The updated U.S. Digital Song Sales list shows Eminem among the artists with the most number one chart toppers.
Of the list of 11 names, only three belong to hip hop artists. It’s not so bad, however, as traditionally, hip hop struggles to compete with pop and country in terms of actual sales. So most of the artists on the list represent those exact genres, with R’n’B sprinkled in at the end. Our hip-hop forces guard the reliable middle of the chart: Drake is in fourth place with 13 No. 1 digital hits, Nicki in fifth place with 12 and Eminem in sixth place with 11. Em, however, is tied with Katy Perry. and BTS.
Interestingly, just two years ago, he tied with Katy Perry and Drake at No. 4 with that precise number of numerical hits. During that time, Drake has released two more studio albums and scored two new No. 1s. Hopefully Marshall’s new album will help him move up that chart.
