There seems to be no stopping the chart force that is Eminem. The rapper has just achieved his 6th #1 album on the UK Albums Chart with ‘Recovery’. The LP now holds the distinction of having the best single week sales of any album in that territory thus far this year with sales of 140k. Eminem also has 2 singles in the top 10 of the Official UK Singles Chart as ‘Not Afraid’ sits at #5 and ‘Love The Way You Lie (Ft. Rihanna)‘ debuted at No. 7.
Another US import to score on the UK charts is Katy Perry, whose new single, ‘California Gurls’, has hit #1 on the Singles Chart. That marks the 2nd song of Perry’s to claim the op spot (the 1st being ‘I Kissed A Girl’ back in 2008). The US might not be very good at playing World Cup football but it continues it’s dominance on the music scene! {Source}
