Morgan Wallen and Post Malone block Eminem's Houdini from debuting on top of charts

Eminem's Houdini debuts at No 2, the rapper’s highest charting single in a decade.

Eminem's latest single "Houdini" debuts at No 2 on the charts, marking the rapper’s highest-charting single in over a decade. 

Despite its strong performance, "Houdini" was unable to claim the top spot, blocked by Post Malone and Morgan Wallen’s hit "I Had Some Help."

"Houdini" is a lead-up to Eminem's forthcoming 12th album, “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce),” which is expected to be released this summer. 

The single's debut follows a surprise four-song performance by Eminem at “Live From Detroit: The Concert at Michigan Central,” an event that also featured artists like Diana Ross, Big Sean, and Jack White. 

The official music video for "Houdini," which features guest appearances from 50 Cent, Pete Davidson, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Alchemist, includes references to Eminem’s 2002 hit, “Without Me.” 

The video sees Eminem stepping into a time-traveling portal, hinting at the album’s nostalgia-induced themes.

Post Malone and Morgan Wallen’s "I Had Some Help" continues its reign at No. 1, now in its fourth week at the top. 

The song, which is the second No. 1 country hit this year following Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em,” has garnered 59.3 million airplay impressions and 45.6 million official streams, according to Luminate.

Eminem's "Houdini," released on May 31, achieved nearly 49 million streams and 4 million radio impressions in its first week. 

The single is currently No. 8 on Spotify’s US Top 50 chart and No 4 on the streaming service’s Top 50 global songs chart. Internationally, "Houdini" has found success, debuting at No 1 on the UK songs chart.

In the singles chart, there are no other new entries in the Top 10, with most positions held by repeat titles from previous weeks. 

On the Billboard 200 albums chart, Shaboozey’s latest LP, “Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going,” debuts at No 5. 

The album's lead single, “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” remains in the Top Five of the Hot 100. 

ATEEZ secures its fifth top 10-charting effort with “Golden Hour: Part.1” debuting at No 2, while Taylor Swift continues to lead the list for a seventh consecutive week.
