Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” Hits One Billion Spotify Streams

At this point, the milestones Eminem has accomplished in his career have come to vastly outnumber those that he hasn’t. If there isn’t any doubt that Slim remains one of the biggest artists in the world, even years removed from his arguable commercial peak, consider how many of his classic tunes continue to run the numbers to this day. Case in point, his lone greatest hits album has been a mainstay on the Billboard charts, having recently locked down four-hundred and ninety-six weeks on the top 200.

Em since has achieved yet another big win — one that admittedly felt inevitable, all things considered. Still, it doesn’t make the feat any less impressive. As of now, Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” has officially surpassed one billion streams on Spotify, the first of his vast catalog to pull it off. Not only that, but it also stands as one of the only songs from the 2000s to hit the mark, second only to Jason Mraz’s infectious anthem “I’m Yours.”

Clearly, Eminem’s iconic 8 Mile single has reached insane levels of universality, with its motivational themes resonating across all walks of life. While many would argue that Eminem’s catalog boasts plenty of stronger tracks, it goes without saying that “Lose Yourself” marked a major turning point for the once-titled “King Of Controversy,” a transitional moment that served to bring the parents onto his team. Congratulations to Eminem for pulling this one off — how long before another Slim Shady single surpasses the billion mark?

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”

François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.

François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.

The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.

“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
