Eminem proves that Slim Shady is well and truly back as he clinches the U.K. No. 1 spot for the third week in a row with his latest album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce).

The Detroit rap icon has once again proven his staying power with this 12th studio album, which marks his 11th No. 1 in the U.K.

Slim is still king of the hill, holding off a strong push from Taylor Swift, whose album The Tortured Poets Department leaps two spots to No. 2 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart.

Meanwhile, Charli XCX is riding the wave of her BRAT summer. Her album BRAT, a 2024 Mercury Prize nominee, climbs three spots to land at No. 3. With a newly-released remix of “Guess” featuring Billie Eilish, Charli is making sure her summer anthem is on everyone’s playlist.

Chappell Roan is also having a moment with her debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. Rising three spots to No. 4, Chappell’s poised to make even bigger moves.

Billie Eilish, not one to be left in the dust, sees her album HIT ME HARD AND SOFT bounce back into the Top 5 at No. 5.

Meanwhile, Blur have delivered a nostalgic punch with Live at Wembley Stadium. Recorded over two nights in July 2023, this live album debuts at No. 6, becoming the week’s highest new entry and topping the Official Vinyl Albums Chart. It also marks Blur’s 14th Top 10 album. Live at Wembley Stadium was the leader at the midweek stage.

Sam Tompkins is making waves with his album hi, my name is insecure.—a fresh entry at No. 8 that also conquers the Official Record Store Chart and is the best-selling album of the week in independent U.K. record shops.

Over in the world of heavy metal, Swedish band Ghost hits a high note with their latest release, Rite Here Rite Now. Entering at No. 10, the album is the soundtrack to their concert film and adds another Top 10 achievement to their growing list of successes.

And there’s a blast from the past as The Police storm back into the Top 40 with their classic, final studio album Synchronicity. Thanks to a super deluxe reissue, it reclaims its spot at No. 30, a 40 years after its original release.

Benson Boone is also enjoying a resurgence, with his debut Fireworks & Rollerblades jumping 13 places to No. 31 after hitting the shelves on vinyl.

Rounding out this week’s chart action is Céline Dion, whose My Love – The Essential Collection vaults an impressive 32 spots to No. 36. Her performance of Édith Piaf’s “Hymne A L’Amour” at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris marked her first in four years due to her battle with Stiff-Person Syndrome.
