Eminem's Single Reaches A New Peak Almost 20 Years After Its Release
Earlier this year, one of Eminem's older singles suddenly went viral. This is something that has happened to a number of well-known acts in the past few years, as younger generations pick up on one tune or another, turn it into a trend on TikTok, and if it gains momentum, thousands, if not millions of people rush to streaming platforms and, in some cases, sites like iTunes to consume the cut.
Sometimes, this happens because listeners are discovering the song for the first time. Perhaps it was released well before they began exploring music on their own, so it's new to them. In other cases, the TikTok trend or general social media conversation around the track reminds them of their love for the cut, prompting them to listen once more.
Eminem's 'Shake That' has enjoyed this kind of renewed success in 2025 and has been rising and falling on various charts for several months. This time around in the U.S., 'Shake That' is a hit once again and even a top 10 smash on a Billboard chart.
Eminem's collaboration with Nate Dogg appears inside the highest tier on a purchase-centric tally at the moment. 'Shake That' returns to the Rap Digital Song Sales chart after not appearing on the list only a few days ago. This frame, it reenters at No. 6.
At the same time, the tune jumps from No. 14 to No. 8 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales ranking. It's back inside the loftiest space again as it nearly halves its position on that list, which includes purchases of tunes in the R&B, hip-hop and rap styles. In both instances, 'Shake That' reaches a new high point.
Eminem and Nate Dogg released 'Shake That' in early 2006. The tune was one of a handful of new cuts featured on the rapper's greatest hits compilation Curtain Call. The tune was a commercial success when it was first released, as it climbed all the way to No. 6 on the Hot 100 and surged toward the top 10 on several other rankings, including Hot Rap Songs list and various radio tallies. Now, nearly two decades later, it has become a sales win once more.

‘Invincible Vs.' Will Occupy Its Own Unique Corner of the ‘Invincible' Universe
After turning The Walking Dead into a multimedia empire, Robert Kirkman has been hard at work doing the same for Invincible. First there were, of course, the comics. Then the awesome Prime Video animated show. There have long been talks of a potential live-action movie. And, next year, the franchise's first full-fledged video game is coming, called Invincible Vs. And while little is known about the game, set for release in 2026, Kirkman spoke to press about it at San Diego Comic-Con. What we previously learned is that Invincible Vs. is a three-on-three fighting game from Skybound Games and Quarter Up. A partial roster was announced in June, and at Comic-Con, that roster expanded with the reveal of Battle Beast, who also recently made his debut on season three of the TV show. But what exactly is this game? And why a fighting game? Kirkman let us know. 'I love fighting games,' he said to a group of press, including io9. 'I was at the arcade playing the first Mortal Kombat. I was at the arcade playing Street Fighter 2. In the 90s, [I was] getting the Super Nintendo or the Genesis, where you actually got the Mortal Kombat with blood. I played Primal Rage. I played Time Killers. Like I was there at the birth of fighting games… And I think that they're a really great showcase for a large number of characters. When you have an open-world game, you're kind of playing as that one character, and you may encounter the other characters, but you don't get to play as them. So I think, as far as showcasing the Invincible universe and showcasing all of the different characters that encompass it, fighting games are ideal for that… As our first marquee, big-in-scale game. I think that a fighting game made the most sense. I think it is going to be the most satisfying for fans.' To be fair though, Kirkman also said he would've loved to make a Mario-style platform game, or even an open-world game. But one big thing became an issue. 'Open world games are expensive,' he said. 'Has anyone heard the budget for Grand Theft Auto 6? It's like three Trey Parker and Matt Stone deals.' (Note: Trey Parker and Matt Stone just signed a new deal for $1.5 billion). So, that's why it's a fighting game. But it will have a story too, and while Kirkman couldn't say too much about that, he did offer a pretty interesting tease. 'There's certainly a narrative component to the video game that is an additive experience that may or may not be connected to the larger world at play,' he said. 'So I would say stay tuned. But we always try to make sure that everything we do has a narrative function. And because of the multiversal aspect of Invincible, there is a really cool way to connect things in a way that sometimes you can't really do. So yeah, there's a tremendous opportunity to do some cool stuff, and we'll see.' He later, almost inadvertently, added this pseudo-clarifier to that tease. 'The game will get to stand on its own, and it'll be its own, unique corner of the Invincible universe,' Kirkman said. But also, there was a lot he couldn't say. He wouldn't say if Invincible Vs. would have cameos from other games, just as Invincible characters have cameoed in other fighting games. He wouldn't say if it would have any DLC or season components like some other fighting games. But he is definitely excited and proud about how the fighting game can do something that's so very invincible. 'One of the coolest things about Invincible Vs. is that you get to have these very different characters that, a lot of times, don't even interact in the comics or in the show,' he said. 'You haven't really seen Atom Eve and Battle Beast interact in any kind of way, but you will get to see that in this game. And so, because of that, I think this game offers a unique experience for Invincible fans that will make it that much cooler of an experience if you're familiar with the world and familiar with the history of these characters… There are some really unexpected combinations. Invincible Vs. will be released for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Want more io9 news?

