4. Most popular video: Stan
• This song tells a story about an obsessed fan that goes to extremes,
and pretty much goes insane. His whole basement is a shrine to
Eminem and he bleaches his hair to look like him. He sends letters to
Eminem and when his letters are not answered, he puts his pregnant
girlfriend in his trunk and drives off a bridge. The song ends with
Eminem answering his letter and realizing Stan was the man in the
news who drove off the bridge. This vide tells an emotional story and
moves a lot of people.
