Em’s compilation is his seventh project to earn 2.2 billion streams on the platform – only from original tracks.
Released in 2005, “Curtain Call: The Hits” featured all Em’s main hits to date from other albums, three new songs, notable features with such artists as Jay-Z and Notorius B.I.G. and an Oscar-winning track recorded for “8 mile”.
Naturally, the count would be astronomical if we added all streams coming from Shady’s early hits. But songs as “The Way I Am”, “Without Me”, “Sing for the Moment”, “Cleanin’ Out My Closet”, and more belong to other projects, and their streams go to the album of their origin. So it leaves only eight tracks released exclusively on “Curtain Call: The Hits” to work on its streaming history.
In fact, three songs pull mostly all the weight here — “Lose Yourself” (1.2B), “Shake That” (297M) and “When I’m Gone” (351M). But every stream counts, and together, these eight tracks brought 2.2 billion to Eminem’s Spotify streaming history:
Intro — 12,4 million
Dead Wrong — 66 million
FACK — 71 million
Lose Yourself — 1.27 billion
Renegade — 95,6 million
Shake That — 297,4 million
Stan (Live At 43rd Grammy Awards) — 35,9 million
When I’m Gone — 351,8 million
