In one of the quietest years of his career, Eminem casually crossed another streaming threshold while remaining in Spotify’s top 10.
According to Chartmasters.org, Eminem has accumulated over 59 billion Spotify streams as a lead artist. This puts him at No. 9 on the Most-Streamed Artists on Spotify list. A year ago, in early November 2025, he ranked No. 7 with 53 billion streams. He added roughly six billion lead streams over those 12 months, though that wasn’t enough to keep him in that spot.
Most-Streamed Artists on Spotify: Top 10
Until recently, Em ranked higher for lead streams than for total streams, including features. Now, however, his guest appearances help place him higher in the overall ranking. So Eminem ranks No. 8 for total streams, one place above his lead-stream ranking and higher than his overall position a year ago.
The Top 10 Spotify artists – total streams (lead + feature)
1. Drake – 144.4 billion
2. Taylor Swift – 133.2 billion
3. Bad Bunny – 132.5 billion
4. The Weeknd – 101.5 billion
5. Justin Bieber – 78.9 billion
6. Ariana Grande – 73.4 billion
7. Kanye West – 68.3 billion
8. Eminem – 67 billion
9. Ed Sheeran – 66.3 billion
10. Rihanna – 64.1 billion
Clocking up about 16 million streams daily, Eminem has crossed the 67 billion-stream mark on Spotify, adding roughly seven billion over the past year. Not too bad for an artist who didn’t release a single line of music for the first 9 months of 2026, then dropped one of the most controversial collaborations of his career.
