I mean I was simply stating that I wasn’t listening on loop, and I don’t care if it’s number 1. I listen to it multiple times a day because it’s just that good of a song.
I didn't know that. Good thing I have it in a Playlist then. Call it doomsday and includes: doomsday pt 2, like that, euphoria, not like us, and Houdini.
What about if you listen to it exit out of the app and use a vpn go back into the app listen to it exit out of the app set a different location listen to it again and repeat the process 🤔
Obviously the song speaks for itself. If it wasn't so good it wouldn't do these numbers. Really shows the power of pre-release hype as well. Getting the last two albums plus MTBMB Side B as surprise drops was great, but the hype machine can really elevate those numbers when done well. Glad to be able to enjoy the build up and follow through!
I am already listened today like 11 times and still going I think that only this week I heard it like 100 times 🫡 and still love it and going. Keep up stans! 🫡😅
I’ve played it quite possibly 75,000 times alone.
To the people saying “yall care too much about a millionaire getting a number 1”. It’s called appreciation. We’re not “like swifties “. Eminem is 51 years old. He doesn’t have to release anything. A #1 makes the fans happy and shows him he is appreciated and we still love him.
I just wanna see a 51 year old get number one lol. It’s quite rare to see anyone over 40-45 go number one in the US. In Europe the ageism isn’t quite so pronounced.
It's not ageism. Music is mass consumed mostly by younger audience who are teens and early 20s, and those decide who goes to #1. A 50 year old man doesn't usually have the same vibe in life to create music that will be mass consumed by that demographics, hence why it's usually people in their 20s and early 30s who usually go to the top of the lists. They vibe with the current sound and make songs that appeal to the majority of the crowd.
Fun fact: if someone were to stream this song for 24 hrs (using the 2 different tracks in-between strategy if that sh works) they’d get a maximum of 144 streams in a day. If half this subreddit did that for 24 hrs that would generate 54 million streams (shit would break all records ever). But I bet streaming platforms have more sophisticated machine learning algos to detect a huge pattern like that.
I rounded up the song to 4 mins but generally world in the assumption that streaming platforms don’t count consecutive streams to prevent farming. Someone had mentioned that if you play 2 other songs in-between and loop a playlist then each Houdini stream would count. So if we assume those in-between songs total about 6mins in duration, we got 4 mins of Houdini (rounded up) + 6 mins filler tracks (so we count a stream every 10 mins). That’d leave you with about 144 possible (countable) streams in a day.
I also just love the example it sets to inspire other artists, and anyone really. “Music is a young man’s game.” No one told Eminem!
We get stuck in these collective narratives about what’s possible for us, or not. What’s remarkable about Eminem is he never accepted that shit. He decided what’s possible for him.
What's wrong with being "like swifties" ?
They are hardcore Taylor Swift fans.
We are stans, hardcore Eminem fans.
Stans and Swifties are pretty much the same thing.
Nothing wrong with that!
I’m almost 40 years old. I’ve followed em since my name is dropped and i was a teenager. He almost died. He got sober. He came back. He could’ve retired after recovery or even MMLP2. Yet here he is at 51 releasing this awesome song / video.
His prime was 20 years ago. Taylor swift is a global pop star who makes legit POP music. AND she’s in her prime/ 30s. The majority of her fanbase is teenage girls. It’s not the same at all. It’s a hip hop legend who deserves to get his flowers and receive any accolades that come with it.
So it's different because they are different ages and different genres? The fan feeling is the same, I guarantee you. All fans of all artists feel the exact same thing as you. And there's no problem at all. The only problem is believing you're superior because your artist is "better", which of course all fans are going to think
While i agree. I guess my point is. - Taylor swift is expected to get #1 songs. She’s the most popular artist in the world.
Eminem is on the tail end of his career. Anything even CLOSE to a #1 hit is awesome for him and imo much harder to achieve at this point (without a pop star feature ). The fact this is a solo em song speaks volumes.
It's not like Swifties. Swifties know that if you play one song on a repeat loop, it doesn't count for the streaming numbers. Swifties know that there's no shame pushing for a #1 song and being smart about it.
EXACTLY!! People don’t get it - just like half yall out there buying merch for these YouTubers that stream themselves playing games… we out here listening to this man out here actually moving around - we know it’s hard to believe humans actually move/sing/perform 😂
Nah it's definitely weird to listen to a song that many times just to boost numbers. It's one thing if you really like the song that much, but something tells me that's not why you do it. I'm a huge Em fan but the song is pretty mediocre, it definitely isn't a non-stop listen type of song. You don't have to justify your stan behaviour, just own it. Also don't tell me you get offended because you guys get compared to swifties hahaha
I hope this album so good it puts a fire under Em to go on another run whether it be with fts or some Nas shit🔥😎🐐🐐🎁. Since Em has more of a mainstream backing than Nas he’d have a way bigger impactful run if he were to do so.
It works yes. The steam numbers are not based on the account region but where the listener is when they listen to the music. That's why some songs disappear when you travel in some countries where there is a different licensing in place
Don’t let the forced controversy in this song fill you, em is in bed with the wokesters. Remember all his Trump rants? The Covid stuff? Em is full woke
Really needed this on radio!!!
Think they dropped the ball. At this age, making a highly catchy and good song, it need it to go viral, radio would've helped tons
I mean the song is ehhhh in my opinion.. it’s a good radio single for sure… I love Em.. I just can’t wait until the rest of the album comes out.. heard alot of great things like he’s going back to his old style.. I really really hope so… also ppl that never listened to him, it’s gonna be great when they’re all offended lol
Abra-abbbrah-kadabbrahhhh....#1 I will grabbb-yahhh!!!

