Eminem’s Recovery marks six weeks as UK number one
by SimpleT on Aug.23, 2010, under Eminem
It’s official – Eminem’s latest album Recovery is his most successful ever in the UK, having just celebrated its sixth non-consecutive week on the top spot. It first appeared at the summit of the UK Albums Chart on Sunday 27th June and stayed there for two weeks before being pipped by Kylie Minogue’s Aphrodite. However, it soon rallied again and spent a further three weeks at the top before dropping to second after Arcade Fire’s The Suburbs. Then, on 15th August 2010, it triumphantly returned to number one.
The six week reign makes the album Eminem’s longest-running UK number one ever, ahead of 2002’s The Eminem Show and 2005’s Curtain Call – The Hits, which both spent five weeks at the top of the UK Albums Chart. Recovery, which is also Eminem’s seventh UK number one album, has also produced two US Billboard Hot 100 number one hit singles: Not Afraid and Love the Way You Lie (ft. Rihanna).

All in all, 2010 has been a very good year so far for Eminem.
