Eminem’s storytelling masterpiece “Stan” has just crossed 1.3 billion streams on Spotify, making it his ninth track across all credits to hit that mark.
Released on November 20, 2000, the track pulls in around 500,000 plays daily.
Originally the third single from “The Marshall Mathers LP”, “Stan” peaked at No. 51 on the Billboard Hot 100, but its true impact went far beyond that. The song topped charts in 12 countries, including the UK, Germany, Australia, and Ireland, and later became one of Eminem’s most critically praised tracks.
More than just a hit, “Stan” earned a place on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll. It also left its mark on the dictionary, giving rise to the word stan — now a widely used term for a superfan.
With new generations discovering it every day, “Stan” keeps living on as one of Eminem’s most defining songs.
