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

    2019? I think 2017-2018 was climax of Cole/Drake/Kendrick

    Theres been artists with bigger albums than Rod from 2019-2024 (every year he dropped an album) but not many can do the consistent numbers he does

    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

    Good point - I do think Cole would be

    But I dont think that dismisses how big Rod Wave truly is

    As in, Cole "deserves" a spot here (I know technically not because he doesnt have the streams) but Rod does too

    But I think it highlights how Apple Music's miniscule userbase skews popularity

    What do you think the % of total streams is coming from Apple, vs Spotify?

    What do you mean by that

  • Lists like these are pointless when we know the #1 goes to chimp1

  • shaleirose

    What do you mean by that

    Like total streams

    Lets say every year theres 100B streams for music

    What % of that is Spotify/Apple/Other

    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

    and everyone you named is strictly a streaming artist so listeners aren’t being spread thin into other sub categories and have been major artists now for 7+ years. it makes sense

    That's really hard to say. Spotify has over 1K songs with a billion streams, Apple Music had zero as of 2023, so whatever the gap is, it's probably huge. If I had to guesstimate I'd say that 70-80% of music streams globally come from Spotify

    Youngboy, nah

    Lil Baby should be 6 or 5

  • It going to be Drake, Lil Baby, NBA Youngboy top 3

  • BecauseTK

    Youngboy, nah

    Lil Baby should be 6 or 5

    if gunna & rod got more streams than youngboy we might have to start a dialogue

  • DiamondsFlooded

    if gunna & rod got more streams than youngboy we might have to start a dialogue

    Youngboy dominates YouTube though so it makes sense if he's not on here

    Also Youngboy got way more streams on Spotify than Rod
