Yeah he's definitely ending the year as the most-streamed artist in the US. He's held that title every year from 2015-2021 with the exception of 2019 when he was a close-second to Post Malone. 

[Gerardo]

Youngboy is one of the most local artists ever

I like his new album, nothing pretentious or entitled.

He streams really well, mostly because of his massive discography. He has already released 2 albums this year and has another dropping in August.

Yeah, he doesn't have any bonafide chart hits to his name so it's not surprising you're not familiar with his music. I really only know of his stuff because I'm a fan of rap music but I don't actively check for his music.

I think those %'s are the wrong way around. Anyways, Taylor killing it 

[SwiftLover]

Not Taylor being global and slaying the US market. Local to Earth
Now announce those tour dates, sweetie 

we wanna hear these songs live 

[JawBreaker]

Taylor the only 1 to not release an album

Well, one was a "mixtape" but yeah, he'll be dropping 3 full-length projects this year.
