Around 844M, it should get there in the long run.

[Kyungsoowift]

@Arthoe Taylor has 4: Lover, Reputation, 1989, Red

[GoodGuyGoneGhetto]

At least out how much streams they have approximately in the OP. 

[youmustbeupgraded]

Not Dua’s first album having 5 billion streams 

[fossora]

Woww Gaga, Ariana and Rihanna the only ones having over 4 albums

Halsey is added, Taylor is next!

Love the idea but sis that OP needs a major reworking.

 

Dua Lipa for example has almost 7B streams, not 5. Unless you're not counting the Complete Edition, which I think you should (I think the rule of thumb is to count the version with the most streams).

 

I'm willing to help organize it if you need some help.

I've gone off the ATRL receipts thread for most of the initial info which last had the Complete Edition at 5,7B, but y'all are welcome to point out outdated numbers and I'll update, you're welcome to help

It does get kinda tricky with this EP because "Don't Smile At Me" is both on the expanded version of the EP on the deluxe version of WWFAWDWG?. It does pose the question of "Which album is gonna get its streams?". Another problem is that neither of the expanded editions are on Spotify as a piece of work together, so I have chosen to leave out "Bitches Broken Hearts", "When I Was Older", "Lovely" and "Everything I Wanted" for now as they are all marked as stand-alone singles there.

 

Needless to say, Billie stats still STOMP on everybody even with more than 1 Billion streams floating around in limbus because of technicalities.

Aye well they need to update that.  Once Chartmasters' Spotify tool is fixed, you can use that to easily see how many streams each artist's albums have.

It has its own page on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/album/5YCdlD3eREt72lTZxNL7id?si=ullHch8GTSGUEmZAzTRKug

 

Any album/EP that has a version on Spotify should be counted.

 

WWAFA, WDWG? re-release is only available on Target. So it's not counting for Spotify.

Thanks so much for providing that, this page was geo-locked for me.

@Arthoe Bebe Rexha has two as well.

Expectations and All Your Fault Pt. 2 both include the same 861M song "Meant to Be". If I counted Meant to Be towards Expectations, it would bring the other EP's numbers under a billion and vice versa

But why do you have to choose which one it goes to? If it's on both projects, should it not count towards each projects total streams? I thought that's how we usually handled these things when looking at cumulative album streams and whatnot.

 

(I agree it's "cheating" in a way, but it technically should count I think.)

I personally think it shouldn't count because it artificially inflates and misrepresents stats and well... it is cheating. Not to get all too official, but take Bang Bang by Jessie J, Ariana & Nicki for example. The song is both on My Everything and Sweet Talker, however Billboard and the RIAA count its SPS units pure to "My Everything" because it is the album that accumulated the most units.

 

Personally, I would even be fine including Bang Bang in both My Everything and Sweet Talker's numbers (if Jessie J ever got another album above 1 billion Spotify streams), but the same artist putting the same song on two consecutive projects is pushing it hardcore.
