It’s been 25 years since Eminem dropped “The Marshall Mathers LP”, the record that turned him from a rising Detroit MC into a global icon. Now, the album is storming the UK charts all over again.
Following its special vinyl reissue, “The Marshall Mathers LP” re-entered both the Official Vinyl Albums and Official Albums Sales charts. It landed at No.11 on the vinyl list and No.24 on the overall sales ranking – both new all-time peaks for the classic.
This marks the album’s second appearance on the vinyl tally since its first debut in June 2020, when it peaked at No.18. The 2025 reissue easily surpassed that.
On the Official Album Sales chart, the project made its first showing in 2017 at No. 94 and gradually improved over the years. Now, it sits proudly at No. 24, its highest position yet.
The set also re-enters the Official Physical Albums chart, tying its previous peak at No.24.
Meanwhile, on the Official Hip Hop and R&B Albums chart, “The Marshall Mathers LP” nearly retakes the top spot, landing at No.2 after spending years on that ranking: it is its 840th week in total, to be exact.
The anniversary vinyl pressing, which includes two live bonus tracks from the 2000 MTV VMAs (“The Real Slim Shady” and “The Way I Am”), sold briskly worldwide, giving fans a collectible slice of history.
Originally released in May 2000, The Marshall Mathers LP became Eminem’s first UK No. 1 album, staying in the Top 10 for 41 weeks. Its run produced timeless singles like “Stan”, “The Real Slim Shady”, and “The Way I Am”, securing Eminem a place in hip hop history and in playlists everywhere until this day.
Even today, “The Marshall Mathers LP” remains a fixture on the charts. It is one of four Eminem albums appearing in the UK rankings this week, alongside “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)”, “Curtain Call: The Hits”, and “Curtain Call 2”.
Behold, Slim Shady breaking his own chart records 25 years after the album’s release.
