The gap between the top 3 and the rest of the pack is impressive and shows how relevant and popular Eminem music still is.
He just reached a new streaming milestone that combines his streaming numbers as a lead artist with the numbers coming from features – a whopping 27 billion.
Interestingly, this trio is the same who holds the Top 3 on the list of the most streamed artists of the 2010s decade.
