Eminem fought off Scissor Sisters to retain the number one spot in the UK Album Chart for a second week. The Detroit rapper – also known as Slim Shady – has achieved an incredible amount of success throughout his stellar career, with approximately 80 million records sold and eleven Grammy awards won, and another UK number one only goes to demonstrate his continued popularity worldwide.

Eminem will headline T In The Park in Scotland this summer, as well as playing at Oxegen Festival just outside Dublin.

T In The Park tickets are on sale now, and Eminem will be joined by Muse, Kasabian, Jay-Z, Black Eyed Peas, Dizzee Rascal, Vampire Weekend and The Prodigy amongst others. Day tickets are currently available from £104, while weekend tickets will set festival fans back at least £169.
