The boy bands may reign supreme this week in the UK, but its Eminem’s week in the US. Not only is his movie ‘8 Mile’ at the top of the box office charts (taking double the ticket sales of number two film ‘Santa Clause 2’) but the soundtrack to the movie is at the top of the album chart. The movie has now had the second-best opening ever for an R-rated film (behind Hannibal), while the album is well and truly America’s best selling this week having shifted 702,000 copies to date. The movie is due for release here on 13 Jan.
