Four Eminem hits consistently rank in the top 10 most streamed tracks from the decade.
You will not struggle to guess what songs are these. It is indeed Em’s signature “The Real Slim Shady”, Oscar-winning “Lose Yourself”, vindictive “Without Me”, and spirit-lifting “’Till I Collapse”.
Twitter account Spotify #00s keeps an eye on the numbers for the 2010s songs. The account diligently records a daily number of streams for over the year, and the top 10 entries remain almost the same. “Yellow” by Coldplay switches places with “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers regularly. “In The End” by Linkin Park is consistently high-ranked. “505” by Arctic Monkeys and “I’m Yours” by Jason Mraz sometimes let hits from Kanye West, Nelly Furtado, Shakira and The White Stripes rise above the line.
Here is the latest example from the Spotify #00s feed that lists streams from Friday, September 3:
The core of the list is occupied by four singles from Eminem, day in day out. In the sound tapestry of the decade, his presence is impossible to ignore. It would not be the same without him.
