Eminem — “Houdini” Crowned Biggest Hip Hop Song of 2024 in the UK

The Official Charts UK has disclosed the rankings for the top songs of 2024, with Eminem’s “Houdini” positioned as the foremost hip hop track of the year. Achieving the 26th spot overall, this single is recognized as the highest-charting rap song, closely followed by Jack Harlow’s “Lovin On Me” at No. 28.

“Houdini,” serving as the lead single from Eminem’s most recent album, recorded an impressive 104,800 units in its inaugural week, which includes an exceptional 13.3 million streams. This performance not only marked the best-selling single week of the year in the UK up to that date but also represented the largest since the debut of Dave and Central Cee’s “Sprinter” in 2023. Notably, this achievement marks Eminem’s most successful UK debut since his 2002 classic “Without Me.”

Moreover, “Houdini” has earned Marshall his 11th No.1 position on the Official Singles Chart, equalling Calvin Harris for the highest number of chart-topping singles in the UK.

Remarkably, as one of only two hip hop songs on the 2024 chart, “Houdini” underscores Eminem’s unparalleled status in the industry, demonstrating his enduring prominence over two decades into his career.
