Will Eminem beat Beyonce for the U.K. Number 1 album?
According to recent reports, Eminem’s latest album Curtain Call 2 is gradually running to the chart summit in the United Kingdom.
Eminem whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III dropped his compilation album Curtain Call 2 on 5th August last week.

Hence, Eminem’s Curtain Call 2 is closely behind Beyonce’s seventh studio album Renaissance.
Based on midweek sales and streaming information, less than 100 chart units separate Beyoncé and Eminem in Friday’s Official Chart Update.
Slim Shady’s newest record serves as a sequel to his 2005 career retrospective album Curtain Call: The Hits. The latter remains to be in the Top 20 even after 512 weeks on the chart. It was also positioned number one for five weeks.
The Detroit hip-hop star has previously ruled the U.K. No. 1 album list for his consecutive last ten records which are dated back to the 2000s The Marshall Mathers LP.
Meanwhile, the 40-year-old diva has led the Official Chart Update for the past week and is currently on track for a second week for the first position.
