charts discussion Rihanna becomes first woman to cross 30B streams on Spotify + YT, How?

[RihFenty20]

 

 

Rihanna has become the first woman to garner 30B on both Spotify and YouTube among all credits. She Joins a host of men who have done the same. I was told by ATRL that only 1 woman can compete with men and that woman wasn't Rihanna. Was ATRL lying? Discuss

Congrats to Rihanna, she’s always led the pack when it comes to streaming.  

 

To answer your shade in the OP though, this list includes features, which is why Nicki will be the second woman to reach this milestone on both platforms, then it’s a toss up between Taylor and Ari.

I need proof 

[The Music Industry]

How? Features of course Nicki next 

[Both Sides Now]

Where’s the proof? I assume this includes features but it still seems inflated.

Fake stats? 

Riri has 20.375 billion views on her YouTube channel. 

On spotify she has 21 billion. 

There is no such thing like all credits.

Ariana: 20B YouTube, 32B Spotify

Taylor: 24B YouTube, 33B Spotify

For her YT features,

 

Love the Way You Lie has 2.5B views.

The monster has 850M. 
Take Care has 400M
Live Your Life has 250M.

Wild Thoughts has 1B.

Cant Remember to Forget You has 1.2B

This is What You Came For has 2.5B views also. 

 

So this is an additional ~ 8.7B from her biggest collaborations. Which gets her to like 26.7 B on YouTube. Idk if she has other features big enough to get her the extra 3.3B. I could be missing something. 
 

But I also wouldn’t be surprised if it was true, Rih has a lot of huge hits of her own and a lot of features that were huge hits.

If one includes Rihanna's myriad of features that don't count for any official sales tally and upon which she has zero writing or production credits, then yes she is. Luckily for us, the only people that use all-credit stats are desperate Barbs looking for recognition, I guess we can add desperate Navy to that list as well.

Rihanna is a feature darling. and Her features usually don't do moderately well. They STOMP. I have no time to go through all the numbers but LTWYL (2.6B), TM (850M), WT (1B), CRTFY (1B), TIWYFC (2.5B). That's 8B from just 5 songs. You guys criminally underestimate her and her hitmaking power

If that's the case then a bunch of these men don't belong on this list. However, just because you wish it to be untrue, doesn't make it so. SEETHE.

Oh look, a desperate barb that usually has industry info using all credits

I just corrected your lies, nothing else. and who told these lists are some kind ofofficial lists? Just a random twitter account writing BS. 

You can check views on youtube channel and spotify numbers under chartmasters tool.

I just summed the videos on her Kworb and it comes to 28.9B. Not sure about Spotify  

 

She seems to be the closest to this random accolade though because YouTube has died for Western artists so it will take Taylor/Ariana years to catch up to Rih on that platform

Kworb doesn't account for the YouTube Music audio version of the songs, such as this one

which has over 100M views

again, just because you wish it do be true, doesn't make it so. Chartdata provides reliable industry info and also uses all credits. (this is from April, used it to prove my point).

Sweetie, even spotify doesn't count all credits. You can check their daily global artist chart and it's based on lead credits only.

I mean I'm not going to argue about it.  Yes, I know Spotify only considers songs that are present on the artists page as does YouTube, but these songs are still the apart of her catalog. And it's not like I made the OP with the intention to deceive and present it as lead streams. I fully expressed that this was all credits (aka her entire catalog, including features) So I don't know why you're in here derailing and fuming about it.

She has counting all the songs she has made an appearance on, and is credited for, which was stated in the OP. I don't know why that other guy came in to derail the thread. He could've just said congrats and moved on.

Billboard does, though.

 

And for Spotify, Selena Gomez is credited as a lead artist for one verse on Taki Taki while Rihanna is credited as a featured artist on Who’s That Chick & Wild Thoughts - even though she sings the whole song, or all except one verse. So we might as well go with all credits.

Wait how many streams does Nicki have on Spotify? I thought she only had like 15B so it’s gonna take her a while to do it

its probably gonna be Tay (specially with more mvs coming soon), then Ariana in a few years, and after that Nicki

 

OT: the OG queen of streaming

I’ll never understand the obsession with not wanting to count features on these lists, specially in Rihanna’s case cause she MADE those features a HIT
