Eminem Lands A New No. 1 Alongside An Unlikely Collaborator

MTV EMAs 2017 - Show

2017 Kevin MazurPromotion of Eminem’s latest album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) has largely slowed in the past few weeks. After the rapper released a deluxe version of the set—titled the Expanded Mourner’s Edition—weeks ago, excitement around the project died down. While most of the tunes featured on the set have largely disappeared, and those that are still charting are primarily slipping, the hip-hop musician manages to score one more No. 1 from this era.

“Somebody Save Me” rises to No. 1 on the Rap Digital Song Sales chart. The single lifts from second place to the summit, reaching the highest rung for the first time this week.

Eminem has now scored 18 career No. 1s on Billboard’s list of the bestselling rap tracks in the country. He’s sent an amazing 75 tracks into the top 10, which must be one of the largest accumulations of smashes among all hip-hop stars.

“Somebody Save Me” marks Eminem’s third new No. 1 of 2024 on the Rap Digital Song Sales chart. He kicked off this new chapter with “Houdini,” which served as the lead single from The Death of Slim Shady. That track led the charge for three frames.

Only about a month ago, Eminem was back on top of the tally. He was credited as a featured artist on LL Cool J’s “Murdergram Deux,” which came from the latter musician’s first new album in more than a decade. That single reached the throne in late September.

“Somebody Save Me” is a collaboration between Eminem and rock, country, and hip-hop artist Jelly Roll. He scores his first No. 1 on the Rap Digital Song Sales list, thanks to his duet with the Emmy, Grammy, and Oscar-winning rapper.

Jelly has reached the Rap Digital Song Sales chart before, and he came close to rising all the way to the top spot. Earlier this year, he and Joyner Lucas pushed “Best For Me” to No. 4, helping Jelly score not just his first placement on the roster, but his first top 10 smash.
