Hometown Hero Eminem hit another Spotify milestone Saturday with “Rap God” days after his 51st birthday.
The 2013 single, already a Guinness World Records title holder, passed the 1 billion streams threshold on the music streaming service as the Detroit hip-hop star’s eighth single to do so. The 6-minute and 4-second track is from Eminem’s album “The Marshall Mathers LP 2” and features him rapping 1,560 words, averaging 4.28 words per second.

This 2022 photo shows Eminem performing onstage during the 37th Annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony at Microsoft Theater in California. With over 25 records under his belt, including the fastest rap in a hit single and the most words in a hit single, the Detroit hip-hop star certainly isn’t a stranger to Guinness World Records.
Guinness honored Eminem with the record for “most words in a hit single” for “Rap God” in 2014. The song’s music video recently surpassed 1.3 billion views on YouTube.

Eminem performed the song as part of his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022. Footage of the performance is available below.
“Rap God” joins previous Eminem entries “Mockingbird,” which crossed the 1 billion streams mark in March thanks to TikTok, as well as “Godzilla,” “The Real Slim Shady,” “Love the Way You Lie,” “Lose Yourself,” “’Till I Collapse” and “Without Me.”
Across Spotify, nearly 500 songs have made it into the Billions Club, a playlist launched in 2020 that includes all of the songs on the platform that have hit the major milestone. After the achievement, Spotify gifts artists the Billions Club plaque.
Artists with more songs than Eminem on the list include Justin Bieber (14), Bad Bunny, Drake (12 each), Ed Sheeran, the Weeknd, Rihanna (11 each), Post Malone, XXXTentacion, Bruno Mars, Ariana Grande (10 each), Coldplay and Dua Lipa (9 each), according to the playlist.
Eminem is Spotify’s 18th most listened-to artist in the world as of this writing. He has won 15 Grammy Awards.Eminem began as an underground battle rapper in Detroit before developing his career. He scored second place in the freestyle category at the 1997 Rap Olympics in Los Angeles, catching the attention of Dr. Dre, who later became his producer and mentor, according to a Guinness World Records report.