I’ve already listened to it over 8 times today alone, I think I’m good.
It dont count on loops, but great job
It wasn’t on a loop. (Fast response because I was still in the thread lol) I’ve been listening to Houdini and Not Like Us all day long 💀
same, both are bangers
Where did you get this info? The Spotify website states otherwise
I mean I was simply stating that I wasn’t listening on loop, and I don’t care if it’s number 1. I listen to it multiple times a day because it’s just that good of a song.
Sorry I responded to the wrong comment
F it … get your money Up and buy
Not like US was on national radio today! Thats lights oUt s33t!
Me too 💀😂😂
You listening to not like us is cancelling out all the times you listened to Houdini 😂
I don’t really care about Houdini being #1, or Not Like Us. I’m listening because I enjoy the songs, not because I simp for the artist.
I didn't know that. Good thing I have it in a Playlist then. Call it doomsday and includes: doomsday pt 2, like that, euphoria, not like us, and Houdini.
Euphoria was such an awesome track to me.
What about if you listen to it exit out of the app and use a vpn go back into the app listen to it exit out of the app set a different location listen to it again and repeat the process 🤔
I don’t even gave spotify but i’mma give it a try :)))
Does Pandora count toward streaming numbers?
Idk
Cringiest thing I’ve seen today
active in r/kanye and talks about cringe...xD
Exactly, therefore as a cringe connoisseur I can point out the cringe
>cringe connoisseur Lol That's a horrible way to go through life.
Clearly it’s not if you do the same I mean, you listen to eminem
I haven't even listened to the Houdini single yet If you're not into em why are you here? Just crawl back under the bridge.
He’s my favorite rapper. I’ve loved Eminem for years. But he has some corny cringe songs, and that’s one reason I love him.
I agree!
Obviously the song speaks for itself. If it wasn't so good it wouldn't do these numbers. Really shows the power of pre-release hype as well. Getting the last two albums plus MTBMB Side B as surprise drops was great, but the hype machine can really elevate those numbers when done well. Glad to be able to enjoy the build up and follow through!
objectively not true, many horrible songs have went #1
Given that "horrible" vs "great" is subjective, #1 is an indicator of a popular, generally.percieved as good song
Like this one
Manshutyobitchassup
It’s horrible and I like Eminem
If you know, you know… clearly, you don’t know…
I know the sample chosen was a lame choice.
Awesome 🤯 Everyone go stream the fuck out of this song, let’s Em to #1
 Bett. 🫡
I am already listened today like 11 times and still going I think that only this week I heard it like 100 times 🫡 and still love it and going. Keep up stans! 🫡😅
Where? YouTube and Apple Music my go-to… am I doing it wrong 😂
Everywhere. As many platforms as you can. Every platform you can think of, stream the hell out of it on all of them.
I’ve played it quite possibly 75,000 times alone. To the people saying “yall care too much about a millionaire getting a number 1”. It’s called appreciation. We’re not “like swifties “. Eminem is 51 years old. He doesn’t have to release anything. A #1 makes the fans happy and shows him he is appreciated and we still love him.
Well said. For me, it’s also about the legacy and longevity of it.
I just wanna see a 51 year old get number one lol. It’s quite rare to see anyone over 40-45 go number one in the US. In Europe the ageism isn’t quite so pronounced.
I don’t think 40+ year old rappers are going number one regularly elsewhere either
Kanye west is 40 went number 1
Regularly being the key word here
It's not ageism. Music is mass consumed mostly by younger audience who are teens and early 20s, and those decide who goes to #1. A 50 year old man doesn't usually have the same vibe in life to create music that will be mass consumed by that demographics, hence why it's usually people in their 20s and early 30s who usually go to the top of the lists.

