In news that should come as no surprise, Eminem & Beyonce‘s surprise collaboration – ‘Walk On Water’ – is making quite the splash on the Hot 100.
Debuting at #14 on this week’s Hot 100, the song’s top 20 arrival came on the wings of handsome streaming and download figures (18.3 million U.S. streams and 64,000 first-week downloads respectively). That number may very well increase next week thanks to some solid promo on both sides of the pond from ‘Water’s leading act.
The premiere on the Hot 100 not only made it the highest debut of the week (ahead of its highly anticipated music video), but also gave both Em and the Queen Bey a very unique placement alongside another music royal: Queen of Pop Madonna. Get the detail below:
…[‘Walk on Water’] is Eminem and Beyonce’s 57th Hot 100 entry each, tying them with Madonna and The Rolling Stones for 19th place among all acts for the most appearances since the chart’s Aug. 4, 1958, inception. Here’s a look at the leaderboard.
