Eminem Earns No. 1 In Australia With ‘The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)

Eminem is crowned again with The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), which debuts at No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart, published Friday, July 19.

This is Em’s 11th career leader in Australia, tying him with U2 in fifth place on the list of artists with the most No. 1 LPs. The only acts ahead of him are Madonna (fourth with 12), Taylor Swift (third with 23), the Beatles (second with 14) and Jimmy Barnes, who stands head and shoulders above the rest with 15 solo chart-toppers, and a further five with Cold Chisel.

Em has logged 31 weeks at No. 1, with albums dating back to The Marshall Mathers LP in 2000. His biggest was Recovery, which led the tally for nine weeks in 2010.

The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) is the Rock And Roll Hall of Famer’s 10th album to debut at No. 1 in Australia.

Thanks to its fast start, the Detroit rapper’s recent No. 1 hit “Houdini” rebounds 10-6, as 13 tracks from the collection impact the top 50 singles chart.

According to Universal Music Australia, 51 of Em’s singles have accreditation of platinum or greater in these parts, while his LPs have accumulated 66-times platinum. S: Billboard
