Eminem's surprise new album Kamikaze is having a big effect on this week's Official Albums and Singles Charts. 

The rapper takes the top two spots on the latest Official Trending Chart below, which tracks new songs making the biggest climb up the Official Singles Chart Top 100 since last Friday. Album track The Ringer tops the chart, while Lucky You ft. Joyner Lucas is at 2. Both are on course to debut inside this week's Official Singles Chart Top 10, currently at 4 and 7 respectively. 

Elsewhere, pop supergroup LSD - Labrinth, Sia and Diplo - are seeing their latest single Thunderclouds making waves following the release of its visually stunning music video, which has notched up 13.7 million views worldwide since its release last Thursday (Aug 30). According to the latest Official Charts Company data, Thunderclouds is set to be the first Top 40 single from the project, currently at Number 22.

Finally, two brand new releases impact this week's Official Trending Chart: UK rapper AJ Tracey's follow up to his breakthrough hit Butterflies, called Lo(v/s)er and One Shot by London singer Mabel. The track arrives off the back of her guest feature on Jax Jones' Top 20 hit Ring Ring.

About the Official Trending Chart

The Official Trending Chart is a brand new chart launched for 2016 to highlight the hottest new tracks beginning to make an impact in the UK every week.

The Top 20 rundown, published on OfficialCharts.com every Tuesday, based on the first four days’ sales of each chart week, is designed to highlight emerging hits as they begin to scale the Official Charts and build buzz.

The Official Trending Chart ranks titles which are showing week-on-week chart growth, and is the only “new music” chart to reflect audio track sales and streams comprehensively across all services.

Devised by the Official Charts Company in close consultation with labels, retailers and media, the chart since launch has already highlighted emerging hits such as future Number 1 singles Rudimental's These Days, Shotgun by George Ezra, and Jess Glynne's I'll Be There.

The chart is designed to help highlight hit singles in their early stages of their growth, in the light of the shift in release strategies of record labels over the past six months. Under “On Air On Sale”, labels have started to release new music for consumers to buy or stream on the same day as those tracks are released to media (including radio stations and TV).
