JawBreaker Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) Taylor went from being N/A and dragged for failing to adapt to the streaming era to being the most streamed female artist of all time real quick Edited March 18, 2021 by JawBreaker

If you look at the top 25 lists I posted, they were split into audio, video and total streams. The "total on-demand streams" figures were the combination of both audio+video streams.

The fact that 2019 has the most with 3 in the Top 10... but it also has only 3 in the entire top 25

In 2016, outside the top 10: #14. Ariana Grande - 1.6B #20. Adele - 1.2B #24. Sia - 1.1B In 2017, outside the top 10: #13. Taylor Swift - 2.1B #14. Rihanna - 2.0B #20. Beyoncè - 1.7B In 2018, outside the top 10: #13. Taylor Swift - 2.9B #17. Cardi B - 2.6B In 2019, outside the top 10: 0 women In 2020, outside the top 10: Dozens of female artists since the list runs up to 500 spots.
onewillowsilk Posted March 18, 2021 Author Posted March 18, 2021 If Rihanna, Beyoncè and Adele drop (early enough) this year, they can make the 2021 top 10. Billie should make the top 10 as well since she's dropping an album this year.
Michael196 Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 Taylor #13 in both 17’ & 18’ #8 in 19’ and #5 in 20’ she’ll 100% end up in the top 5 this year too UP.mp3
