His latest album, “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce),” released on July 12, 2024, is currently in the Top 10 on the Rhythmic radio charts. The first single from the album, “Houdini,” further solidified his grip on music and popular culture, entering the Billboard Global 200 and Streaming Songs charts at #1 and debuting at #2 on the Hot 100. The song currently sits in the top 20 of the Spotify Global and US charts, the Apple Music Global chart, and the Top 40 and Rhythmic radio charts.
