    the list that fader thinks is super accurate

    IFPI Top Global Recording Artists of 2024
    1. Taylor Swift
    2. Drake
    3. SEVENTEEN
    4. Billie Eilish
    5. Stray Kids
    6. Zach Bryan
    7. The Weeknd
    8. Eminem
    9. Kendrick Lamar
    10. Sabrina Carpenter

    the apparent best peak for a rapper ever is behind Eminem

    Fader has two brain cells lol

    Whoever thinks he’s chart obsessed is actually stupid. He released What did I miss a day late, now doghouse multiple days late when it had the strongest chance now to debut at #1. He never cared lol

    nah what I mean is I believe she could hit Taylor Swift type popularity (and honestly higher)

    the gap between taylor and everyone else is pretty big and I genuinely thought Sabrina could close it greatly, but now I'm not sure

    Yea was just discussing this. Had super high expectations for her career before this album. Went into it and was super disappointed. Knew instantly this album didn’t have what it takes to compete with Short and Sweet.

    Idk if you're trolling lol but I think someone could come quite close in 5~ years if they released 3-4 albums as good as Short n Sweet. Which is definitely a tall order lol

    The thing about Taylor Swift is that most of her popularity isn't from people listening to her actual music, it's more to do with her celebrity status. But I don't think challenging her via that route is a good idea

    There hasn't been a single female artist in the last 20 years that has consistently released huge hits tbh, closest is Rihanna, who gave up about 10 years ago now

    Top rappers across some of the biggest countries on spotify is pretty interesting

    UK
    #2 Drake
    #12 YE
    #17 Eminem
    #26 Gunna
    #30 Trav
    #34 Kendrick

    Sweden
    #2 Drake
    #19 Ye
    #47 Kendrick

    Germany
    #7 Drake
    #31 Eminem
    #33 Trav
    #69 Kendrick

    gap between drake + everyone else is quite odd. maybe fader's right. drake is botting. Eminem/YE quite far behind so it can't be the back catalog.

    Bad bunny is bad bunny

    Taylor announced a new album

    Drake is doing a rollout

    Why are you losing your mind over less than a million difference for someone who hasn’t dropped in almost a year

    That’s close to a billion streams, not just a million.
    Drake doing a rollout or Bad Bunny simply being Bad Bunny has nothing to do with Kendrick’s drop in numbers.
    His streaming numbers went down from 50 billion to 49 billion.

  • Sep 8, 2025

    2024 was apparently Kendrick's biggest year yet

    2017 he was the 4th most streamed artist globally on spotify
    2024 he wasn't even top 10, actually 17th

    DAMN era kendrick is always disrespected

    Woopty doo, the further he gets away from his last album the more it will drop, when he drops another album it will increase, rinse and repeat

    Kendrick's drop in the last 3-4months is one of the biggest a superstar artist has seen, I think that's the point here. It's very abnormal

    He’s the least digestible “superstar” on that list and was catapulted onto that level after having one of the craziest years ever, it’s not that insane that the further we move from that moment without new music the more he will drop, which is not an issue for someone who doesn’t chase streams

    It was a cool moment but nobody listens to Kendrick because of how many streams he does, he’s an album artist

    DAMN was already a superstar level album in 2017 though, he was literally the 4th most streamed artist globally that year... that album had huge hits. He is very digestible

    Even a month before his superbowl performance this year, on Spotify Global Album charts he had GNX at #6, DAMN at #68, GKMC at #141, Black Panther at #187

    8 months later GNX is at #69 (-63 spots), DAMN is at #141 (-73 spots). This is completely ignoring the superbowl, because I'm comparing to a month before it. In fact without that superbowl boost, the drop off would be worse.

    I've never seen an artist's back catalog albums fall off so hard because its been a while since a new project

    For sure but there was almost a 10 year gap between damn and GNX, with one of the most non commercial mainstream albums of all time in between

    There was also no Super Bowl during the damn era

    If that screenshot was such concrete evidence it would be way more of a big deal instead of just a Drake stan talking point

    You still don’t get it, or are you just pretending not to? Kendrick is still pulling 19 to 23 million daily streams. This drop has nothing to do with him not releasing an album recently, it’s clearly botted streams being removed.

    No you don’t get it, y’all are thirsty for validation for your conspiracies so bad that every few months y’all fabricate evidence just for nothing to come from it

    At this point I expect y’all to bot his streams yourself just to have something to be mad at
