Eminem Surges With Multiple Classic Hits
Eminem is only a few weeks removed from his last debut on the Billboard charts in America. In July, the rapper joined JID on the track "Animals (Pt. 1)," which quickly became a bestselling hit and landed on a handful of tallies. This week, without releasing any new material, Eminem is back on multiple rankings, but this time, with classics. Some of the tracks that helped turn him into a global powerhouse and one of the most consistent hitmakers in hip-hop history are experiencing something of a resurgence. 'Lose Yourself' Becomes a Bestseller Again Two of Eminem's most iconic compositions return to Billboard's charts this frame, with each reappearing on a separate tally. There's no crossover between them, as the cuts don't show up on the same list, and each one only lands on a single roster. The biggest winner between them is "Lose Yourself," which returns to the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales chart. As the Oscar- and Grammy-winning cut approaches 500 weeks on that tally, it reenters at No. 15. 'Without Me' Returns to the Global Chart Eminem also claims a worldwide success again this frame, as "Without Me" reappears on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. The decades-old tune barely makes the list, settling at No. 199 on the 200-spot roster. The ranking reflects the most consumed tracks worldwide, without factoring in streams or sales from American listeners. Curtain Call: The Hits Also Enjoys a Big Week Back in the U.S., Eminem's compilation album Curtain Call: The Hits also grows. The project inches forward on multiple rankings, possibly buoyed by a sales uptick tied to "Lose Yourself," or perhaps its ascent is simply due to the compilation's continued appeal, as it features many of the rapper's most famous singles. Curtain Call returns to the top 10 on the Top Rap Albums chart, lifting to No. 10. It also climbs one spot on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums list, rising to No. 14. The set — one of the longest-charting ever on the Billboard 200 — holds steady at No. 55, and in about a month, it will become one of only a handful of titles to reach 750 frames on the all-encompassing, competitive roster.

The track arrives alongside a music video in which Offset takes his crew to dinner at New York City's famous downtown spot, Lucien.

Eminem Charts Several New Top 10 Bestsellers
JID and Eminem debut their collaboration 'Animals (Pt. 1)' inside the top 10 on several Billboard ... More digital song charts, as the track enters at No. 4 on two lists. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - AUGUST 3: Eminem performs prior to the Terence Crawford v Israil Madrimov WBA World Interim WBO World Super Welterweight Title fight at BMO Stadium on August 3, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Mark Robinson/) Eminem typically spaces his albums apart by several years, and between eras, he's usually pretty quiet. Unlike some artists in the hip-hop space, the rapper doesn't often lend his name and talent to many songs fronted by other acts as a way to keep his name on people's minds and on the charts. Hip-hop musician JID is the latest recipient of an Eminem feature, as the two have now traded guest spots. The artists launch their new collaboration on multiple Billboard charts this week, and the tune becomes a top 10 bestseller on all but one list. Eminem and JID Jointly Score New Top 10s "Animals (Pt. 1)" is fronted by JID and features Eminem, and it's the combination of the two popular artists that helps make the cut a quick win. The newly-released tune opens at No. 4 on both the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales and Rap Digital Song Sales charts this week. The two musicians score the second-loftiest arrival, as Drake's "What Did I Miss?" opens at No. 1. Eminem's Seventieth Top 10 Hit JID earns his fourth career top 10 on both tallies as "Animals (Pt. 1)" arrives. Eminem, who has been a household name for decades at this point, eclipses that sum many times over. "Animals (Pt. 1)" brings Eminem back to the top 10 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales chart for the milestone seventieth time. He's earned even more winners on the Rap Digital Song Sales tally, where he is up to 78 appearances between Nos. 1 and 10. JID has only ever sent four tracks to either roster, and all of them have cracked the top 10. Eminem pushed past 100 placements some time ago, and he continues to add to his historic total. "Animals (Pt. 1)" Reaches the Main Hip-Hop Chart "Animals (Pt. 1)" also manages to arrive on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, but only barely. Eminem and JID launch the collaboration at No. 49, just two spaces above the No. 50 cutoff. As JID scores his ninth appearance on the all-encompassing ranking of the most-consumed tunes classified by Billboard as hip-hop, R&B, or rap, Eminem reaches a 120 smashes on the list.

Kesha Seeks a Chaotic Love, and 9 More New Songs
Every Friday, pop critics for The New York Times weigh in on the week's most notable new tracks. Listen to the Playlist on Spotify here (or find our profile: nytimes) and at Apple Music here, and sign up for The Amplifier, a twice-weekly guide to new and old songs. Kesha, 'Red Flag.' Now that Kesha's lawsuits and record-company contracts are in the past, her first independently released album, '. (Period),' doubles down on her persona as an unruly, thrill-seeking party girl who wants what she wants. In the peppy 'Red Flag,' she welcomes chaos and complication over boredom. 'I need a certain kind of chemical / It's dangerous and unforgettable,' she sings, with an edge of Auto-Tune. The track revs up a combination of synth-pop pulsation and hand-clapping trance buildups, an adrenaline rush of romantic disaster. J.I.D. featuring Eminem, 'Animals (Pt. 1)' The Atlanta rapper J.I.D. — born Destin Route — zooms through a barrage of syllables in the virtuosic 'Animals (Pt. 1).' It's a breakneck boast that juggles rhyme schemes and percussive flows with casual precision: 'I'm good at my job / It's not a walk in the park 'cause I'm in a metropolis / I'm lost in a thought but escaping the darkness.' J.I.D. is confident enough to split the track with a past master of enunciation and internal rhymes, Eminem. He pivots the production from eerily electronic to orchestral, without lessening the beats per minute or syllables per second. Foo Fighters, 'Today's Song' 'Today's Song,' the first new Foo Fighters song since 2023, starts as an elegy, then explodes into an exhortation to persevere. 'Two sides to a river,' Dave Grohl sings as drums and power chords come crashing in, and, later, 'We'll drown in the middle / Which side are you on?' It's the band's latest earnest, uplifting hard-rock anthem, and despite a few rhyming-dictionary lyrics, the feeling comes through. The Reds, Pinks and Purples, 'What's the Worst Thing You Heard' The Reds, Pinks and Purples, from San Francisco, merge the 1960s and the 1980s at their most dejected. They share the ringing picked guitars of folk-rock with the bitter tunefulness of the Smiths and the Go-Betweens. On their new album, 'The Past Is a Garden I Never Fed,' the song titles are a checklist of pessimism, from artistic careers to life choices: 'The World Doesn't Need Another Band,' 'You're Never Safe from Yourself,' 'No One Absolves Us in the End.' In 'What's the Worst Thing You Heard?,' rising chords disguise dimming expectations; 'I know we're going to crash,' Glenn Donaldson sings, unconsoled by a brisk beat and a pretty guitar pattern. Ethel Cain, '___ Me Eyes' In the new single from Ethel Cain's album due in August, 'Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You,' she sings about a troubled fast girl from a small town, potentially a romantic rival in the album's narrative. 'She's got her makeup done and her high heels on,' the singer observes. 'She goes to church straight from the clubs / They say she looks just like her mama before the drugs.' The track's pulsing synthesizers echo the 1981 Kim Carnes hit 'Bette Davis Eyes,' which Cain has covered on tour. But unlike the casual seductress in that song, Cain's character grows tearful behind her bravado. 'They all want to take her out / But no one ever wants to take her home,' Cain wails in a surge of sympathy. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
