June’s ‘Houdini’ marked Eminem’s 11th UK Number 1, and his 12th studio album, ‘The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)’ is Shady’s 11th No.1 Album in the UK (including the greatest hits compilation ‘Curtain Call’).

The likes of Green Day, The Rolling Stones, Queen, ABBA, and Whitney Houston have BRIT Billion Awards.
Meanwhile, it was recently revealed Eminem is being tipped to headline Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage in 2025.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “It’s been a long time coming but finally, after years of trying, Emily Eavis could be about to get her wish.
“It’s by no means a done deal but with a successful comeback in motion a huge headline slot next year makes sense.”
