Eminem has beaten Taylor Swift as his music videos were the most played of 2022, video hosting service Vevo said.
The American rapper, real name Marshall Mathers, had almost 76 million views of his videos as he released his second greatest hits album Curtain Call 2 this year.
In May, The Real Slim Shady artist was also inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame and in November, his semi-autobiographical film 8 Mile celebrated its 20th anniversary.
Swift who has a total of 64 million views for her music videos on Vevo, released her new album Midnights in October.
In 2021, Canadian singer The Weeknd was the most-viewed artist on Vevo with 58 million views followed by Adele with 55 million views.
Old favourites were given a boost by blockbuster movies including Top Gun’s Maverick which lifted the views of Kenny Loggins’ Danger Zone by 125% and Elvis’s Can’t Help Falling In Love With You which had an increased viewership of 514% when a Baz Luhrmann film about the king of rock and roll was released this year.
