    its for RAP .

    It's hip-hop dominant because its US-dominant, that doesn't mean it's for rap

  • shaleirose

    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

    Rod lapping Drake by 2040 just wait

    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

    I never said he doesn't have a fanbase

    What I'm saying is that him, Gunna, and Durk are nowhere near as big or popular as the rest of the names on this list

  • OnceAgain

    Rod wave lol

    don’t even like him but he’s been putting up numbers for a minute how is that surprising lmao

    MELTDOWN and 4x4 didn’t count for s*** over time

    Fe!n is his only single with legs since astroworld. Everything else has been week 1 hype

    Its really weird considering his spotify numbers in comparison tho

    I think considering how long streamings been around (not long), and Rod career being through the height of it, its not that surprising

    Dont really follow Gunna / Durk numbers closely to comment on them

    Let's say hypothetically speaking they revealed the totals for everyone, and Rod Wave had like 3B total streams on the platform

    Would you still feel he's as big as you're saying he is?

    Yea but it makes sense if you look at his total units

    (I think its a safe assumption despite AM / Spotify numbers being global - majority of his streams are american)

  • SABMAN TURNT

    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

    Lowkey not botted ngl

    I feel Billboard would said something to big up the weeknd and give him the #1

    So he's huge in the USA but the rest of the world doesnt give af?

    Interesting cause usually American acts break through globally too cause of the American dominance in the music scene

    Rod Wave is indeed huge af

    If thats good enough for 17th on Apple? Yes

    I think Rod is probably top 5 biggest living rappers of new gen (post big 3), and for this chart which again is only Streaming (post 2015 or so?) - it aligns with how big I think he is

    What year is your inception point for "new gen"?

    Yea i mean i dont have numbers but i cant imagine rod wave having a big presence outside USA.

    Off eye test tho, even his Toronto / didnt sell out / free ticket upgrades / 2 for 1 deals

    Wheras every american show on same tours sold out and were packed

    Also, there's a good chance Cole doesn't make this list at all. Do you think Rod Wave has been more popular than J. Cole since 2015? @martian_master
