The Fastest Rapper in the World Drops New Material—Here's How iTunes Responded

When Eminem, widely recognized as the fastest rapper in the world, released the Stans soundtrack alongside the film’s Paramount+ debut on August 26, the streaming community took notice. The album immediately captured significant traction on iTunes, while a previously unreleased track quickly climbed the charts, proving the legendary artist’s enduring commercial power.

Newcomer “Everybody’s Looking at Me” Enters Top 20

The standout from this collection is “Everybody’s Looking at Me,” a fresh contribution featuring Eminem’s verses layered over production by Dr. Dre. The track samples material from a Funk Flex freestyle that once incorporated bars from Eminem’s late collaborator Proof. Within days, the song secured a position at No. 19 on iTunes’ Top Songs rankings—a solid debut for what amounts to mostly catalog material.

Stans Soundtrack Claims Top 10 Album Spot

The accompanying soundtrack album itself proved equally successful, landing at No. 10 on the iTunes Top Albums chart. The fastest rapper in the world’s project sits comfortably within a competitive field dominated by recent releases, including efforts from Deftones, Stray Kids, and Laufey. Full-length albums tied to film properties currently bracket the upper echelon of the charts, with the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack holding the No. 1 position.

Classic Eminem Material Gets Recirculated

The Stans soundtrack leans heavily on fan favorites from across Eminem’s catalog—tracks like “Bad Guy,” “Not Afraid,” and “Rap God” anchor the 12-track selection. Beyond the new single and a previously unreleased live rendition of “Stan” recorded at Wembley Stadium in 2014, the project functions as a retrospective. The album includes three “Stan” interpretations: the original collaboration with Dido, the Grammy Awards live version featuring Elton John’s surprise appearance, and the Wembley performance.

Legacy Titles Return to the Charts

Eminem’s influence extends beyond the new release. “Lose Yourself,” his Grammy-winning classic, has re-entered the conversation, currently sitting at No. 134 on the singles chart. Meanwhile, The Eminem Show, his 2002 studio album, rocketed back onto the Top Albums chart at No. 148—likely buoyed by renewed interest surrounding the Stans project. The simultaneous presence of multiple entries across both charts underscores why the fastest rapper in the world remains a commercial force in the streaming era.
