Eminem Joins Kendrick Lamar With Multiple Top 10 Bestsellers
Eminem's 'Shake That' returns to the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales chart, joining 'Lose Yourself' ... More as the rapper doubles up on the tally. UNSPECIFIED - JANUARY 01: Photo of EMINEM (Photo by Sal Idriss/Redferns) Eminem stands out from so many other rappers thanks to his ability to continuously sell music from his catalog, and not just see it perform well on streaming platforms. He demonstrates that ability again this week, as one of his singles returns to a Billboard list focused solely on pure purchases, and it joins one of his all-time classics in doing so. The rapper matches one of the most exciting superstars in his chosen field today as he doubles up on the tally. "Shake That," Eminem's collaboration with Nate Dogg, returns to the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales chart this week. The cut barely manages to reenter the ranking of the bestselling tunes that can be classified as R&B, rap, or hip-hop in the U.S., landing in last place. "Shake That" joins "Lose Yourself," which lifts one space to No. 7. As "Shake That" returns, Eminem joins Kendrick Lamar as the only two musicians to occupy more than one space on the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales list. Lamar claims twice as many current wins as Eminem, with four current smashes. Lamar also manages to rank higher than Eminem this period – though both of the latter musician's current bestsellers are much, much older than Lamar's. His tunes "Luther" with SZA, "Not Like Us," and "Put TV Off" with Lefty Gunplay and 'Squabble Up' appear at Nos. 4, 6, 9, and 11, respectively. A number of other hip-hop powerhouses manage to remain on the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales chart as well, but at the moment, none fill more than a single space. "Anxiety" by Doechii leads for its fourth frame, which represents the entirety of its time on the roster. Drake's former No. 1 "Nokia" dips to third place, landing just ahead of Lamar's highest-rising success. Several other well-known figures like The Weeknd, Playboi Carti, and Pharrell Williams also take up space with former champions. "Shake That" was released decades ago, but has recently surged in popularity after going viral. The tune peaked at No. 8 earlier this month and is one of Eminem's 69 top 10 hits on the tally. "Lose Yourself," which has now spent 468 frames somewhere on this roster, has somehow only ever peaked at No. 2.

‘HERSTORY' – Ladies Of Hip Hop Aotearoa 2025 Presented By Rina Chae And En Beat Academy June 7–8, 2025
Press Release – Bev Adair Known worldwide as a powerful educator and judge, Toyin is set to deliver a masterclass in both movements and mindset guiding dancers of all levels to feel, not just perform. In 2024, award-winning choreographer and creative director Rina Chae, alongside En Beat Academy, made history — or more aptly, 'HERSTORY' — with the launch of Ladies of Hip Hop Aotearoa, New Zealand, dedicated to celebrating the mana, talent, and leadership of women and girls in Hip Hop culture. The inaugural event pulsed with electric energy. It was more than an event— it was a movement. Now in its highly anticipated return, Ladies of Hip Hop Aotearoa 2025 is set to be even bigger, bolder, and more connected than ever. Over two dynamic days, it brings together dancers, DJs, MCs, musicians, visual artists, and wāhine toa from across Aotearoa and the Pacific. To elevate the next generation and continue building a legacy that is uniquely ours. 'HERSTORY' IN MOTION: A Line-Up Worth the Hype – From the moment you walk into the space, you'll feel it — the energy, the unity, the fierce creative fire of wāhine rising together through Hip Hop. And in 2025, Ladies of Hip Hop Aotearoa is levelling up again with an all-star lineup of artists, educators, and dance crews ready to make 'HERSTORY'. Flying in from New York City, international House dance icon Toyin Sogunro brings her signature style and deep cultural roots to the main stage. Known worldwide as a powerful educator and judge, Toyin is set to deliver a masterclass in both movements and mindset — guiding dancers of all levels to feel, not just perform. From Los Angeles, Hip Hop artist Imani J of GOOD TWIN returns with a voice and presence that commands the stage. Her lyrical fire and creative spirit promise to bring West Coast heat straight to Tāmaki Makaurau, reminding us that hip-hop is as much about the message as it is about the music. On the music front, Venice, the rising R&B/Pop sensation from Sony Music Australia, brings a bold new sound to the festival stage. With soul-infused vocals and fearless authenticity, Venice represents the next generation of wāhine artists shaping the music scene in Oceania and beyond. And it doesn't stop there. – This year's exhibition battles are taking it to another level. Crews from Team Fiji, Team NZ, and Team AUS are going head-to-head in high-energy, culture-rich showdowns — celebrating regional excellence, Pacific pride, and sisterhood through movement. Each step, pop, lock, and drop tells a story of resilience, resistance, and rhythm. The 2025 festival is stacked with dance battles across styles like Hip Hop, Waacking, Krump, Popping, Locking, House, Breaking, and Vogue OTA — showcasing the full spectrum of street and club culture. For those ready to learn and grow, the workshops are not to be missed. Led by both international trailblazers and homegrown talent, these sessions offer a rare opportunity to train, connect, and be inspired in an empowering, inclusive environment. In between the movement and music, the festival holds space for panel kōrero — deep, real conversations with some of Aotearoa's most respected wāhine in Hip Hop. Expect stories, strategies, and unapologetic truth-telling about leadership, legacy, and the future of the culture. With live performances from artists and crews across the Pacific, Ladies of Hip Hop Aotearoa 2025 isn't just an event. It's a living, breathing movement. It's about intergenerational empowerment. It's about passing the mic. It's about making space and making noise. At its core, Ladies of Hip Hop Aotearoa is more than an event — it's a platform for connection, creativity, and intergenerational empowerment. From tamariki just stepping into dance to seasoned practitioners, this is a celebration of identity, excellence, and the power of wāhine leading the way. This year's edition is made possible through the generous support of Auckland Council, Auckland Live Presents, En Beat Academy, and the relentless vision of Rina Chae and her creative team.
