Eminem Returns to Alternative Airplay Chart After 21 Years With ‘Houdini’


Eminem's "Houdini" reaches the Alternative Airplay chart, marking the rapper's first appearance in over 20 years.

That’s the longest between appearances since Kate Bush went over 28 years between January 1994 (“Rubberband Girl”) and June 2022 (“Running Up That Hill [A Deal With God]”), the latter charting after the 1985 classic’s synch in Netflix’s Stranger Things. Eminem’s respite is the third-longest in Alternative Airplay’s nearly 36-year history, behind only Bush’s and Debbie Harry ’s; the latter waited almost 29 years between “Kiss It Better” in 1990 and her featured turn on Just Loud ’s “Soul Train” in 2018. “Houdini” is the lead single from The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace), Eminem’s 12th studio album, due Friday, July 12.
