Eminem opens this week’s Billboard 200 at No. 1 with the record-setting The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce).
The concept album earns 281,000 equivalent album units in its first week, including 164,500 in streaming equivalent album units (220.08 million on-demand official streams of the tracks), 114,000 in album sales and 2,500 in track equivalent album units.
