After its first full tracking week, Eminem , Big Sean and BabyTron ’s “Tobey” rockets to No. 7 on Billboard ’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart dated July 20. The collaboration, which name checks Spider-Man actor Tobey Maguire, debuted at No. 26 on last week’s chart (dated July 13) with only two days of activity following its release on Wednesday, July 3. (Billboard’s tracking week runs from Friday to Thursday.)
For the multimetric Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, which combines streaming, radio airplay and sales data, “Tobey” registered 13.6 million official U.S. streams, according to Luminate, In the July 5-11 tracking week. The nine-figure sum prompts a No. 4 debut on the R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs chart and No. 21 on the corresponding, all-genre list. The track also sold 3,000 song downloads and repeats at No. 4 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales chart. “Tobey” only generated a negligible amount of airplay, with radio promotional efforts still focused on Eminem’s focus single, “Houdini.”
With “Tobey,” Eminem captures his 18th top 10 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Here’s a rundown of his collection:
Song Title, Artist (if other than Eminem), Peak Position, Peak Date
“Homicide,” Logic featuring Eminem , No. 2, May 18, 2019
“Godzilla,” featuring Juice WRLD, No. 3, Feb. 1, 2020
“Houdini,” No. 1 (one week), June 15, 2014
“Tobey,” with Big Sean & BabyTron, No. 7 (to date), July 20, 2024
The new hit secures Big Sean his 12th career top 10 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and first in nearly seven years, since “Feels,” a Calvin Harris track that featured the rapper alongside Pharrell Williams and Katy Perry, reached No. 10 in August 2017.
BabyTron, meanwhile, achieves a career milestone by teaming up with his fellow Michigan rap stars, earning his first Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs top 10 with his first title to make the chart.
“Tobey,” which includes lyrics suggesting Eminem’s stance on his place on the Billboard staff’s Greatest Rappers of All Time list, appears on the superstar’s The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) album. The set, released on July 12, is the rapper’s first new body of work since 2020’s Music to Be Murdered By .
