Billboard's Rap Digital Song Sales chart ranks the bestselling tunes that the music magazine and chart company classifies specifically as rap or hip-hop, and only those purchases made on platforms like iTunes are counted. There are very few artists that almost always appear on the list, which features just 10 spaces, and Eminem is the most likely candidate to be found on the tally at any point.
Usually, his Grammy and Oscar-winning smash "Lose Yourself" is one of the top 10 bestselling rap cuts in the nation, but occasionally, the superstar fills multiple spaces. For the past several weeks, Eminem's "Till I Collapse," a collaboration with Nate Dogg, has managed to carve out a home on the Rap Digital Song Sales chart, and something unusual is happening years after that tune was released. Interest in the composition seems to be growing, and it has now established a new peak multiple periods in a row.
This week, "Till I Collapse" steps up one space on the Rap Digital Song Sales chart. The collaboration advances from No. 4 to No. 3, which now stands as its all-time high – a position it reaches more than a decade and a half after landing on the roster for the first time.
Last week, "Till I Collapse" pushed from No. 7 to No. 4, establishing a new peak. The week prior, the Eminem/Nate Dogg team-up returned to the roster at No. 7 after not finding space just days prior. For one frame, No. 7 stood as its high, and in the weeks since, the single has only managed to perform better and better.
As "Till I Collapse" pushes to third place, it becomes Eminem's lucky thirteenth track to peak in that position on the Rap Digital Song Sales chart. Last week, the single was matched with tracks like "Shake That," another collaboration with Dogg, "Animals (Pt. 1)" with JID, and "Untouchable," among others.
Here are all of Eminem's tunes that have risen to No. 3 on the Rap Digital Song Sales chart, and then stopped climbing.
Eminem is the only musician who appears twice on the current version of the Rap Digital Song Sales chart, and amazingly, his two smashes appear within the top three. As "Till I Collapse" surges to No. 3, "Lose Yourself" keeps in second place. Somewhat shockingly, despite the fact that "Lose Yourself" has spent 537 weeks as one of the bestselling rap tracks in the nation, it has only managed a single turn at No. 1 – and it didn't lift into that space until December of 2025, a decade and a half after it debuted. This time around, "Let ‘Em Know" by T.I. refuses to budge from the summit.
If interest in "Till I Collapse" continues to grow and both "Let ‘Em Know" and "Lose Yourself" slip, Eminem may be headed for a milestone leader on the Rap Digital Song Sales chart. Throughout his career, the hip-hop talent has scored 130 placements on the list, and 79 of those have cracked the top 10 (there was a time when the roster ran longer than it does now). Eminem has thus far earned 19 leaders, and he may be on his way to a twentieth.
