Eminem’s staying power in the streaming era just manifested itself in another ranking — he is officially one of the most playlisted artists of the decade on Spotify and is still rising.
Marshall is officially one of the most playlisted artists on Spotify over the past five years, steadily climbing the ranks while sharing space with some of the biggest names in pop and hip hop.
Chartmetric presented the visualised chart, which tracks public playlists from user-generated collections to Spotify’s editorial and algorithm-driven selections, and it has been dominated by familiar faces. Month after month, Drake holds an unshakable grip on No. 1, while other mainstays like Rihanna, Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran, The Weeknd, and Justin Bieber round out the Top 10. Eminem, however, has been the dark horse — starting the decade at No. 10, briefly dipping out in late 2020, and then surging back up in 2021
By April 2023, he had climbed to No. 7, then hovered between No. 7 and No. 8 before making another leap to No. 6 following the release of “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)”. Eminem’s ability to maintain a strong position among streaming giants — many of whom built their careers in the playlist era — speaks volumes about his lasting impact.
From fan-made collections to algorithm-driven and editorial playlists, Em’s catalogue continues to be a go-to for millions of listeners — proving once again that his legacy is not just built on past success but on a career that keeps evolving.
