do we have an up to date list for spotify?

Spotify has 600 million users,apple barely has 100 million

That doesn’t make it uninteresting.. it’s still a pool of 100M people having vastly different taste in music vs. the 600M people that use the other service. Might speak to their algorithms and playlist, type of people that are inclined to choose each service, etc

martian masterWhat do you think the % of total streams is coming from Apple, vs Spotify?
you can prob calculate what percent spotify is based on totc and spotify us charts. for some albums for first few weeks.

rap listeners are more likely to use apple while pop use spotify. i think its partially because pop listeners were early to use spotify also lots of people outside US dont use iphones.

this not surprising if you look at target demographic of each artist.
its basically rap vs pop

True, but we're not sure if Apple is either
Also, even with features included for Spotify, the list is the exact same with the exception of Ozuna swapped out for Juice WRLD< and the order is just different. But 19 of the 20 artists still appear in the Top 20 with or without features
