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.

I would say that suddenly The Beatles streams have lowered something like 100M sice the last time i checked, they were very close to 12M (they were more closer to Anuel and much further from Maluma).

The Weeknd having more lead streams than Post Malone gotta be the worst joke ever. Post’s least streamed album has more streams than The Weeknd’s most streamed album, a 500m gap. They both got 3 albums, The Weeknd has 1 extra EP with 1,8B and that’s it. I’m beginning to doubt this site heavily

Hi EdSheeranIsTheBest!

When you are down to ‘doubt heavily’ an automated process directly plugged on Spotify API, you may start questioning yourself. By the way, before bringing conspiracy theories or whatever, it would be great to at least check how many albums the Weeknd released, I suppose it’s not that hard to be accurate on this point!

Hey admin, I was trying to look up Mitski and it only pulled up half of her discography. Is there a way to get the tool to recognize her other albums?
