Eminem to top albums chart
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 20 May 2009
Eminem is set to top the UK album chart this Sunday as the biggest first-week seller of 2009. Slim Shady is expected to shift over 175,000 units of his comeback album ‘Relapse’ here in the UK by the time the chart is compiled on Sunday, having sold some 64,000 copies on Monday alone. Assuming he does reach the 175K point, that will put Marshall Mathers ahead of U2, who sold 168,000 copies of their latest album in first week of sales back in March. Slim Shady, though, while guesting on the Jonathan Ross TV show last week, has not received the blanket licence-fee funded free promotion Bono and co enjoyed earlier in the year.
For those that are counting, home grown rapper Dizzee Rascal is most likely to top this weekend’s singles chart with his Armand Van Helden collaboration ‘Bonkers (Dirtee Stank)’.
