Eminem #1 in UK midweeks; Avril Lavigne #11
Eminem is heading for one of 2013’s fastest selling albums!
The Marshall Mathers LP 2 tops the Official Albums Chart Midweek Update.
Eminem looks set to score his seventh UK Number 1 album this weekend. The US rapper’s latest release, The Marshall Mathers LP 2, is also on track to become one of this year’s fastest selling albums, selling over 73,000 copies since it went on sale, according to the Official Charts Company’s latest sales data.
French DJ duo Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories is currently 2013’s fastest selling artist album, with a sales tally of more than 165,000 copies during its first week on sale back in May, while Now That’s What I Call Music 85 is the fastest selling album over-all, selling an incredible 262,000 copies during its first week of release back in July.
The Marshall Mathers LP 2, which is a continuation of the Eminem’s 2000 album, The Marshall Mathers LP, features US rapper’s recent Top 40 hits Berzerk, Rap God, Survival and the Number 1 smash, The Monster FT Rihanna.
2012 X Factor winner James Arthur is on course to enter at Number 2 on Sunday with his self-titled debut album, the singer’s debut offering is currently outselling Tinie Tempah’s Demonstration (3) by two copies to one. Both acts performed at last weekend’s BBC Teen Awards.
This week’s Top 5 is completed by Andre Rieu & Johann Strauss Orchestra’s Music Of The Night (4) and former Westlife vocalist Shane Filan’s debut solo album, You And Me, is at 5 today.
