Without dropping a new project this year, Eminem is the third most popular rapper and the fourth most popular artist across all genres on lyrics aggregator Genius.
Popularity on Genius is easy to measure. It is based on search queries that people make when they want to look up an artist or any specific lyrics. Month after month, Marshall stayed high up the chart, while trends of popularity for other artists would come and go. And the result is – Eminem is firmly in the top 5 by the end of the year. The final chart was published by Genius.
In 2020 Eminem was voted the lyricist of the year on Genius — a perfectly reasonable position for the artist that drop such a lyrically rich album as “Music to Be Murdered By”. Marshall’s ranking this year shows what he can achieve without even trying.
