Eminem has earned his 11th number one album with The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Gr芒ce).

He joins a club of Taylor Swift, David Bowie, and U2, who have also had 11 chart-topping albums.

The US rapper鈥檚 12th album 鈥 in which, he kills off his alter ego, Slim Shady 鈥 had a mixed critical reception.

But that doesn鈥檛 seem to have mattered this week on the charts.

Houdini, from the album, is number four on this week鈥檚 singles charts 鈥 it previously reached number one last month.

Ahead of its release, Eminem told fans The Death of Slim Shady was a "conceptual album" and the songs should be listened to in order.

Taylor Swift鈥檚 The Tortured Poets Department is still second on the albums chart, with popstar Griff making a new entry at number three, with debut album Vertigo.

Sabrina's singles

Meanwhile, in the singles chart, Sabrina Carpenter鈥檚 summer smash hit Espresso has hit number one for the seventh time.

And she鈥檚 also at number two on the singles chart, with Please Please Please.

Both songs will feature on her forthcoming album Short 鈥榥 Sweet, set to be released in August.

The only other female artists to have held the number one and two spots simultaneously are Madonna (in 1985) and Ariana Grande (2019).

A Bar Song (Tipsy) by Shaboozey is at three.

And Eminem鈥檚 Houdini 鈥 from The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Gr芒ce) 鈥 is fourth on the singles chart.

And while England might not have won the Euros, the tournament has seen David Baddiel, Frank Skinner and The Lightning Seeds Three Lions hit number eight.
