Eminem Surpasses Drake As The King Of Spotify

It's hard to be a rapper in your 40s, let alone your 50s.

But so far so good for Eminem, who will soon drop his first album since hitting the big 5-0.

The first single from The Death Of Slim Shady, "Houdini," opened at number 2 and would have opened number one most weeks.

The 51-year-old has also passed Drake for the most monthly listeners on Spotify, despite this being the best streaming year of Drizzy's illustrious career.
