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.
