EMINEM LANDS 11th U.K. #1
As expected, Eminem has earned his 11th #1 on the U.K. Official Albums Chart with The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) (Interscope), tying David Bowie, Taylor Swift and U2 on the all-time list. The Beatles hold the record, at 16.
Elsewhere, Griff’s debut, Vertigo (Warner Records), lands at #3, while Travis is new at #4 with L.A. Times (BMG). Cat Burns opens at #7 with her first RCA album, early twenties, and Cigarettes After Sex score a career-best #12 debut with X’s (Partisan).
On the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart, Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” tallies a seventh nonconsecutive week at the top, tying for the longest-running #1 single of 2024 with Noah Kahan’s “Stick Season” (Mercury/Republic). Carpenter's other smash, “Please Please Please," remains at #2. She's now tied with Ed Sheeran for most consecutive weeks—five—at #1 and #2 concurrently.
Eminem’s former chart-topper, “Houdini,” rebounds three to #4. He has a further two tracks in the Top 20, with “Habits” f/White Gold at #11 and “Renaissance” at #13.
Widespread support for England in the Euros 2024 soccer final against Spain helps David Baddiel, Frank Skinner and The Lightning Seeds bounce up to #8 this week with the anthem “Three Lions” (Sony). Ice Spice and Central Cee’s “Did It First” (10K Projects/Capitol Records) debuts at #15.
