Eminem’s 2006 hit “Shake That” is shaking things up again, proving that nearly 20 years later, it’s still got legs on the UK charts. The track, originally from Curtain Call: The Hits, is climbing alongside some of his biggest classics, showing that Slim Shady’s catalog remains a force to be reckoned with.
Last week, “Shake That”—featuring the late Nate Dogg’s iconic smooth vocals—snuck onto the Official Singles Sales chart at No. 98. This week, it’s leaped 12 spots to No. 86, hitting a new high. Over on the Official Singles Downloads chart, it’s also on the rise, jumping to No. 81. This isn’t its first UK rodeo—it charted back in 2006—but its sudden comeback after almost two decades is turning heads. Even with a new album dropping last summer, Eminem’s older jams are stealing the spotlight.
And it’s not just “Shake That” making moves. Two of his all-time bangers, “Without Me” and “Lose Yourself,” are climbing the Official Hip Hop and R&B Singles chart, landing at No. 25 and No. 26. Both tracks gained at least five spots this week, hinting at a wider surge for Eminem’s classics. “Shake That” might not list Nate Dogg on the UK charts, but his unforgettable hook helped make it a standout from the 2006 Curtain Call compilation—a fan favorite that’s clearly still got juice.
As “Shake That” nears its 20th birthday, this unexpected revival shows Eminem’s music isn’t fading anytime soon. So, how high can it go? Fans are watching to see if this throwback can keep climbing in 2025.
