Eminem’s catalog is packed with global smashes, and many of those tracks are still finding an audience years after they first ruled the airwaves and dominated the charts. In the United Kingdom, the rapper maintains a consistent presence on multiple charts, not just with new music when it’s available, but also thanks to his two hit-packed compilation albums, Curtain Call and Curtain Call 2. Both sets have become staples to the British public, kept on the weekly rankings by consumption not only of the projects themselves, but many of the songs featured on them – several of which reappear out of nowhere this week.

“Without Me,” “Lose Yourself,” and “Love the Way You Lie”

Three of Eminem’s most famous singles are back on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart, and they land within a few spaces of one another. “Without Me” returns at No. 32, followed closely by “Lose Yourself” at No. 33. “Love the Way You Lie,” one of the rapper’s several collaborations with Rihanna, also sneaks back in at No. 38.

Each of Eminem’s Singles Has Hit No. 1

All three of Eminem’s comeback cuts have previously climbed to No. 1 on the genre-specific ranking. The Grammy winner has scored 21 leaders on the list, which counts the most-purchased tracks in the U.K. in both genres. He’s also landed more than a dozen additional top 10 hits, and he easily ranks as one of the most successful names in hip-hop history in the country.

Eminem’s Longest-Charting Tracks Still Performing

The three singles back on the tally this week don’t just stand out for their past peaks, they also rank among Eminem’s longest-charting songs in the U.K. “Love the Way You Lie” has now spent 140 weeks on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart. “Without Me” beats that sum with 223 frames, while “Lose Yourself” leads the trio with a staggering 380 periods on the list.

Curtain Call and Curtain Call 2 Also Chart

Beyond Eminem’s singles, both Curtain Call and Curtain Call 2 are still charting in the U.K. this frame. The first volume is holding up particularly well, as it appears inside the top 40 on three rankings and even reenters the Official Album Downloads chart at No. 100.

Curtain Call 2 is also present, though only on half as many lists as its predecessor. This week, the sequel compilation improves on both the Official Albums Streaming (No. 51, up one space) and Official Albums charts (No. 69, up two spots).
