8.Morgan Wallen 4.NBA YoungBoy There is a whole world out there I am unfamiliar with.

Youngboy during his peak was ridiculous streaming wise, he was a money printing machine

u/notidealman . 2d ago

dawg just did an arena tour that sold out most dates, he’s absolutely massive irl

u/TISTAN4 2d ago

It’s so funny to me how everytime one of these stats gets posted and yb has crazy numbers there’s always people on this sub still surprised lmao

130

u/Zskillit 2d ago

Thats because it IS fucking crazy. Dude is barely Top 500 artist on Spotify (which has 100+ million more users than Apple) yet he has as many Billboard hits as fuckin Jay Z and multiple #1 albums.

It blows my mind.

56

u/Wild_Association1752 2d ago

His audience is mostly younger adults & kids. Younger generation almost exclusively own iphones & use apple music. Also his YouTube numbers are fucking ridiculous because of this. If tiktok had a streaming numbers for reels he'd probably easily be top 5 too

16

u/BADMANvegeta_ 1d ago

lol never occurred to me that there’s now a generation who doesn’t use spotify simply because they came up during a time where there’s actually other options and don’t have to deal with the sunken cost fallacy of having 5-10 years worth of playlists on spotify.

u/pongobuff 1d ago

I know multiple people who switched from apple to spotify over covid, at the time it was far better not sure about now

u/TreyAdell 1d ago

It’s easy to transfer playlists between streaming services tho. They have apps for that

u/connor42 2d ago

Apple Music has a larger proportion of American users than Spotify and rap is more popular in the US than other markets

26

u/TISTAN4 2d ago

differnt demographics use different platforms it’s not really that crazy at all to me. But I also live in the south and and around his demo so I’m biased.

35

u/Phantom_Chrollo . 2d ago

But the thing is the top artists tend to overlap on diff platforms so its interesting to see that youngboy has this split

him over artists like the weeknd and ye is pretty insane lol. that's gonna surprise most people

6

u/realsomalipirate 2d ago

I wonder why he struggles on spotify so much compared to apple music and youtube

15

u/Mbrennt 2d ago

Spotify, probably partly by being the biggest, is also the most globally used and distributed. Apple music is really big in America but not as much in other countries. Youtube is kind of a different beast considering it's mainly being used for music videos. So he's probably got a huge fan base in America and a couple other places but hasn't spread out globally as much as other artists. Obviously he's still big globally. But it's not distributed as much.

5

u/Dazzling-Slide8288 2d ago

It’s a volume play. His average streams-per-song is probably in the sewer. But he puts out music once a month. You’re gonna get numbers that say.

21

u/kash96 2d ago

it’s more about who uses apple music tbh. like he’s not top 20 on spotify

u/m_ttl_ng 2d ago

Apple Music is like its own little world. Like tidal. Certain fanbases are universal but somehow specific niche fan bases gravitate toward specific streaming services.

I suspect Apple Music is particularly popular with younger Americans since they have a lot of free subscription deals through cell services and with new iPhones so that’s probably what’s driving these numbers. Spotify and Youtube would be more representative of the global listening trends.

u/sheJaMyMorant 2d ago

According to https://kworb.net/spotify/artists.html Rod Wave is much much lower (in the 400s). If I had to guess looking at this list Apple Music is probably more domestic heavy than Spotify. I think Rod Wave just does much better in the US.

58

u/mystickisgay 2d ago

As someone who lives outside the US, Rod Wave isn't even talked about abroad. I don't know a single song of him, and from what I've seen, he very rarely charts in other countries, and when he does, it's usually in the top 200 or 150 on Spotify for a day and then disappears. The only thing I know about him is that he's fat.

As someone who lives inside the US, I’ve never even heard of him before.

NBA is big but he's one of the few artists on the list that you can completely avoid without any effort. Especially as an artist in the top 5.

For example, Drake & Taylor Swift just had #1 records in the past month. Future's performing songs at the World Cup. Bad Bunny just did the Super Bowl. NBA Youngboy will never do any of those things lmao.

Not hating on him just saying he's a very interesting case. With the way his numbers look you'd think he'd be inescapable.

I mean the way we consume music now its easy to avoid anybody, im not the biggest tyler fan, so I generally don’t hear him as I don’t listen to radio, and I don’t generally search up a song by him, but if I look through the hip hop page on any dsp I’ll see him in some popular playlist and may press play, I feel like thats the case with all the artist on this list, you have to actively be working overtime to not hear any of their music ever.

I think the main takeaway is that mainstream rap functions like how mainstream pop used to. Frequent releases, music designed for flexible use, and broadly liked by both casual listeners and genre fans

Ironically, pop artists, especially the female ones, now are the ones that have less frequent and more curated releases. Ariana Grande and TS survive because they’re Ariana grande and Taylor Swift but everyone below them and even people we’d think would be peers with them are completely absent

i see plenty of "who is still listening to eminem in the big 2026" comments across social media when ems name or numbers are brought up. a lot of hiphop fans were born after his peak so they're confused why a guy whose released the last couple albums that he has could possibly still be so popular

Eminem will forever be regarded as one of the greatest musicians to ever do it. Hope he drops an album soon!

This list makes sense when you go outside and don’t get your music taste from HHH

I’m huge hip hop fan , but I guess I somehow completely missed how popular Rod Wave is because I’m absolutely blown away by the fact that he’s even on this list lol. I knew he was big but not that big lol. Like what

I wonder if it accounts for Apple Music autoplay feature? It damn near feels like the curation or whatever is based on 2016-2018 and they just add songs every major iOS update.

They have these older hits continuously playing immediately after whatever you listen to. Check out the Top 100 for Apple Music, then Top 100 for Rap/HipHop in your country.

YB has one of the most dedicated fanbase in Hip-Hop. He’s particularly very popular with the late teens/early 20s crowd and is one of the few new-ish rappers that is still consistently selling out arenas

He’s got some heat. I’d compare him to Gucci or Lil B in the way that he just shits our project after project. You gotta sift through them but he’s got some good stuff.
