Eminem opens this week’s Billboard 200 at #1 with his new album “The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce).”

The Detroit rapper achieves his 11th #1 album and ties Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand and Ye for the fifth-most #1s on the Billboard 200.

The project 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.

Em’s latest offering also had the second biggest digital launch of the year with 114,000 sales, second only to Swift’s 274,000. “The Death Of Slim Shady” does not have a physical release until September 13.

The album also had a bigger opening week than Slim Shady’s previous album, 2020’s “Music To Be Murdered By” (279,000 units), as well as 2017’s “Revival” (267,000 units).
