#9 "lose yourself," eminem. from fred bronson's "chart beat bonus":
8 MILES DOWN: After a 12-week reign atop Billboard's Hot 100, Eminem's "Lose Yourself" (Shady/Interscope) makes a dramatic drop, down to No. 9. It's the biggest fall from No. 1 in exactly 14 years. The week of Feb. 4, 1989, Phil Collins' "Two Hearts," from the "Buster" soundtrack, collapsed 1-10.
that doesn't change the fact, however, that this has been shady's biggest hit ever because it's his best ever. greil marcus is pretentious as fuck, but he's right when he calls this song a career-defining moment. tense, coiled, a cobra about to strike is em as rabbit - the question is, can he keep it up outside of that role?
