The single is also challenging for the top spot on the US Billboard Hot 100 after a strong week on streaming platforms. It earned the second biggest debut week ever for a rap song in Spotify history, just behind Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss “Not Like Us.”
The music video for the song also earned huge numbers on YouTube, as it was viewed 51 million times in the first 7 days. The song is the first single off Eminem’s upcoming new album “The Death of Slim Shady.”
