These days it seems like Drake has a stranglehold on Spotify streams. He continues to break records on the music platform such as his sixth studio album Certified Lover Boy setting the record for single-day streams. However, it looks like another rapper just surpassed him on Spotify when it comes to monthly listeners.
According to Spotify, Doja Cat has 63.69 million monthly listeners passing Drake’s current number at 63.3 million. Lil Nas X, whose debut album MONTERO was denied a No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 by Certified Lover Boy, inched by the 6 God as the second most popular rapper with 63.62 million monthly streams.
The numbers coming in for Doja Cat are a result of her third studio album Planet Her crushing the streaming platform.
Several songs on Planet Her are expected to hit 100 million streams and some are even close to the one billion mark such as Doja’s collaboration with SZA titled “Kiss Me More.” Doja currently sits at fifth place on the list of artists with the most Spotify listeners.
Justin Bieber took the top spot with 85.2 million listeners while Ed Sheeran (75 million), The Weeknd (68.5 million) and Dua Lipa (66.1 million) fill out the rest of the Top 5. Despite passing him in monthly listeners, Doja Cat has a lot of work to do if she thinks of catching up to Drake’s crazy streaming numbers.
Drake Becomes 1st Artist On Spotify To Have 150 Songs Streams Over 100 Million Times
In January, Drake was the first artist in history to achieve 50 billion Spotify streams across all his credited songs. He was also the first person to have 150 songs stream on Spotify over 100 million times and was named the most-streamed artist of the 2010s.
I mean how long did yall expect that to last?
The fuck is this? How is this about Drake when JB has the top spot ..who’s writing this shit
Word! Shouts to Biebz maaaan
Spotify sucks. I dont get how streaming a song you didnt buy counts. Sure you paid for the service, but when you bought a disc you got one count no matter how many times you played it. Thats the way it sould be. They should make it so that once your account plays that song the first time, replays dont count. Especially for billboard.
Someone at Lil Nas X record label is definitely leaving there spotify running all day and night to get him those numbers after that lackluster release. I’ll say it again though.. Hes not hip hop and never will be. I left this comment to piss off Lil Nas X fans #trolling.
Don’t waste your time. He doesn’t have any real fans, he’s just being pushed by the machine.
It’s actually entertaining to see the obvious industry made artists (him and Meg) get such accolades outside of their own releases but when it’s time to drop their own albums they can barely sell any despite the fact they both prolly have near 100million dollar budgets
So she’s the best rapper ever with many classic albums, right? Y’all been talking streams, likes and relevancy non-stop. This proves she’s the GOAT, right?!?!
