Will Eminem Beat Beyonce For UK Number 1 Album?

According to recent reports, Eminem’s latest album, Curtain Call 2, is gradually edging closer to the top of the UK charts.

Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III, released his compilation album Curtain Call 2 on August 5 last week.

Furthermore, the rapper’s record is currently sitting at number two on the UK album chart chart.

Thus, Eminem’s Curtain Call 2 is very close to Beyonce’s seventh studio album, Renaissance.

Based on mid-week streaming and sales data, fewer than 100 chart units separate Beyoncé and Eminem in Friday’s official chart update.

Slim Shady’s most recent record serves as a sequel to his 2005 career retrospective album, Curtain Call: The Hits. The latter is still in the Top 20 even after 512 weeks on the chart. It was also number one for five weeks.

The Detroit hip-hop star has previously ruled the UK No. 1 album chart for his last ten consecutive records dating back to The Marshall Mathers LP from the 2000s.

Meanwhile, the 40-year-old diva led the official list update for the past week and is currently on track for a second week for the top spot.
