I understand why tho. They're so invested in their favorite artist, that Baby or Cole success is theirs as well. Sales is cool and all but I wish we placed as much emphasis on the music for all artists not just the collective that does well on billboard.

No that was because op already made this thread but it got deleted honestly I had it ready for the remake

@BigDckBandit Jonathan?

Let’s see if he can catch the 3rd thread in the morning

I know this made the rounds online but it isn't accurate.

This is an accurate list of the most streamed artists in the US (based on the Rolling Stone Artist 500 Chart) so far this year, updated through last week.

1. Drake - 2,236.2B
2. Morgan Wallen - 2,130.9B
3. Taylor Swift - 2,116.3B
4. Juice WRLD - 1,664.1B
5. YoungBoy Never Broke Again - 1,463.7B
6. The Weeknd - 1,378.3B
7. Lil Baby - 1,287.6B
8. Pop Smoke - 1,281.2B
9. Justin Bieber - 1,206.8B
10. Ariana Grande - 1,192.5B

18. DaBaby - 827.0M

he got the boring white meme kids in high school fanbase and it's so weird

As of March this year.

I've seen like 15 remixes of Lemon Pepper Freestyle since it dropped.

I don't think I've ever in my life decided to check out an artist because of their stream numbers

OP didn't lie

I can't believe Morgan Wallen said the n word and that actually made people listen to him even more he's doing Drake numbers off racists

people itt posting fake stats im crineeeeeeee

those bad bunny numbers...... wow

no sources no real numbers,just agendas,likes and vibes.

His biggest streaming platform is Spotify so not surprising.

He released a 30-track album at the top of the year. The week the video of him saying the N word was released, his numbers jumped lmao.

I don't want the blame for that
That was from Our Generation Music and they're usually right. They're not a big publication like Billboard but it's credible they were almost accurate about Drake being #1

I'm still curious about where they got those numbers from because they aren't accurate no matter what public sources you use: whether Rolling Stone Artist 500 Chart, Spotify, YouTube. None of them correlate with what they posted and they never linked any source in their post as well. Just weird.

Moneybagg and NF were way out of place

Kanye West and Lil Durk as well. Also, no YoungBoy NBA. Eminem, Bad Bunny and Lil Uzi are all above DaBaby as well and they're not on that list.
