Eminem’s Most Popular Songs Ranking [2025]

Cleanin’ Out My ClosetEminem22rank/position

Eminem – Cleanin’ Out My Closet (Official Music Video)

Eminem, who reigns as the king of white rappers.

In this song titled “Cleaning Out My Closet,” he sings about his twisted mix of love and hatred for his mother.

Unlike Japanese “thank-you” songs that tend to focus only on the good, it contains dark lyrics like “I’ll make a joke out of you.” While saying he doesn’t mean to make her cry or hurt her, the lyrics “cleaning out my closet” both declare his resolve as a rapper and depict the moment he leaves home.

It’s a dense track befitting a king.

Cold Wind BlowsEminem23rank/position

Cold Wind Blows

This is a track by the American rapper Eminem that opens his comeback-from-rock-bottom album Recovery.

True to its title “Cold Wind Blows,” it’s a powerful song about bracing yourself to face a biting headwind.

His aggressive rapping—like it’s blasting away public criticism and inner turmoil—is absolutely overwhelming.

The heavy sound that barrels forward as if mowing everything down is sure to give a strong push to listeners trying to overcome adversity.

It’s a soul-stirring song that’s perfect for those moments when you want to steel yourself with the resolve, “I’m climbing back up from here!”

Everybody’s Looking At MeEminem24rank/position

Eminem – Everybody’s Looking At Me [Official Audio]

Rapper Eminem, who continues to reign over the hip-hop scene.

The work he released in 2025 is a long-awaited, previously unreleased track that finally came to fruition after more than 20 years.

Originally a freestyle recorded around 2002, it’s been elevated into a polished modern song with a dark, heavyweight beat crafted by his longtime collaborator Dr.

Dre.

The piece vividly captures the anguish and inner conflict that come with being a star, preserving the raw intensity of that era, and his razor-sharp lyrics—his true forte—hit home.

Kicking off the official album STANS: The Official Soundtrack for the documentary film Stans (STANS), released in August 2025, it’s an essential track in any discussion of his career.

Eminem – Headlights (Explicit) ft. Nate Ruess

The classic song Headlights (ft.

Nate Ruess) by Eminem and Nate Ruess.

Eminem is known for having a troubled relationship with his mother—so much so that she even sued him over a work depicting their single-mother household.

However, in this track he expresses gratitude toward his mother.

It’s likely that becoming a father and overcoming drug addiction influenced this shift.

Savor the way love took shape despite a complicated family background.

KILLSHOTEminem26rank/position

KILLSHOT [Official Audio]

This is a song called Kill Shot that Eminem released in 2018.

The person depicted on the cover is the rapper Machine Gun Kelly, and the track is a thorough diss aimed at him.

It started as a kind of feud that Machine Gun Kelly kicked off, and both of them released diss tracks against each other, which eventually escalated to the point of dragging in fans of unrelated bands.

If you’re curious, definitely look it up! It doesn’t seem easy to survive in the American rap industry…

Eminem “Kim” (Music Video) 2021

There are countless songs themed around anger.

Among them, one of the most intense portrayals of rage is “Kim.” This track was released in 2000 by the rapper Eminem.

According to one interpretation, the song expresses his anger toward his wife.

Because the content is extremely graphic, I recommend approaching the lyrics with caution.

In addition, the music video, which matches the lyrics, is styled like a horror film.

The shocking twist at the end is also a highlight.

LegacyEminem28rank/position

Legacy

When it comes to rap that mixes in Japanese lyrics, a hidden gem by Eminem catches the eye.

The track from his 2013 album The Marshall Mathers LP 2 is an autobiographical piece that chronicles feelings of loneliness and alienation in his childhood.

Hailing from Missouri, he speaks candidly about his vulnerabilities and asks, “Am I an alien?”, a stance many can relate to.

The delicate piano and female vocals evoke the atmosphere of Stan.

The song was used as the official theme for the 2014 wrestling event WrestleMania XXX, making it familiar to sports fans as well.

The story of an introverted boy who couldn’t find his place, discovering his worth through music, will resonate with those searching for something meaningful.
