"Eminem has breezed to the top of the US album chart with his latest release. The rapper&amp;#039;s new collection The Marshall Mathers LP 2 topped the Billboard 200 chart with first week sales of 792,000 copies.  The album claims the second-highest first-week sales in the US so far this year, following Justin Timberlake&amp;#039;s mammoth sales of 968k copies of The 20/20 Experience back in March, reports Billboard. The Marshall Mathers LP 2 marks Eminem&amp;#039;s seventh consecutive number one album in the US. Only his 1999 debut album  The Slim Shady LP has missed the top spot, peaking at number two. Eminem&amp;#039;s latest album also scored bigger first-week sales than his previous effort Recovery, which started with 741,000 copies in 2010. Meanwhile, The Marshall Mathers LP 2 topped the UK chart this past weekend, scoring first-week sales of 143,000 copies.
