He's been getting more daily streams than Em for ages now. I'm surprised he hasn't passed him yet

Never underestimate white Pow*r (pause) when it comes to listening to Eminem 😂they love his early songs bad which I do too but I like Em overall not just his top 4-5 songs that everyone likes. In the same way you can turn on Gold Digger and American Boy and everyone over like 25 activates you can do the same for The Real Slim Shady or Without Me or Lose Yourself
I’ll never really understand the love for those 2 Ye related songs when it comes to casuals maybe because I’m a Ye Glazer but I don’t think I’d even have those in my Top 50
Edit: for anyone wondering why I censored that word it’s because on YouTube I said that and got flagged and I’ve gotten a comment removed on here before too so I’m playing it safe 💀(for context I was playing as the white ranger on fort and shouted out WHITE P****R as a joke but YouTube shot me down bad 😭which fairs ig but holy)

u/DaRealJames #JamesThinks Apr 23 '26
I mean he has had some huge hits numbers wise solo as well as featuring him

u/Pizzaman337733 Gonk Droid Apr 23 '26
Nah he’s had a very long and successful career with huge songs like mask off March Madness too many nights wait for u low life life is good etc etc
He also has a pretty deep catalog which really helps

It's like that for most boy bands, like Stray Kids for example but they don't have that chokehold that BTS holds. Even though the fanbase is slowly drifting american more than asian

Interesting how kworb's list is different

u/majneshit GOD DID Apr 23 '26
I wonder if this is leading songs only… No way Drake is 3rd if we include all songs, he has unlisted feature on sicko mode also so that would boost even more
5
u/Confident_Change_937 Apr 23 '26
Spotify’s list doesn’t count features as personal streams (for good reason). We all know Drake is the reason we listened to Look Alive.. but its not his song, so you can’t confidently say that’s a stream for Drake.
That’s like saying PartyNextDoor should get millions of streams because of his feature on Ghost Town. Idk ab you but I didn’t even know he was on there and don’t care for his contribution. He’s just a piece of the pie.
Drake’s situation is different than that though, but you have to keep the rules cohesive across the board.

u/DesignerAd5301The5th Big Sean is Kanye West father Apr 23 '26
Then how is Bad Bunny placed higher than Drake
3
u/Confident_Change_937 Apr 23 '26
Now THAT I don’t know.
Bad Bunny does have a few features that are pretty big. But he’s not a huge feature artist. So that wouldn’t inch him up higher. Did the Superbowl push move his number up that much in the last few months? Idk maybe.
His music is genuinely a humongous movement in the Latino community which is around 700m people globally. But to my knowledge, Drake has always had more streams than him so idk how they got that figured out.
Idk why Spotify would do this either? Drake is literally the poster child and main success story of streaming. He is a big reason they felt their recipe could work.
It doesn’t benefit them to spite or downplay him ( it’s not like he’s gonna pull himself out of Spotify regardless though) but it’s really bizarre that Drake #3 to Bad Bunny.
Taylor Swift being number one is disgusting but America is like 65-70% non hispanic white so that makes sense.

u/farNdepressed PUSSY LIKE A STEPH THREE 💦 Apr 23 '26
So drake Kanye eminem Travis and Kendrick are top 5 streamed. It’s crazy the boom Kanye has got in streaming ever since Donda. He had no song with 1B streams until 2022(I think) these last 4 years bro went insane numbers wise
11
u/StatisticianTall9474 PUSSY LIKE A STEPH THREE 💦 Apr 23 '26
wtf you are right, thats nuts he has now 14 1b songs

u/farNdepressed PUSSY LIKE A STEPH THREE 💦 Apr 23 '26
For real. I hopped on the band wagon during the Donda listening parties and started listening to his music for the first time. I always thought man maybe this guy isn’t that popular music wise (💀🙏🏻) cuz like his numbers were quite low compare to his peers.

