The lyrics platform estimates the popularity of artists by the interest in their lyrics, and Eminem is the one who always comes on top.
His being the fifth most viewed hip hop artist did not come as a surprise. He is ranked 7th on the list of the Top 10 artists of all genres; there were only 2 pop artists in the Top 5, with Drake and Eminem being hot on their heels.
But here is the official Genius rating confirming this.
