It was a big week for Eminem in the UK, with Record Store Day boosts and continued streaming strength pushing five of his albums back onto the charts.
These are not just background appearances, either, they show strong movement on some of the UK’s most competitive tallies.
“Curtain Call: The Hits” continues to be the centrepiece. It is holding firm at No. 23 on the Official Albums Chart and climbing back to No. 25 on the Hip-Hop and R&B Albums list. It is also charting on the Album Downloads list (No. 96) and Streaming Albums (No. 20), putting it on four UK charts this week.
Meanwhile, two of Em’s iconic early-2000s records returned to the Hip-Hop and R&B Albums tally. The “Marshall Mathers LP” comes back at No. 34, followed closely by “The Eminem Show” at No. 37. Together, these albums account for more than 1,400 weeks on that genre-specific chart alone — massive staying power for two of his most defining projects.
“Curtain Call 2” and Em’s latest release, “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)”, are also active. While “Curtain Call 2” dips slightly, “The Death of Slim Shady” climbs again on the Hip-Hop and R&B Albums list, making it one of four entries Eminem currently has on that chart.
All four projects on the Hip-Hop and R&B list are past No. 1 finishers, further proving that Eminem’s albums have enormous replay power years — decades even — after release.
