 Eminem could go to number one with Just Lose It |
Rapper Eminem's new single has become his highest entry on the US singles chart, and the highest new entry of 2004 for a non-American Idol release. Just Lose It, the first single from his new album Encore, went in at number 17.
The star's two previous highest entries were Lose Yourself at 43 and Without Me at 44, both in 2002.
But American Idol 3 winner Fantasia had a new entry at number one in July. Ciara featuring Petey Pablo stayed in the top spot this week with Goodies.
Top spot
Just Lose It is the fourth highest new entry of the year.
The song is one of two debuts in the top half of the chart, along with Vertigo, by U2 at 46.
It is the highest debut for a U2 single since Staring at the Sun entered at number 30 in April 1997.
The high debuts of both songs make U2 and Eminem candidates for the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100.
