artist stats Spotify: Top 10 Most streamed female albums of each year [11/06]

[ariananext]

Spoiler

I already had a thread like this which included albums from 90s/00s, but I can't keep up with it because numbers aren't available for me to find them online, I had to calculate them from Spotify everytime I updated the thread and I can not do it anymore due to my schedule being much busier now, which lead to the thread being left in the dust. Since this is much easier for me to update, I decided to only include albums from the 2010s and the 2020s, if anyone wants to take over the 00s part I will give them the Top 10 from a couple of months ago, which - I assume - hasn't changed much.

Wait, I had no idea Pure Heroin was that massive on streaming. And Melodrama did very well too. 

[getinthezone]

Doesn’t chartmasters do this?

[moonlitdick]

My favs Rihanna, Ariana & Doja with the consistency  Positions should be #2 for 2020 soon right? @ariananext

Yes, but for the 00s they miss a lot of albums, that's why I had to calculate them myself.

Absolutely, out of those 3,4B, 2,5B are from Dance Monkey, the album has 2 tracks in the 250-350M range and the rest come from the other 17 tracks (which have terrible streams). 

[Diocles]

Gaga with 5 entries

 

Queen of both digital and streaming era

Oh so maybe gayle will be top 5 with abc alone  

[Souvenir]

even tho selena's numbers arent that impressive, its shocking that she charted for a decade and still going  

[UnusualBoy]

I'm always amazed by 21 and its streams, they're insane if you take into consideration how much the album actually sold and on top of having 3 singles that sold a lot, what an era

 

25 doing well as well, especially when it wasn't on streaming for like 8-9 months.

[Perfect Crime]

HTE top 5 by a strong margin  

[swissman]

Beyoncé's Lemonade being in the Top Ten despite it not being available for its first three years (half of the time its been out) and still being not far behind those placing #7-9 !!

[MALAMENTE]

Selena and Taylor

[Russell22]

Taylor's consistency 

[Delirious]

Not at Lights making it at #6 what the actual f???

[Delirious]

Ellie at #11 in 2020 with Brightest Blue at 1,617,410,640 streams

[dreampop]

4 being @ number 2 for 2011 

[Scabandplaster]

Marina's longevity is so impressive. 

[JC96]

4 at #2 from 2011 

 

Melanie at #2 from 2015 

 

1989 almost 4 billion despite being available 3 years after release 

[Luckitty]

SOUR is gonna reach 7B in 2 months or less 

 

Cry Baby is a classic 

 

"Speak Your Mind" is such a lame album title 

[RihFenty20]

Rihanna appears 4/4 times with a top 3 placement and a top 2 placement 3/4 times. Not bad for a singles artiste 

[winebaldo]

Isn't Hasley no binary?

I'm having trouble keeping up, but I believe that Halsey accepts she/they so she should be included here.

https://www.billboard.com/culture/pride/halsey-explains-change-pronouns-9544728/

 

Just don't disrespect their pronouns and we should be fine.

 

From my understanding Demi has now updated their social media to accommodate they/them/she/her so we can include Demi's albums too.
