Eminem has scored the double on the U.K’s Official Charts, hitting the top of both albums and singles with
Music to be Murdered By (
Polydor) and “Godzilla” f/
Juice Wrld.
Music to be Murdered By is #1 on the Official Albums Chart today on 36k combined sales, extending Eminem’s record-breaking run of consecutive top-charting albums to 10. “Godzilla” has also achieved a feat rarely won these days by going in straight at #1 on its debut week; only three acts did that last year.
Courteneers settle for second place with
More. Again. Forever. (
Ignition), which topped the vinyl chart.
Bombay Bicycle Club claim the third highest new albums entry with
Everything Else Has Gone Wrong (
Island) at #4.

Heavy Love (
Lil Lou Records/

On the Official Singles Chart,
Roddy Ricch ends the week just 93 chart sales behind Eminem with “The Box” (
Atlantic) at #2. The track has climbed four places thanks in part to a viral dance challenge on
TikTok.

Aitch’s “Ei8ht Mile” is his first Top 10 single, coming in at #9.
