Stan by Eminem featuring Dido was a UK number 1 hit on Saturday, December 16, 2000 spending 1 week(s) at the top of the UK charts. This samples "Thank You" from Dido, a British singer/songwriter. This song tells the story of a fan obsessed with Eminem. 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. The Grammy performance was released as a single, with some of the proceeds going to charity. In 2017, the Oxford American Dictionary added the word "stan," defined as "An overzealous or obsessive fan of a particular celebrity." It can be used as a noun ("He's a total stan for Beyoncé") or a verb ("When I was a teenager, I stanned Justin Bieber"). The song is listed as the origin of the word.
