Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” reaches momentous milestone

Eminem’s catalog includes more hit songs than almost any two other rap superstars combined. He’s been around for so long that he’s released multiple compilations of smashes, and he regularly adds to his list of winners whenever he has new music to share.

Among one of the most impressive discographies of all time, one track stands out as particularly meaningful for Eminem: “Lose Yourself.” It is one of his top-performing cuts, and one of the most successful rap songs of all time.

Eminem makes it to 500 weeks on the Rap Digital Song Sales chart with one smash for the first time. It’s incredibly uncommon for any tune to live on any Billboard tally for 500 frames, and while “Lose Yourself” is not the first to do so, it is one of the only hip-hop smashes to come even close to that milestone.

Only four of Eminem’s singles have racked up triple-digit-week stays on the Rap Digital Song Sales chart. “Till I Collapse,” his collaboration with Nate Dogg, serves as his second-longest-running win, with 184 weeks on the tally. Coming behind that cut are “Not Afraid” with 125 turns and “Love the Way You Lie” with Rihanna, which has thus far managed 112 frames on the list – 12 of which have been at No. 1.
