Eminem Charts A New Top 10 As His Recent Album Returns

In the summer of 2025, Eminem released a documentary titled Stans. The film tells part of the story of his meteoric rise and his incredible and nearly-unmatched commercial success in the music industry, but filmmakers decided to try something different with the project. Instead of simply outlining Eminem’s life, his fans play a large role in sharing what his music has meant to them throughout the decades.

Stans was accompanied by a soundtrack of the same name, which quickly became a bestselling release in the United Kingdom several months ago. Stans is a hit again in that nation, and as it returns to one roster, the soundtrack also debuts on another, earning the hip-hop legend one more top 10 smash.

Eminem’s Stans Soundtrack Debuts

The Stans soundtrack launches on the Official Hip Hop and R&B Albums chart this frame. The tally ranks the bestselling projects that the Official Charts Company classifies as hip-hop, R&B, or rap, and it’s on that list where Stans arrives at No. 10.

How Many Top 10 Albums Has Eminem Charted?

Throughout his career, Eminem has sent 21 titles to the Official Hip Hop and R&B Albums chart. 15 of those projects have spent time within the top 10, with Stans becoming Eminem’s milestone fifteenth placement inside that special region.

Eminem Last Scored a New Top 10 Less Than Two Years Ago

It’s only been about a year and a half since Eminem earned a new appearance on the Official Hip Hop and R&B Albums chart in the U.K. In July 2024, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) launched at No. 1. That set racked up half a dozen stays on the throne and is now up to 61 turns somewhere on the 40-spot roster.

Eminem’s Living Proof Debuted Nearly a Decade Ago

It’s been nearly a decade since one of Eminem’s releases has peaked in a lower position than where Stans arrives this frame. Back in the fall of 2017, Living Proof spent just one week at No. 39, and it has not been seen since.

In the nearly 10 years that have passed, six full-lengths by the rapper have launched on the Official Hip Hop and R&B Albums chart. Five of those efforts — Revival, Kamikaze, Music to Be Murdered By, Curtain Call 2, and The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) — have led the charge, while his Fortnight Radio soundtrack missed out on ruling by just one rung.

Stans Competes with New Releases from ASAP Rocky and Esdeekid

Eminem claims one of three debuts on the current Official Hip Hop and R&B Albums chart, and Stans is the second-loftiest of the trio. Newcomer Esdeekid launches Rebel on the list at No. 1. That introductory project has been performing well on various other rosters in the U.K. for weeks, and now has finally conquered the genre-specific list.

A$AP Rocky’s Don’t Be Dumb kicks off its time on the tally at No. 38, while favorites from Frank Ocean, Kanye West – now known simply as Ye – Childish Gambino, and The Weeknd return to the roster.

Stans Returns to the Soundtracks Chart

As it debuts on the Official Hip Hop and R&B Albums chart, Stans can be found on another list in the U.K., one which it has appeared on in the past. Stans returns to the Official Soundtrack Albums ranking, which, as its name states, is specific to projects connected to film or TV titles.

Stans reappears at No. 7, reaching the top 10 for the first time. Eminem’s latest opened at No. 19 on the Official Soundtrack Albums chart in September of last year. The following frame, the full-length dipped to No. 38, and it’s been missing from the soundtracks-only tally for months.

Three Eminem Albums are Currently Charting in the U.K.

Three albums by Eminem appear on the charts in the U.K. at the moment. Curtain Call – The Hits declines on three rosters, while Curtain Call 2 climbs on a pair. Those companion releases can both be found on the Official Albums chart and the Official Albums Streaming roster. Curtain Call – The Hits dips on the Official Hip Hop and R&B Albums list, while its sequel does not make the cut.
