We’re only four months into 2025, but Eminem is already breaking records.
According to Spotify data, the rap legend has racked up over 2 billion new streams this year alone as a lead artist — pushing his all-time total to a staggering 49.8 billion in that category. When you include features, the number jumps to 56.3 billion streams overall.
That puts Eminem at:
-
#7 most-streamed artist of all time
-
#2 most-streamed rapper in 2025 (behind only Drake)
Who’s in the Top 10?
There are only three rappers in Spotify’s Top 10 most streamed artists right now:
-
Drake
-
Eminem
-
Kanye West (currently sitting at No. 10)
Despite newer acts dominating playlists and social media trends, Eminem’s numbers prove his catalog has unmatched staying power — from old-school bangers like “Lose Yourself” and “Stan” to modern cuts from “Music to Be Murdered By” and beyond.
Is “The Death of Slim Shady” the Next Big Wave?
With a new album on the horizon, Eminem fans are wondering if 2025 will be the year of Slim Shady’s ultimate return. Titled “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce)”, the upcoming project is already making noise — and streaming numbers suggest the world is ready.
Whether it’s nostalgia, lyrical dominance, or the mystique of Shady himself, the world isn’t just listening — they’re locked in.
Final Word
While the rap game evolves, Eminem remains a constant — with numbers that rival today’s most viral artists and a fanbase that spans generations.
Love him or hate him, Shady’s not done — not even close.
