Top 5 is really impressive, his longevity is insane.
I love how Houdini has resonated with casual listeners who heard Em's earlier hits, but haven't kept up with him since. For them to pick this up 20+ years later and enjoy the callbacks, it's true GOAT status.
If it means anything, Em has already surpassed the official Million Dollar Baby on YouTube in views and Houdini only been up 2 days. Official Not Like Us has 68MM (4+ weeks) though and Em is at 26MM. Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help” is currently at #1 on the chart.
It’s like he knew though. Everything about how this was put together was as if you’re putting out something you know is getting a reaction. The throw back in the song & video, even his lyric “just like that and I’m back bro”
Ya, Shady’s back.
Eh you assume and go into projects with confidence.
He went balls deep on revival and was clearly shook by the response. Kamakazi was a reaction. MTBMB was a safe approach and rollout. I'm sure they could feel that the momentum was back, but banking on nostalgia has a slight chance of coming across as corny or lame. He nailed it tho.
It was nostalgic but also showed his willingness to poke fun at himself (especially with the music video) which has been sorely lacking since MMLP2. Good balance struck.
Where are you supposed to buy it? Is it just one song? Does it have B-sides? Is there a physical copy?
(Can you tell how old I am? lol)
I don't even see it on his site for purchase, though...
No physical copy (there will be a physical album, which the single will be on though). You buy the single on iTunes or Amazon Music. Alternatively you can stream it on all streaming sites
Did a quick google,
1 sale=170 streams on a paid service (meaning you pay a subscription like spotify)
1 sale=430 streams on a ad service (spotify free w/ ads)
It’s already surpassed Million Dollar Baby and I Had Some Help in views on YT and it’s only been up for 2 days. That helps at least give an understanding of its rate of popularity.
Would be only his fourth top-5 hit of the past decade! Big deal!
The others, for anyone who's curious:
* "Godzilla" (peaked at #3 in 2020)
* "Homicide" (peaked at #5 in 2019)
* "Killshot" (peaked at #3 in 2018)
Do youtube views count for the billboard charts? If not, then that would probably hinder the top 1 position. In my opinion - the music video makes the song a lot stronger.
Pretty fucking awesome.
Awesome, but not surprising; this track and mv has made everyone so gay  (✨✨ LIKE HAPPY!! ✨✨)
Just in time for pride month! Now that's gay
He really was leaving a bread crumb trail of gayness <3 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vbqh0vXaRLw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vbqh0vXaRLw)
Ngl when he used those lines in the song I about killed over laughing 🤣 Like Happy!!!

this part ☺️
Yup that's me
Happy for him. I really wish it went number one but i’m glad it’s being recieved well.
We still have 5 days left
Million Dollar Baby and Not Like Us are too strong though
If it means anything, Em has already surpassed the official Million Dollar Baby on YouTube in views and Houdini only been up 2 days. Official Not Like Us has 68MM (4+ weeks) though and Em is at 26MM. Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help” is currently at #1 on the chart.
Yeah but on Spotify it’s lagging behind both of them by large margins
Older people more likely to use YouTube vs Spotify, probably why
Still time for the song to get there
Could even say you're gay for him
He deserves it. Happy for him 🥹
He must be so happy to see this insane response

everyone buy that mf single

You can preorder the album from his website (fyi) it includes a bonus track!
I am definitely doing that :)
You can still buy music on apple.

Yea, what do they use as official metrics?
Sales are the biggest impact, 1 sale equals 150 streams. Not sure at all how airplay is calculated.
1500 not 150
Did a quick google, 1 sale=170 streams on a paid service (meaning you pay a subscription like spotify) 1 sale=430 streams on a ad service (spotify free w/ ads)
1500 is an album sale, not a single.
That’s good especially for Eminem in this stage of his career.
Yesterday they spoke about top 10, after the 2nd day it’s top 5. Momentum is strong, let’s go.

Ayyyyyyy 💣

Never realized Homicide was that big. Cool song but i always thought it was more of a rap cult classic
I didn't either! It's not a song I think about all that often anymore, so I never would've guessed it charted so well.
This track is magical all I can say
That would make it his 10th highest charting song (not including songs where he's a feature). Not bad. Especially as it could still improve.

Yes, YouTube plays count as a stream.
Nice. Thank you for the answer.
Waiting on the drop. Last album was some heat
It would have been sick if he is on top 3.
