Marshall’s dominance in the streaming era is undeniable, as proven by the new milestone of 53 billion streams on Spotify he has just hit.
His main catalogue accounts for 47 billion streams out of 53, while an additional 6 billion come from his features.
Em remains the seventh most-streamed artist on the platform across all genres and the second most-streamed rapper, behind Drake. Even more impressive, Eminem holds the title of the most-streamed artist from the pre-streaming era by a wide margin, and it is unlikely that he will be ever challenged on that title.
Here is how Eminem stacks up against Spotify’s all-time streaming stars in total streams (main catalogue + features):
1. Drake: 106.3 billion
2. Taylor Swift: 95.4 billion
3. Bad Bunny: 88.1 billion
4. The Weeknd: 72.9 billion
5. Justin Bieber: 59.4 billion
6. Ed Sheeran: 54.7 billion
7. Eminem: 53 billion
8. Kanye West: 51 billion
9. Travis Scott: 50.8 billion
10. Ariana Grande: 49.2 billion
Eminem’s ability to maintain relevance in a streaming-dominated industry while hailing from the CD era is nothing short of remarkable. From his iconic early hits like “Lose Yourself” to newer bangers like “Houdini”, his music remains a staple on playlists worldwide.
With numbers like these, it is clear that Eminem’s legacy is not just alive — it is thriving.
