Collectively, they are Bad Meets Evil. The EP is actually called "Hell: The Sequel."

Put your “Lighters” up. Eminem and Royce da 5’9” join forces with Bruno Mars on their unexpected collaboration from the Bad Meets Evil EP Hell: The Sequel (June 14). The inspirational anthem, produced by Eminem, The Smeezingtons, and Battle Roy, boasts triumphant verses from Em and Royce (“I remember when T-Pain ain’t want to work with me”), climaxing with an uplifting hook from Bruno (“This one’s for you and me, living out our dreams”). Underdogs unite.

The verses are so hot but Bruno's parts are a snoozefest.

Yeah, this is the single.
It's already Top 40 at Rhythmic and blowing up.

#5 on iTunes and really skyrocketing at radio.
I'm starting to wonder if this is a contender for Hot 100 #1. There's not much competition ahead.

It literally took me one listen to get sick of this. Trying too blatantly fill the "Airplanes"/"Lose Yourself" "epic" niche, I'm more than burned out on Bruno Mars at this point, and I know if I don't get sick of it now, I will in four weeks because it will be all over radio. So this is whatever for me.

Bruno's parts in this song are absolutely terrible. It's one if those rare cases, as far as these kind of collaborations go, where the raps are better than the hook.

So glad this slowed down before posing a legit threat to going to #1 on the Hot 100.

Eminem and Royce Da 5’9” ignite the fire within in the aspirational video for “Lighters,” their top 5 collaboration with Bruno Mars off the Bad Meets Evil EP Hell: The Sequel. The Rich Lee-directed clip shows footage of the Detroit MCs before they made it big, a blonde Em sitting on his couch trying to write rhymes and Royce rapping behind bars. They both escape their old lives and triumphantly emerge on the other side. Co-star Bruno plays the piano to the empowering tune as the sky lights up with lanterns.

Boring video. The song itself is fine, it's just really tired. Eminem still has nothing new to say and Bruno Mars is doing his typical hook.

#1 on the Mediabase all-format rolling chart today...but might get replaced by "Moves Like Jagger" before it can be official this weekend.
1. BAD MEETS EVIL - Lighters f/Bruno Mars: 117.107 (+ 1.103) ▲
This has made it all the way up to #3 CHR/Pop and is still chugging, but it's behind "Moves Like Jagger" so will probably have to settle for a #2 peak there.
I believe this peaked at #4 on the Hot 100
#2 peak on Rhythmic

I really hope this doesn't officially peak at #1 in national airplay. What a filler #1.
