Eminem is the first rapper to lock in over 21 billion views on YouTube. And this is only the number of views on his official YouTube channel, without features, clips uploaded to other channels and fan-made videos.
Eminem launched his official channel in 2007, and since then, the number of his subscribers has grown to almost 50 million.
Em consistently remains the most viewed rapper on YouTube, breaking away from whoever is at No.2 for more than 100 million views a week. It is not surprising, as Eminem’s popularity transcends the genre. He is one of the most successful artists globally. Look at the current YouTube Top Artists weekly chart:
1. Ed Sheeran – 7.12 million views
2. Eminem – 3.97 million views
3. Justin Bieber – 2.92 million views
