Eminem achieves his 11th No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart (dated July 27) as his latest studio album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), debuts atop the list. The set launches with 281,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending July 18, according to Luminate. It scores the largest week for any rap album in 2024.

With an 11th No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, Eminem ties Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand and Ye (formerly Kanye West) for the fifth-most No. 1s on the Billboard 200. Ahead of them are The Beatles (a record 19 No. 1s), Jay-Z and Taylor Swift (each with 14) and Drake (13).

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album.

Of The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)’s 281,000 first-week units, SEA units comprise 164,500 (equaling 220.08 million on-demand official streams of the tracks on the streaming edition of the album; Death also debuts at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 114,000 (all from digital downloads; it wasn’t available as a physical album) and TEA units comprise 2,500.

Death’s first-week sales mark the biggest sales week in 2024 for a rap album. It also nets the second-largest sales week this year for a digital download album, behind only the debut of Swift’s Poets with 274,000 downloads sold in its opening week.

Eminem also climbs to the #1 slot 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. S: Billboard
