Legendary Aftermath producer Mark Batson is no stranger to creating magic with Eminem, and one track from “Music to Be Murdered By” has hit a milestone that truly resonates with him.
Batson recently took to social media to celebrate “Premonition – Intro” surpassing 100 million streams, sharing a milestone provided by music credit database Muso.ai. Reflecting on his journey, he wrote:
100 million streams today on this platinum string arrangement and production for #Eminem. Classical composition for the masses. Too live for 2025. Thankful to be heard… from practicing piano in Bushwick Projects.

By the way, the 100 million streams reported are only those that come from the US. Spotify alone accounts for 83 million streams, while YouTube adds another 19 million. With platforms like Apple Music, Tidal, Deezer, and more, we’ll get a bigger number while obviously not filtered geographically. The reach of Batson’s art, amplified by Eminem’s unmatched global influence, undoubtedly extends far beyond this declared number.
Together, they show again that great music does not just stop at one milestone. It keeps climbing.
