Love the Way You Lie Music Video (WATCH HERE)

After you see the official video below, see “Love The Way You Lie” Cover Video has 2.5+ Million Views!”

Eminem’s “Love the Way You Lie” is literally the hottest song in the world. On the 5th of this month, the video went up. After one day, the official music video had nearly 1 million views. Only short of 4 days later, the video has almost reached 20 million views. If the views alone aren’t enough to show Eminem and Rihanna’s success, it’s also received a long list of Youtube awards, including the “#1 – Most Viewed (This Week)) – Music.”

And, this may come as no surprise, but the demographics show that the video is most popular with females ages 13 – 17. Males ages 25 – 34 come in second, and males ages 18 – 24 come in third. These demographics are usually provided when someone is signed into their Youtube account. Upon signing up for a Youtube account, people enter their age and gender. A lot of people who watch the video do not have Youtube accounts, thus, we’re not quite sure if demographics are obtained for these individuals.

If all of this great news isn’t enough, Megan Fox has donated her “Love the Way You Lie” paycheck, to a women’s shelter (Examiner). According to the source, the Sojourn House shelter, which takes in abused women, was donated Megan Fox’s earnings. The shelter is directly related to the story of the music video, which Erik Hayden, an author at the Atlantic Wire, recently tried to depict. In his article, posted at the Atlantic Wire, Hayden post’s people’s reactions to the video. Everyone seems to have a different opinion.

It’s Not a Great Message to be sending to adolescents, writes Randy Susan Meyers at The Huffington Post. Specifically, she singles out this Rihanna lyric: “Just gonna stand there and watch me burn / that’s alright because I like the way it hurts.” And concludes:”This is not the authentic gift to give our girls. Not when you read the grim statistics in Domestic Violence Fatalities and Homicides/Fatality Review.”

The Backstories Add to the Emotional Punch of the music video, offers Jozen Cummings at Wall Street Journal’s Speakeasy blog. “Co-star Rihanna suffered a beating at the hands of her former boyfriend Chris Brown in 2009, and Eminem has long documented his tempestuous relationship with his ex-wife Kim in his music.” And the “event video” collaboration certainly drew attention.

“Love the Way You Lie” is one of the most viewed and quickly widespread music video of our time. As we reported the other day, “Love the Way You Lie” is also the #1 song on Billboard’s Top 100 charts. The song was first released in June, and since then, has been listened to by millions of people around the world (Wikipedia).
