Eminem breaks 36-year-old UK chart record
Eminem has broken the UK chart record for consecutive No 1 albums, beating a record held jointly for 36 years by Abba and Led Zeppelin.
His album Kamikaze, is his ninth No 1 in a row. Kamikaze is also the fourth-fastest selling album this year in the UK, behind Arctic Monkeys, Drake and George Ezra, and outsold the No 2 album, the soundtrack to Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, by three copies to one.
The album’s opening track, The Ringer, also reached No 4 in the singles chart – it features an attack on Donald Trump, while two other album tracks, Lucky You and Fall, also reached the Top 10.