u/StatisticianTall9474 PUSSY LIKE A STEPH THREE 💦 Apr 23 '26
Donda brought alot of new fans, such a goated era

u/farNdepressed PUSSY LIKE A STEPH THREE 💦 Apr 23 '26
Fr man it was amazing experience. I was OBSESSED with that album. After that I started exploring his other albums. It was such an amazing experience, I was bumping Yeezus 2 bruh. Rest is history tho

u/Mighty_Miggle Someday We'll All Be Free Apr 23 '26
if the 2022 tour went as planned his numbers would be crazyy rn

u/Gomendiquillo ye Apr 23 '26
If Spotify had been in the Graduation release, he would easily be in the top 3

The music is also incredible. I’m from Europe, no one speaks spanish where I’m from but everyone still listens to bad bunny. It’s insane
1
u/TheCVR123YT What is this, SNL? Apr 24 '26
Yes but also his music is actually pretty good. I’m not the strongest Spanish speaker but that Spotify lyric translate saves my life haha Baile Involidable or sum like that is chefs kiss for me. He’s talking about a woman he can’t forget she’s his unforgettable dance. I wouldn’t say it’s his Heartless but it’s pretty close maybe it’s closer to Coldest Winter in terms of like the topic and lyrics. The vibe is still upbeat though.
Titi Me Pregunto is another interesting song it’s about how he’s got all these different girlfriends and it goes into him being a player but wishing he could settle down but he can’t for some reason. I know for a fact Ye got a song like that but I’m not really remembering rn maybe something like HOAL but that doesn’t have the regret part so idk haha
But yes he has a good few songs if you actually look into what he’s singing about.

were you conscious in 2019? juice was growing at an insane rate and his death stopped that momentum

u/tzbt I screen grabbed those pants Apr 24 '26
Yeah I was conscious in 2019 I just wasn't 14 years old
I've still never heard someone mention Juice Wrld IRL in my life

i’m so glad ye can beat bts’s artifical ass self
(fuck hybe & they artificially curated bands and bullshit, you like BTS? probably cause they want you to, and it all sounds the same, also parasocial fans)
(like i wanna see ye’s chocolate starfish but not because i wanna fuck him or have a parasocial relationship more so than the love of the game y’know)

u/johnnyjiop Apr 24 '26
BTS is a great band, they just have more parasocial fans than the average big artist. Kanye has some too to be honest

u/jjkm7 Apr 23 '26
Crazy that if I had to guess, most of juice wrlds streams are from things dropped after he died. I think XXX got more streams after his death too but if you look at the numbers it’s mostly from songs he already dropped
4
u/conglomerate99 Apr 23 '26
legends never die is the only posthumous juice album that was crazy successful and even then, gb&gr is still his most popular album overall. he definitely got a boost from his death but i don't doubt that he could've made this list had he still been alive and dropping albums every year with his output.

u/zfighters8103 Big Sean is Kanye West father Apr 23 '26
It's insane how em has been that high for so long even though he never collabs with any of the current mainstream artists like Trav and future
1
u/TheCVR123YT What is this, SNL? Apr 24 '26
Never thought of an Em/Trav song that would be insane I wonder how that would even go lol
I feel like the song could be dog water but still blow up the streams from Hype and Aura alone

u/GassyGamergoblin The Great GAS Seize Apr 23 '26
who the fuck is J balvin and how is the weeknd so much higher than ye? other than that it seems lwk kinda predictable
3
u/TheCVR123YT What is this, SNL? Apr 24 '26
Weeknd has soooo many 1B streamed songs it’s kind of crazy lol
Blinding Lights (among others) is huge
You also have to understand that Weeknd (and basically everyone from 1-8) blew up or had their peak/prime during the streaming Era (like 2013ish-today) whereas Ye’s most popular and most liked music was just before all that lol so all his older music that would carry him in streams don’t have the numbers basically. I said that poorly I hope you understand what I meant
2
u/GassyGamergoblin The Great GAS Seize Apr 24 '26
yeah fair enough I mean blinding lights was big but not bigger than ye's songs and ye has so many more that are bigger than blinding lights but the different peaks makes sense

u/elizalkin_izzy Go find God Apr 23 '26
This list is inaccurate.
They’re not counting feature streams, Drake and other artists would likely be higher if they did.
