Eminem just pulled off another chart-topping trick with “Houdini”. The release of this fire track wasn’t just a musical event; it was a Spotify takeover.
On the very day “Houdini” dropped, Slim Shady defied gravity and the charts by rocketing 17 spots up the Spotify Artist Chart. Em went from chilling outside the Top 10 to reclaiming his rightful place – back in the Top 10.
This powerful rise to No.7 shows not only the steady loyalty of Em’s fans that have never withered during the previous dry spell. It showcases the pull “Houdini” has on a general audience that was happy to hear new music from Marshall. Millions of listeners worldwide tuned in to witness Shady’s magic, sending his artist ranking up.
Obviously, “Houdini” itself cast a spell on the Spotify Top Songs Global Chart, debuting at a respectable No.3 spot with over 7.8 million streams in just 24 hours.
Things are looking bright, and “Houdini” sets the bar high for Eminem’s upcoming album “The Death of Slim Shady”.