Revolve Goes To The Hamptons With Summer Events & A FWRD X Virelle Pop-Up
Revolve heads out East for the summer Revolve is one of the hottest brands right now for Millennials and Gen Z. From fashion to beauty—and even home—it's a name built on working with influencers. And with no hotter destination right now (especially for influencers) than The Hamptons, it's easy to understand why Revolve is going out East for the summer with a series of exclusive events and a FWRD pop-up retail boutique cobranded with Vivrelle. 'Revolve is known for showing up in the most culturally relevant settings—whether that's in trending destinations or at key events. When we plan an activation, we focus on where our community of customers, brand partners, and influencers will be,' Kimmy Miura, Vice President of Public Relations, Talent and Influencer Relations at Revolve, tells me. 'It's not just about creating a beautiful backdrop to showcase the product, but about tapping into the lifestyle and moments where our product is naturally worn—from laid-back beach days and lounging at the house, to parties at Surf Lodge and brunches with coastal views. It's about being part of the full experience.' Here's a look inside one of Revolve's exclusive influencer activations, along with the boutique co-branded with Vivrelle in Bridgehampton. Cool-Girl Content Creation Shopping in a garden Whether it's the streets, beaches, or a private home, the Hamptons is one of those places where every single inch is a photo opp. 'The Hamptons is an ideal place for content creation because of its variety and visual range. In one location, you get sandy beaches, sailboats on the water, lush greenery with blooming hydrangeas, farmers markets with summer fruits, and wide-open lawns for family picnics,' says Miura. 'It captures the essence of summer in a way that feels both elevated and relatable. And that versatility makes it a strong setting for diverse storytelling; it has something for everyone.' Content ping pong One recent event was a week-long gifting suite at the 21 House at Reform Club in Amagansett. Effortlessly chic, the brand created a variety of activations for content creators to take photos, videos, and engage with the Revolve and the brands it sells. From the charming traditional interior to the hydrangea-drenched yard, the activation was truly authentic to both Revolve and The Hamptons. A cute popsicle cart 'We wanted the space to feel like a blend of elevated coastal charm and classic Hamptons style, with a nod to this year's biggest color trend—butter yellow—all while staying true to Revolve's signature cool girl aesthetic,' notes Miura. FWRD X Vivrelle Pop-Up Exterior of the FWRD X Vivrelle Bridgehampton store Brick and mortar retail locations have also become a major part of Revolve's strategy. With a store in Aspen, the brand is also in the process of opening a permanent location in the famed Grove shopping center in Los Angeles. Unlike the invite-only activations, the FWRD X Vivrelle store is open to the public—and, in true Revolve fashion, it has been thoughtfully designed not just for shopping but also social media content creation. With an opening party that drew names including Rachel Zoe, Ryan Roth, Hannah Godwin, and Margot Oshry, it's a welcome and much-needed addition to Main Street. The event was DJed by Pamela. Tick The event was also an opportunity for emerging brands like La Fleur to associate with Revolve. According to Bailey Savoie, founder of the build-your-own-bouquet bar, it was a game-changer for her recently-launched business. La Fleur flower cart founder Baily Savoie 'Partnering with Revolve was honestly a dream come true. I've been a loyal customer for years, so collaborating with a brand that feels so true to me and one that deeply resonates with my audience was incredibly special.' However, the entrepreneur truly sees the value of not just being associated with her favorite brands, but also The Hamptons as a brand. 'Being associated with The Hamptons feels like such a natural fit for La Fleur. The area embodies everything my brand stands for—beauty, being whimsical, and an appreciation for aesthetics,' she reveals. 'The Hamptons is always ahead of the curve when it comes to innovation and curated experiences, which is exactly why La Fleur thrives in that environment.' Chic shopping The store itself was designed to feel authentic to the location. From the wooden shelves and accents, to the pink beach print wallpaper, classic white casement windows, and the life-size horse statues in the front of the store, it's the place to be seen this season, and to shop for the clothing and accessories to be seen in.
