True about so many mediocre artists.

Wholeheartedly agree. Stopped listening after Hollywood's Bleeding anyway

Surely YB is on here and all those streams aren't coming from Youtube

Would be less pointless of a list if there were names on there that weren't just names of the moment between 2015 and now

Michael Jackson Wayne Sade Bob Dylan bob marley the Beatles etc (just names of big artist that come to mind don't nitpick this bc they are old) not being on there vs the 10 names that likely fill out the rest of this list is odd and that's what makes it kind of a glorified "most popular artists since 2015" list

@Jim_Halpert_

ha

I think it's a good way to notate what's been popular during this era, the problem is the people who read these lists and misinterpret what they mean

wasn’t this Beats Music? lol

Beats Music, you a real one

Free Spotify

why the hell would those old ass dudes be on a list of who’s had the most streams on Apple Music?? this isn’t a chart of 1962-present

also, who on that list is a “name of the moment”?? Rod Wave has been consistently one of the highest streaming artists since like 2020. Lil Durk & Gunna have solid fanbases, no surprise there. the rest are self explanatory.

Looking at the entire list so far, Gunna, Durk, and Rod Wave definitely stick out like sore thumbs

Smh How Rod Stick out

ktt2.com/rod-wave-is-quietly-putting-numbers-on-the-board-32557237

His fan base is also unporportionately more on AM than Spotify (he's ~400th most streamed with 8B streams on Spotify)

huh? Meltdown? Fein? 4x4 is a number 1 song lol

We don't know if it's unproportionate, they don't reveal the actual totals

He very well could have 8B on Apple Music too

As of 2023, the highest-streamed song on the platform didn't even have a billion streams

Morgan Wallen on the top 10 is a disgrace 4 yall americans

I mean if thats the case

8B on apple means more than 8B on spotify

Because 8B only good for 400th or so most streamed on Spotify

just because they’re newer? Durk’s been around longer than Ariana, Post, and Travis

Durk’s had a solid & growing fanbase since the early 2010s with various smaller hits per album, some bigger hits too

Gunna had a strong enough fanbase to outsell The Weeknd in 2022 (botted allegedly) and has been dropping chart-topping hits & features since 2017, plus his recent output has been doing well internationally

Rod Wave has kept a solid fanbase since 2020 and had a few major hits as well

how do they make less sense than anyone else on here? they have strong fanbases

Lmfao and when we do we’re listening to unchartable music

That doesn't make it disproportionate though, that just means Apple Music is hip-hop dominant and has a way smaller userbase than Spotify

Spotify has over 1,000+ songs with at least 1 billion streams

As of May 2023, Apple Music had zero

But my point more is regardless of platform

His last 4 albums did 100K+ fw and all 6 of his albums are plat or plat elig - and did it in a decent amount of time

Hes been putting up #s since 2019, doesnt really stick out to me

As of June this year hes moved 1.2M album units in the USA, without a new album since Q4 2024

He has a dedicated fanbase and imo just needs a crossover hit or 2 to really do damage. He has 90 billboard top 100 hits with none being a top 10 - his fanbase is just super supportive

its for RAP .

Look at the rest of the list so far:

Kanye
Post Malone
Chris Brown
Ariana Grande
Kendrick Lamar
Ed Sheeran
Justin Bieber
Eminem

And then there's the names that haven't been mentioned yet like:

Drake
Taylor Swift
Bad Bunny
The Weeknd
etc.

These are some of the most popular, highest-selling, longest-charting artists of all-time

In comparison to THESE NAMES... Gunna, Durk, and Rod definitely stick out
