Eminem ties Drake as “Lose Yourself” becomes his second song to pass 3 billion Spotify streams.
So far, Drake has taken two songs, “One Dance” feat. Wizkid & Kyla and his solo track “God’s Plan”, past the 3 billion mark. Until recently, he was the only rapper to do so. Now, Eminem can claim the same achievement. His Oscar-winning anthem of resolve, “Lose Yourself”, crossed the 3 billion mark after adding nearly one million streams in the latest daily update. It joins “Without Me”, which hit 3 billion earlier this year.
Next up is “Mockingbird”. With 2.6 billion streams and the daily count hovering on the wrong side of a million, it will still need well over a year to join them at its current pace. But it is a matter of “when”, not “if”, as the interest in Eminem’s music remains unwavering, and his fan base grows steadily day by day.
But today we celebrate the song that presidents love with the same passion as NFL players do. And that reach keeps “Lose Yourself” alive.
