (2005), Relapse (2009), Recovery (2010), The Marshall Mathers LP 2 (2013), Revival (2017), Kamikaze (2018) and Music To Be Murdered By (2020). The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) is also the best-seller in the United States and Australia.
BRITs rising star winner Griff bags a personal best with her debut full-length studio album Vertigo (Warner Records), new at No. 3. Vertigo goes one better than the British artist’s 2021 EP One Foot In Front of The Other, which peaked at No. 4.
Brit Award-winning Scottish indie rock act Travis claim their 10th U.K. top 10 with L.A. Times (via BMG), new at No. 4, while London-born singer-songwriter Cat Burns collects a top-tier entry with her debut album Early Twenties (RCA), new at No. 7.
Finally, new releases from Cigarettes After Sex (X’s at No. 12 via Partisan) and Atlanta-born singer Clairo (Charm at No. 13 via Clairo) stick top 40 debuts.
Over on the Official U.K. Singles Chart, Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” (Island) pours out a seventh non-consecutive week at No. 1.
Indeed, the U.S. singer and actor locks up another 1-2 in the U.K. as “Please Please Please” holds at No. 2.
Carpenter is now in joint-first place as the artist to spend the most consecutive weeks occupying both the top 2 chart positions concurrently, a record she holds with Ed Sheeran at five weeks.
Ice Spice and Central Cee’s trans-Atlantic hip-hop collaboration “Did It First”(10k Projects /Capitol/Columbia) is the top new single on the latest tally that doesn’t belong to Eminem. “Did It First” starts at No. 15 for Ice Spice’s third U.K. top 40 hit, and Central Cee’s 26th.
