One of the legendary rapper’s most famous songs is making waves more than 20 years after it first dropped!

Legendary rapper Eminem‘s hit song “Without Me” is still gracing the Billboard global charts more than 20 years after it was first released in 2002!

On Oct. 6, 2025, the record appeared at number 191 on the Billboard Global 200, above more recent megahits like Sabrina Carpenter’s “Taste” and Cardi B’s brand-new “Pretty & Petty.”

Of all of Marshall Mathers’ hits, including “Lose Yourself,” “Mockingbird,” “The Real Slim Shady” and many more, “Without Me” has the longest tenure on the Global 200 chart. It’s appeared on the list for a whopping 200 weeks.

Despite its longevity, it actually wasn’t his most popular song on the Hot 100. While “Lose Yourself,” “Love The Way You Life (Feat. Rihanna),” and “The Monster (feat. Rihanna)” have all hit No. 1 on the chart, “Without Me” peaked at No. 2 when it was released in 2002.

Still, it’s one of his most iconic hits that continues to make the news for various reasons. In July 2025, Eminem’s daughter, Hailie Jade Mathers, dressed her then 4-month-old son in Slim Shady’s iconic super hero outfit from the music video.

It also gained attention when Em skipped the lyrics about his mom, Debbie Nelson, following her death in 2024, instead allowing the crowd at the Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix to sing the “F–k you, Debbie” line, according to E! News.

*NSYNC member Chris Kirkpatrick even recently opened up about what it was like being mentioned on the track, and how he felt when he first heard it in 2002.

“‘Have you heard the new Eminem song? He makes fun of you,’” Kirkpatrick remembered hearing on CW’s The ’90s Boy Band Boom in February 2025. “I love Eminem and *NSYNC rhymes with everything. *NSYNC, stink, you know. It’s really not that hard,” he thought, assuming Shady was mocking the entire band.

“And they’re like, ‘No, no, no, you. Chris Kirkpatrick.’ And I’m like, ‘Chris Kirkpatrick? That doesn’t rhyme with anything,’” he said. “And as it was coming out of my mouth, I’m saying, ‘This is Eminem.’ And then I hear, ‘Get your ass kicked,’ and I’m like oh, yeah.. I guess it rhymes with that. That makes sense.”

“I was like, ‘What does this mean? Do I have beef now? Is this, are we beefing?’” Kirkpatrick thought. “‘Man, that sucks.’”

Renewed interest in the song may be due to Eminem’s new documentary Stans, which dropped on Paramount+ on Aug. 26. The film got overwhelming attention, and Eminem thanked his fans for their support on Sept., 17. “Thanks to the Stans who made #STANS the #1 documentary of all time on Paramount+,” he wrote.
