Eminem is currently in a quiet period of his career, as he stopped promoting his latest album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) , months ago. After delivering multiple hit singles and expanding the set with several new tunes, the project was nominated for multiple Grammys. It didn't take home any prizes to add to the rapper's already packed shelf at the most recent ceremony, and now it seems that the American musician has retreated again.
Fans remain eager to hear more from the superstar. Although there's no word yet on when he may release new music or what he has planned next, his loyal followers continue to return to both the classics and his most recent effort. This week, in the U.K., multiple Eminem projects are once again gaining ground on the same tally.
On the latest edition of the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Albums chart, which ranks the bestselling full-lengths in those genres across the U.K., Eminem claims four spots. All four collections are currently on the rise. Some move up just a few positions, while others see double-digit gains.
At the moment, Curtain Call: The Hits is Eminem's highest-rising win. That's typically the case, as it's his longest-charting success story and a project built around the singles that helped make him a global superstar. This frame, it soars on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Albums chart, jumping from No. 25 to No. 16.
Eminem's most recent full-length, The Death of Slim Shady , increases its position from No. 24 to No. 21. Just a few spots behind that win, The Eminem Show leaps 10 spaces from No. 37 to No. 27. The Marshall Mathers LP , yet another early-career release, is also gaining ground. This time around, it moves up four places to settle at No. 30.
With four placements on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Albums chart, Eminem comes in just behind Kendrick Lamar in terms of total real estate owned. Lamar sees five titles — GNX , Good Kid, M.A.A.D City , To Pimp a Butterfly , Damn and Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers — all take up space on the same ranking. Curtain Call: The Hits is Eminem's Biggest Win
Three of Eminem's releases — The Death of Slim Shady , The Eminem Show and The Marshall Mathers LP — only appear on this one chart in the U.K. Curtain Call: The Hits , meanwhile, can be found on a total of four rankings, the most among any of his releases. Its sequel, Curtain Call 2 , appears on two rosters: the main list of the most consumed albums in the country, and the Official Albums Streaming chart…but it doesn't manage to find space on the genre-specific tally.
All four of Eminem's collections have hit No. 1, and most have spent hundreds of frames on the chart. Only The Death of Slim Shady has yet to reach double-digit weeks. In fact, it hasn't even spent a full year on the list, though it seems like it will do so in the coming months. The longest-charting of the bunch is Curtain Call: The Hits , which recently passed 900 frames on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Albums ranking.

King and Duchess of Edinburgh visit Royal Windsor Flower Show
The King has visited the Royal Windsor Flower Show, which this year is inspired by an idea from his book. Charles, who has a passion for gardening, stopped to smell the flowers during his visit to the show which is billed as 'a joyful one-day celebration of gardening, nature, food and traditional crafts'. Gardener Alan Titchmarsh, who is the honorary president of the Royal Windsor Rose & Horticultural Society, helped to welcome the royal party including the Duchess of Edinburgh who officially opened the event. The theme for this year's show, held at the York Club in Windsor Great Park, is Patterns in Nature' inspired by Charles's 2010 book called Harmony: A New Way Of Looking At Our World. The King's Foundation explains Charles's philosophy of harmony is aimed at understanding 'the balance, order and relationships between ourselves and the natural world' to 'create a more sustainable future'. It adds: 'The Harmony philosophy sees everything in nature as interconnected, including ourselves. 'This means taking a holistic approach to the challenges facing our planet, and looking to solve these challenges by working with nature, rather than against her.' Apart from looking at the displays Charles smiled and shook hands with members of the public and Sophie chatted with Chelsea pensioners. There were also expert talks, demonstrations and hands-on workshops on offer for those who attended. Saturday was the 118th edition of the show, which has Charles as its patron.

Playboi Carti Nearly Hits No. 1 Following 67,000% Sales Surge
Playboi Carti's Music returns to Billboard's Top Album Sales chart at No. 2 following its CD ... More release, marking his highest-ever position on that tally. INGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA - MARCH 16: Rapper Playboi Carti debuts his new album "I Am Music" onstage during the Rolling Loud Festival at Hollywood Park Grounds on March 16, 2025 in Inglewood, California. (Photo by) When Playboi Carti released his new album Music earlier this spring, it was originally only available via streaming platforms and digital download storefronts like iTunes and Amazon. That's not uncommon for projects that shift release dates, as sometimes, even the biggest names in pop and hip-hop can change plans at the last minute and decide to drop a full-length with just a few days' notice. That typically means physical copies will arrive later. Music became available on CD more than two months after it hit streaming sites, and a vinyl edition is slated to arrive later in June. The release of the hugely successful title on CD helps push it back onto a number of rankings, and it nearly earns the rapper his first champion on one Billboard tally. Music reappears on this week's Top Album Sales chart, the ranking of the bestselling EPs and full-lengths in the United States. It breaks back onto the list and settles in the runner-up spot, which marks a new career high point for Carti on this roster. The only project preventing him from securing his first career No. 1 is I'm the Problem by Morgan Wallen. That set easily conquered the tally last time around and refuses to budge. The country project may lead the charge on the Top Album Sales chart for several more frames. While it didn't get to dominate the sales-only roster, Music did bring Carti back to the summit on the Billboard 200. Before its return, Music already stood as Carti's loftiest winner on the Top Album Sales chart. The set opened at No. 3 back in late March, coming in behind Hot by Le Sserafim and Mayhem by Lady Gaga, which dipped to the runner-up space in its second frame on the tally. When Music debuted, it beat the No. 5 high point that Whole Lotta Red reached in June 2021. Music experienced a massive sales spike thanks to its CD release. The week before it became available on a physical format, the title sold just under 100 copies. The following frame, it shipped 17,500 CDs and digital downloads (per Luminate) — a growth of more than 67,000% in just a few days.
