The entries on the Hot 100 chart account for song sales, streaming activity, track downloads and radio airplay and many of Eminem’s songs have been huge hits, which explains why he lags behind only Michael Jackson and Madonna in total Hot 100 entries. Eminem’s songs have been released on many albums, as well as many of his singles being featured on soundtracks. Additionally, many of his hit singles have appeared on multiple albums, which is why he has the most Billboard Hot 100 entries for a rapper.

His lyrics often top the Rap Songs chart.

Eminem’s lyrics have always been controversial, but that’s what helped him become the biggest rapper in the world. He used his lyrics to discuss his struggles and his perspective on life, especially when it came to his troubled childhood.

He discussed topics that were taboo and people applauded him for speaking his mind. This controversy has helped him top the Rap Songs chart a staggering 17 times. He’s the only artist to top the chart as many times and no one else is even close. He has also been No. 1 on the Hot 100 chart a total of 16 times, so he’s clearly still relevant.

He’s one of the only artists from his era who hasn't fallen off.

There have been many artists in the past who have fallen off, but Eminem is the only rapper who has consistently been on top since the turn of the century. He’s been a chart-topper for over 18 years and he’s still going strong. The only other artist from his era who has consistently remained on top is Justin Timberlake. Everyone else has either retired or dropped off the face of the planet.

One last thing: Remember that Eminem is his Age.

Eminem’s age has been a running gag ever since he first appeared on the music scene. He was criticized for his explicit lyrics and his dark themes, which were present in his early work. Eminem is indeed his age, but many of his peers are also his age. He is at a point in his career where he can easily ride off the nostalgia of his early work and collect a huge paycheck. The new generation of aspiring rappers will likely have to wait until they are well into middle age before they find their niche. As for Eminem, he’s still going strong.
