TOP 50: A LIVELY BOW FOR EMINEM'S DEATH

Shady/Aftermath/Interscope's Eminem opens at #1 on the HITS Top 50 with The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce). The set becomes Em's 10th consecutive chart-topper, and with 287k, it opens as the year's biggest rap debut.

Shady's Death ends Taylor Swift's rip-roaring three-month run at #1; the Republic superstar's THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT slides to #4.

K-pop group ENHYPEN debuts at #2 with Romance: Untold (Belift Lab/Geffen), which moves nearly 125k units. Warner's Zach Bryan and Big Loud/Mercury/Republic's Morgan Wallen round out the Top 5 at #3 and #4, respectively.

Virgin Music Group's Clairo enters at #8, followed by Sony Nashville/ Columbia's Megan Moroney at #9.

Streeting this week are new titles by RCA's Childish Gambino, Columbia's Koe Wetzel, Interscope's Ivan Cornejo, JYP/Imperial/Republic's Stray Kids and HYBE/Geffen's Jimin.
