Eminem’s surprise 2018 album “Kamikaze” has officially crossed 3.5 billion streams on Spotify, proving its staying power more than six years after release. The project now ranks as Eminem’s seventh most-streamed album on the platform.
Originally released as a bold response to criticism of his previous album “Revival,” Kamikaze was filled with sharp lyrics, aggressive energy, and no-holds-barred commentary. It resonated instantly with fans and critics alike, debuting at No. 1 in 21 countries, including the United States—marking Eminem’s ninth consecutive No. 1 album in the U.S.
