Eminem Surpasses Drake in Spotify Monthly Listeners

Jun 14 2024

To no surprise, Eminem has reached a new high with over 80 million monthly listeners on Spotify. With no hesitation Eminem pushed Drake back to the no.8 spot to the World’s highest monthly listeners list.

While Drake’s following continues to shrink (it was over 80 million a few days ago), Eminem is only going up from here.

Although Eminem experienced a recent dip, his new single, ‘Houdini’, is growing in streams again, this winning streak is only going to continue from here.

Which rapper do you prefer from the both?

Meteotsunami: Imsida Hit By Flooding Yesterday

Jun 14 2024

People in Imsida yesterday may have noted a significant rise in water levels yesterday as the locality was hit by a meteotsunami.

Oceanography Malta Group at the University of Malta explained that these phenomena are triggered by rapid atmospheric pressure changes, often associated with severe weather.

This was detected by the scientists at UM using ‘cutting edge sea level radars and atmospheric pressure sensors ‘strategically placed along our coast.’

A meteotsunami is a tsunami-like sea wave caused by rapid barometric pressure changes, often due to severe weather like thunderstorms and squalls. Unlike regular tsunamis, meteotsunamis result from atmospheric disturbances and are enhanced by coastal features like bays and inlets.
