Eminem has a massive week on Billboard’s charts (dated July 27) thanks to his new album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce).

Released July 12 on Shady/Aftermath/Interscope Records, the set debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 281,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in its opening week, according to Luminate. It arrives with the biggest week (by units) for a rap album in 2024.

The set becomes Eminem’s 11th career Billboard 200 No. 1, tying Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand and Ye (formerly Kanye West) for the fifth most, after The Beatles (19), Jay-Z (14), Taylor Swift (14) and Drake (13).

All 16 songs (excluding spoken-word skits) on the album concurrently land on the Billboard Hot 100, led by lead single “Houdini” at No. 10. Here’s a recap (all of which are debuts except where noted).

Eminem on the July 27, 2024-dated Hot 100:

“Somebody Save Me” notably reworks Jelly Roll’s “Save Me” (with Lainey Wilson), which ranked in the Hot 100’s top 40 earlier this year after reaching No. 19 last November. “Save Me” also topped the Country Airplay chart for two weeks in December.

With 14 debuts, Eminem ups his career total from 98 to 112 Hot 100 entries. He becomes the 19th act to chart at least 100 songs dating to the survey’s 1958 inception and now has the 11th-most appearances.

Meanwhile, thanks to their featured appearances on The Death of Slim Shady, Sly Pyper, Dem Jointz and Ez Mil all score their first career Hot 100 visits.

Dem Jointz is likewise an established songwriter-producer who claims his first Hot 100 hit under an artist billing with “Road Rage.” Before this week, he logged seven songs on the chart as a credited producer: Eminem’s “Lock It Up,” featuring Anderson .Paak (No. 89 peak in 2020); Ye’s “Jail” (No. 10, 2021), “Believe What I Say” (No. 28, 2021), “Jail Pt. 2” (No. 63, 2021) and “New Again” (No. 68, 2021); Fivio Foreign’s “City of Gods,” featuring Ye and Alicia Keys (No. 46, 2022); and BTS’ “Run BTS” (No. 73, 2022). Dem Jointz has also collaborated with aespa, Dr. Dre, Janet Jackson, NCT 127 and Rihanna. Dem Jointz (real name: Dwayne Abernathy Jr.) shared the 2022 Grammy Award for best rap song for his contributions to Ye’s “Jail.”

Ez Mil also earns his first Hot 100 entry, thanks to his featured credit on “Head Honcho.” The rapper first reached Billboard’s charts in August 2023 with another Eminem collab: “Realest” reached No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart. The 25-year-old, from the Philippines, signed a joint venture deal with Shady Records, Aftermath and Interscope.
