Spotify Most Streamed Artists Ever

Most streamed artists on Spotify – Methodology

This ranking presents the top Spotify artists based on streams from tracks available inside their personal page’s sections Albums, Singles and Compilations. They are combined together and defined as “Lead streams”.

The number of tracks available and over several milestones are based on lead songs only.

Streams achieved thanks to songs listed below the Appears on section on Spotify do not impact the overall ranking and these milestones statistics, they are still shown inside the column “Featured streams”.

While the highest part of the list is comprehensive, as we go down artists may be missing.

If you notice an omission, just use our streaming search tool to look for the related artist and if he scored enough streams he will automatically and instantly appear in this top.

In fact, numbers are continuously updated as you search for them. As soon as new daily data is in for an artist, this will be reflected in the overall ranking.

As the Spotify database is tricky, we can’t guarantee you there won’t be occasional data glitches, even if we developed several controls to grant data consistency. If an issue appears in spite of these controls, manual fixes will be performed.

Wondering if these staggering figures now being incorporated by Billboard into charts will ever truly replace official rankings of physical sales for albums and singles . Its a bit confusing for a non professional because for example Nat Coles Christmas album chatted up to #8 on the Billboard( Xmas albums from the past were excluded for years from the main chart after initial release too) but when looking closer its all the streams of one song , the iconic version of The Christmas Song that pushed it into the top ten ( like Mariah as well). Anyway it’s astounding how… Read more »

Créeme que no es porque les da la gana de sacarle porque les cae mal, esto se actualiza solo (sistema) y lo que puede estar pasando es que están sacando canciones que no están en su página de Spotify y por lo tanto no cuentan o simplemente hay un error en el sistema.

Which songs are included under featured streams, shouldn’t it be more than only 110m streams?

Hi Fghhj!

Featured streams are songs that do not appear inside an artist page’s album, single, compilation sections, instead they only pop up under the “Appears on” category.

Hi, suga’s interlude bu halsey feat bts is at +50M and who by lauv feat. BTS is at 93M, waste It on me by steve aoki is at 193M alone so I think It need updating on features, or maybe this are already counted on overall streams?

bts is at the 20th spot now with 14.23 Billion streams you need to update it

Hi itszshreya!

BTS are at 21 with 14.14 billion. They add 110 million from features, which aren’t factored in for ranking purpose. If we do factor them, then many artists (Juice WRLD, Kendrick Lamar, Daddy Yankee, Bruno Mars, Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, Future and more) would jump over BTS to push them at the bottom of the top 30.

Then why don’t we add the features stream and then rank according to that because even if they’re featured the streams still go to them

Featured streams are displayed for information purpose, but lead streams are more reflective of an artist success. 2 Chainz or Quavo move from less than 3 billion to near 10 billion with features for example, and the former number is way more relevant to draw their popularity than the latter.
