Data Collector – Biggest Streaming Artists

drake

After publishing articles about Biggest Digital Single Sellers and Biggest Physical Single Sellers a few days ago, it is time to add a list about the last category single-oriented: Streaming. Do the Beatles and Rihanna, who have dominated the previous categories, also lead this list? Is it mostly made up of artists who have emerged in recent years? You will find the answer in the list below!

Please keep in mind some artists with strong results in this format haven’t been studied so far, e.g. The Chainsmokers, Kendrick Lamar or Sia. All figures reflect the value as collected at the time of the artist’s respective articles. This precision is very important because of the fast increase of Streaming figures for now.

A lot of lists like this one are available in the Data Collector, so feel free to read them to gauge how your favorite artist ranked in it.

Reminder of the formula:

Equivalent Albums Sales (EAS) = 212/132 * Spotify streams / 1500 + YouTube views / 11750
