No women, I know But that's why I also posted the top 25 list, so you could see the rest of the people who made it as one of the top 25 most streamed artists of every respective year.

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.

onewillowsilk Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
