The latest Genius weekly chart dropped with a mix of fresh releases and enduring favourites. Bruno Mars took the top spot with his smooth new hit “I Just Might”, but it’s Eminem who once again proves that his classics remain the staple of modern culture.
Genius shared its Monday update with the caption:

The chart uses lyric page views and search data to rank songs. Hence, it reflects what listeners are most curious to understand or revisit. Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” sits at No. 6, while “Mockingbird” follows closely at No. 10, ahead of viral newcomers.
Charting alongside today’s biggest hits
Bruno Mars leads with his new single “I Just Might”, followed by KATSEYE’s “Internet Girl” and Radiohead’s resurged classic “Creep”. A$AP Rocky, Zach Bryan, RAYE, and The Kid Laroi also feature prominently, showing a mix of hip-hop, alternative, and pop influences.

No Holiday Breaks
Even during the holiday rush, Eminem didn’t vanish from the chart. While festive songs flooded playlists, “Lose Yourself” stayed locked in the Genius top 10, surrounded by crooners and carols. It’s a quiet flex: Em doesn’t need a new release to chart; his words do the work.
So, he has never left. During December’s flood of Christmas classics, “Lose Yourself” and “Mockingbird” still held firm in the Top 10. Looking at the Genius 30-day chart, both tracks outrank many seasonal staples like “Silent Night” and “Mary, Did You Know?”

He’s Inevitable
Eminem’s lyrical dominance is not confined to genre or a specific demographic. While younger artists chase the next viral trend, Marshall’s storytelling and rhyme schemes still draw fans back – some to relive an era, others to study the craft.
Clearly, these placements are not driven by marketing cycles or press blitzes. They’re fuelled by curiosity, nostalgia, and the lasting power of words that hit hard even years after release.
