this list is pretty much if you have a song over a billion streams then your album is probably on this list
^ people wondering why macklemore album is so high
Thrift Shop is a household name at this point lmao
i think scorpion was bigger imo. Both huge though. Both Top 5 biggest rap of 2010s.
They are I’m just thinking which one is bigger for the culture. Like I’m almost sure Scorpion had the biggest hits, but Views was such a big album in like conversation I remember so many ppl were talking about it

yea it could go both ways. But i think i would say scorpion
Good thing Apple Music(black)
Has list has less of that SoundCloud trash
Didn't know Tim Cook was black
Lotta More Life haters getting exposed. The numbers telling a different story
Not as good as xxxtentacion tho
Do you guys think Views or Scorpion is bigger?
views felt bigger as a whole but scorpion era felt like it lasted way longer cause after only like 6 months post views drake was pushing more life
scorpion also had more pop culture presence with the singles and music videos and nonstop assault of popular features
worth noting too 2016 was like the last year of the old industry before the streaming era really began
i’m curious what the list would look like you if you calculated the average number of streams per song rather than total streams and having one mega hit holding up the whole album
a billion streams on spotify really doesn’t mean that much nowadays

Why tf doesn't Apple Music ever release their stats? How do you even know their list when there isn't one
youngboy only big on youtube
Youngboy just has big songs. I don't think he has any big albums
I think Juice, Pop Smoke, and X were all poised to be huge stars at the time of their deaths. Their deaths did make their existing music bigger than it was, but I think they were bound to get bigger regardless of their death. Maybe not as big as they ended up becoming, but they would have been major players in the game.
As far as who else has died - Takeoff, PNB Rock, Mac Miller, Lil Keed, King Von, Nipsey Hussle, Fredo Santana, Lil Peep, the list goes on.
I don’t disagree with you that the people whose music focuses so much on death like X and Juice will see a bigger boom from their music btw. Just don’t think that their potential should be discounted because they were clearly on their way up prior to dying
Yeah this nigga doesn't realize all them mfs died at 21 or younger . Like they barely got their foots in the door. All 3 of them were only popping for about a year or 2 before they died. Only a year or 2 in the mainstream and years later, they are still discussed and streamed heavily. This just shows the latent potential they had

A lot of the Views hype was before Views too...
I agree the videos add to it
Always thought the Views strategy with only doing the dumbass Child's Play video and the short film was not smart...

that apple music deal really had him locked in for a solid like 3 years, hotline bling probably would’ve stayed exclusive way longer if it didn’t immediately go viral
one dance having the run it did without even having the audio on youtube was insane

Considering how recent streaming is. This list is not surprising at all but still yikes lol
