The album’s first-week sales also marked the strongest week of 2024 for a rap album.
His latest milestone is that the album also topped the UK album charts last Friday (July 19).
This puts him once again in the ranks of artists such as Swift, David Bowie and U2, whose current discography also includes 11 chart hit albums. Eminem’s other chart-topping albums include “The Marshall Mathers LP” (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).
In a three-star review of ‘The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce)’, Jordan Bassett wrote for NME: “So who killed Slim Shady? By bringing him back into the light and exposing him as irrelevant, Eminem may have finally finished off his old pal. OK, we get it – Shady was a shocking character. Now that he’s dead, how about some new material?”
Additionally, Eminem recently performed with Dr. Dre at a Gin & Juice event in London, singing “Houdini” and “Forgot About Dre.”
