There’s no stopping Eminem at the moment: his latest album Kamikaze extends its reign at Number 1 for a fourth consecutive week on the Official Albums Chart, holding off a big new entry from Christine & The Queens.

Chris, the second album from the French artist, debuts at Number 3. The singer/songwriter/producer’s debut, Chaleur Humaine, entered at Number 8 in 2016 and went on to peak at Number 2. Look at Christine & The Queens Official UK Chart history in full.

I was hoping for 'The Greatest Showman' or 'Chris' to be #1, but 'Kamikaze' staying at the top again is fine for now.
