Eminem displaces Taylor Swift from the top of the Billboard charts with “The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)”
Eminem has pushed Taylor Swift off the top of the Billboard 200 after 12 weeks with “The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)”.Similar to the UK, it was the rapper’s eleventh number one album in the US, having sold 281,000 album equivalent units in the week ending July 18, according to figures from Luminate (above Billboard). With his 12th studio album, he is tied with Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand and Kanye West for fifth place in the Billboard 200 charts with the most number one hits.
They are followed by the Beatles with 19 top albums, Jay-Z and Swift (14 each). Of the 281,000 copies of The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) in its first week, streaming equivalents totaled 164,500, album sales totaled 114,000 (all through digital downloads, as the album was not available as a physical album), and track equivalents totaled 2,500 albums.

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.”
