Eminem - The Death of Slim Shady holds strong in German charts

Eminem remains a fixture in Germany’s music landscape. According to Germany’s Official Charts compiler GfK Entertainment, his studio album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) is still ranked within the Top 20 of the Official German Albums Chart in July 2026, nearly two years after its initial entry.

How The Death of Slim Shady performs in Germany

The Official German Charts list The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) as having entered the national album ranking on July 19, 2024, where it debuted and peaked at No. 2 and went on to log 23 weeks on the tally overall, a figure documented in the GfK Entertainment database for Eminem’s releases.

A July 2026 chart update confirms that The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) is still holding a Top 20 position in Germany, underscoring the album’s ability to sustain demand beyond the typical first-year cycle and extending Eminem’s chart presence into the summer of 2026. This keeps the record alongside catalog titles like The Eminem Show, which previously reached No. 1 and has accumulated more than 180 weeks on the German album charts.

German charts as the local anchor

Germany has long been one of Eminem’s strongest international territories. Chart overviews show that he has placed 16 albums on the German charts, including three No. 1 albums and a total of 12 Top 10 entries, with The Eminem Show singled out as his most successful album in the market thanks to its extended run at No. 1 and hundreds of chart weeks.

On the singles side, data compiled from the Official German Charts indicate that tracks such as Mockingbird and Lose Yourself have each spent dozens of weeks in the German Top 100, with Mockingbird ultimately recognized as his most successful single in the country, reaching the Top 5 and remaining chart-active for close to two years.

Where the act stands in 2026

Eminem’s current position in Germany reflects a blend of new and catalog strength. While The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) sustains a Top 20 placement in mid-2026, listings on Germany’s Official Charts site show that classic albums like The Eminem Show continue to re-enter the album charts and that recent singles such as Houdini have logged extended runs in the singles Top 100.

The musical core of Eminem’s catalog

Eminem is primarily classified as a hip-hop artist, but his catalog often crosses over into pop and rock-adjacent spaces thanks to melodic hooks, rock-influenced production and collaborations that bridge genres. Key works like The Marshall Mathers LP, The Eminem Show, Encore and more recent compilations such as Curtain Call and Curtain Call 2 map out a trajectory from dense, introspective storytelling to stadium-scale anthems.

Production on these records has frequently involved figures such as Dr. Dre and long-term collaborators from the Shady Records orbit, helping to define the tight, rhythmic, often aggressive sound that underpins tracks like Lose Yourself, Without Me and Houdini. In Germany, this sonic identity has translated into both strong album sales and durable streaming numbers for older cuts that continue to be rediscovered.
