Eminem earns his ninth No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated Sept. 15), as Kamikaze opens with 434,000 equivalent album units, according to Nielsen Music, and 11 tracks from the surprise set (released without warning Aug. 31) debut on the Billboard Hot 100.
“Lucky You,” featuring Joyner Lucas, and “The Ringer” launch at Nos. 6 and 8 on the Hot 100, respectively, earning the rapper his 18th and 19th top 10s on the chart. He had last appeared in the top 10 in 2013-14, with the four-week No. 1 “The Monster,” featuring Rihanna.
Among acts who are primarily rappers, Eminem trails only Drake (31 Hot 100 top 10s), JAY-Z (21) and Lil Wayne (20), while passing Ludacris (18).
Plus, with both songs debuting in the top 10, Eminem becomes just the fifth act to have bowed multiple songs on the top 10 simultaneously.
