As Billboard reported, Eminem had set the record for "Most words in a hit single", specifically in his "Rap God" track from his latest album "Marshall Mathers LP 2." In total, the song contained 1,560 words despite a play time of only six minutes and four seconds.
Although there may be a few that has gone over such rate or number, no artist has achieved considerable success as that of Eminem and his "Rap God" single that soared to the seventh spot of the Billboard Hot 100.
The Detroit rapper has been breaking records ever since he came out to the spotlight with his effortless lyrics and catchy tunes. Aside from becoming the highest-selling artist of the 2000s, Eminem was also deemed the most popular artist on Facebook and outperformed Lady Gaga and Michael Jackson.
The 41-year-old Slim Shady has also received two Digital Diamond Awards, the first artist to do so, while his "Recovery" album released in 2010 raked in 5.7 million digital purchases, going well beyond the expected one million mark.
Meanwhile, Eminem has been prepping up for the release of his latest album "Shady XV" this Nov. 28.
Aside from Eminem, other highly popular artists have made it to "Guinness." These include Metallica for being the first band to perform in all seven continents within a year, and Miley Cyrus for being the "most searched-for pop artist on the Internet" following her VMAs performance.
Shakira and Katy Perry also snagged their own records, with the Colombian singer-dancer being the "most 'liked'" artist on Facebook and the "Roar" hitmaker being the "musician with the most Twitter followers."
From the U.K., boy band One Direction bagged the title for becoming the "first act to debut at No. 1 with first three albums."