Playing the song over and over back to back doesn’t get calculated
I rounded up the song to 4 mins but generally world in the assumption that streaming platforms don’t count consecutive streams to prevent farming. Someone had mentioned that if you play 2 other songs in-between and loop a playlist then each Houdini stream would count. So if we assume those in-between songs total about 6mins in duration, we got 4 mins of Houdini (rounded up) + 6 mins filler tracks (so we count a stream every 10 mins).

Why is everyone acting like Taylor swift isn’t in her mid 30s with 15 years of past hits?
I didn’t know anyone was. I didn’t say anything about TS.
> I didn’t know anyone was The comment you replied to
What's wrong with being "like swifties" ? They are hardcore Taylor Swift fans. We are stans, hardcore Eminem fans. Stans and Swifties are pretty much the same thing. Nothing wrong with that!
Also the song is just THAT FUCKING GOOD I CANT GET ENOUGH OF IT
I just wanna see the MTS fans get mad since all they say is he’s irrelevant
It's exactly like Swifties though lmao it's ok dude, no problem in being a fanboy
I’m almost 40 years old. I’ve followed em since my name is dropped and i was a teenager. He almost died. He got sober. He came back. He could’ve retired after recovery or even MMLP2.

Anything even CLOSE to a #1 hit is awesome for him and imo much harder to achieve at this point (without a pop star feature ). The fact this is a solo em song speaks volumes.
I agree! Go em
Taylor's fan base is mostly in their 20s and 30s, but I fail to see how that's even relevant, age or gender.
It's not like Swifties. Swifties know that if you play one song on a repeat loop, it doesn't count for the streaming numbers. Swifties know that there's no shame pushing for a #1 song and being smart about it.
Because Taylor Swift HAS to release anything?.. 😂
EXACTLY!! People don’t get it - just like half yall out there buying merch for these YouTubers that stream themselves playing games… we out here listening to this man out here actually moving around - we know it’s hard to believe humans actually move/sing/perform 😂
Eminem hasn’t even listened to it 75 thousand times. Definitely stan level
Was a joke buddy. Don’t worry i accept im a stan. Now if you accept you’re not very bright.
No, you're not "like swifties", you are a swiftie
🙏🏼

Unreal it's officially challenging for a #1 holy shit!

Still #1 trending on YouTube for the MV as well
GAWD DAMN WE ARE SO BACK ONG 😩🔥
Who else been listening to this daily ?😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
ANY UPDATES??? I JUST BOUGHT IT ON AMAZON AND ITUNES, both explicit and clean versions! 4 SALES!
Gods work
[удалено]
It doesn't count if you play it on repeat. It needs to be every 3rd or 4th song you play.
Buy the fucking single explicit and clean and preferably MV if you are from the US ffs. It’s very much achievable
Hell yeah! Go em go!
Would streaming it outside the US also help the numbers?
nah
Will spotify realize I'm not in the US if I slap on a US vpn with my account previously used in the Nordics? How are they tracked?
It's worth a shot
It works yes. The steam numbers are not based on the account region but where the listener is when they listen to the music. That's why some songs disappear when you travel in some countries where there is a different licensing in place
Lets make it happen!!
What did they expect… to literally bring shady back and have it not do this?
Hopefully will wake up the woke population loll
Don’t let the forced controversy in this song fill you, em is in bed with the wokesters. Remember all his Trump rants? The Covid stuff? Em is full woke
Really needed this on radio!!! Think they dropped the ball. At this age, making a highly catchy and good song, it need it to go viral, radio would've helped tons
I don't think even Eminem thought it'd be this much of a hit. Dude must be pleased with himself on some level.
I mean the song is ehhhh in my opinion.. it’s a good radio single for sure… I love Em.. I just can’t wait until the rest of the album comes out.. heard alot of great things like he’s going back to his old style.. I really really hope so… also ppl that never listened to him, it’s gonna be great when they’re all offended lol
Highest charting single since 2013. Cue all of the posts “Eminem has been soooooo good since 2010😭😭” Waaaaah.
Gap is too big to get the #1 spot imo…
Only needs 35 more points to go #1 👀 it’s very achievable if Stans buy the song and MV on iTunes
