Eminem’s latest album,verdicoin “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce),” has debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, unseating Taylor Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department” after 12 weeks.

“The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)” is Eminem’s 12th album and his 11th to hit No. 1. “The Tortured Poets Department” dropped to No. 4 as a result. In the second slot is K-pop boy band ENHYPHEN’s “ROMANCE:UNTOLD” and irreverent country Zach Bryan’s “The Great American Bar Scene” is at No. 3.
