So is it Taylor then Drake or Drake then Taylor?
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
1. Drake
2. Swift
2. Bunny
Counting fts on spotify, which they should idk why they didn't.
So for the Top 20 on both apps, 13 artists appear on both lists. The ones that don't are:
Apple Music:
Spotify:
These artist differences make too much sense
When I used to have AM i def listened to all those guys way more
minus Wallen
With features included, the Spotify list is:
1. Drake
2. Taylor Swift
3. Bad Bunny
4. The Weeknd
5. Justin Bieber
6. Ariana Grande
7. Travis Scott
8. Kanye West
9. Eminem
10. Ed Sheeran
11. Rihanna
12. Billie Eilish
13. Kendrick Lamar
14. Bruno Mars
15. Post Malone
16. J Balvin
17. Future
18. BTS
19. Ozuna
20. Coldplay

oh thats why they were crying about including features, stat padding to put drake first
1. Drake

Because hip-hop is the only genre that is heavily feature dependent

Hows that stat padding you relapsed bisexual

Is including features really 'stat padding'? There are a lot of songs that are huge primarily because of their features, and that's true for quite a few songs that Drake has been on

I wouldn't call it stat-padding, but it does disproportionately benefit hip-hop artists

Apple Music:
Spotify:
artists more popular in the us vs overseas
50 projects and loyal fans
Interesting 🧐
artists more popular in the us vs overseas
dave banned why. answer asap thats something u could do for me.
Apple music rap heavy demographic is interesting with how many people own a iPhone or use the apple system. Did everybody who listens to other genres just go to spotify or YouTube?
Drake basically the OG mascot for Apple Music him being #1 just makes sense who knows where the app would be without him
OVOSR/Workout Commerical/Hotline Bling vid/Views drop
need a full @Vietbrah retrospective on this era
Yes (as of April 2026)

I just realized even if u remove fts Drake would be 2. But spotify has him 3.

properly crediting artists for their work should be the standard, so not counting feats disproportionately hurts hip-hop artists

Drake #1
To the be the #1, you gotta lead the way.
No autoplay = no Rihanna no Billie
