AND WE'RE DONE!!

1. Lose yourself

Eminem 
 
 On October 22, 2002, Eminem released “Lose Yourself.”  The first single from the soundtrack to the film 8 Mile, the song marked a high point in an already meteoric career that still felt in its infancy.  A wildly broad success, “Lose Yourself” would go on to hit number one on 24 charts around the globe, be nominated for five Grammys (winning 1), and won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.  A decade later, the song remains his greatest accomplishment, one so dauntingly impressive that it has haunted his diminishing returns ever since.!!!!
