Sure! Here's the Top 20 even. (Note that some of these numbers are a few days old cuz that's when they were last updated on Chartmasters, but the positions wouldn't be affected by that.) 

 

1. Taylor Swift: 38,747,662,369

2. Ariana Grande: 33,973,748,047

3. Billie Eilish: 25,172,399,023

4. Dua Lipa: 23,515,032,995

5. Rihanna: 22,058,531,734

6. Beyoncé: 16,721,594,696

7. Lady Gaga: 15,905,448,632

8. Nicki Minaj: 15,508,267,924

9. Adele: 15,272,190,842

15. Doja Cat: 12,509,842,679
16. Camila Cabello: 12,327,799,154
17. KAROL G: 12,227,597,235
18. Shakira: 11,146,583,114
19. Demi Lovato: 11,063,308,345
20. Miley Cyrus: 10,471,352,600

 

Only the "&"/"with" are lead credits, but sometimes a song that is labeled as "ft." makes it's way onto the featured artist's main page as if it were a co-lead. I have no idea why/how that happens, but occasionally it does.

Rihanna's at 23,43B but ChartMasters doesn't count "This Is What You Came For" in her total for some reason - even though it got added to her page last summer 

[Armani?]

Not yall asking for Janet's position 

 

Just now seeing that

[Feanor]

Taylor at #1 with an almost 5 billion lead over #2 and 15 billion over her closest age peers

Let's look at age a bit.

 

Oldest artist in Top 10: Beyoncé, 41

Oldest artist in Top 40: Shakira, 43

Oldest artist in Top 50: Madonna, 64

 

Youngest artist in Top 20: Billie Eilish, 21

Youngest artist in Top 50: Olivia Rodrigo, 19

 

 

Average age in Top 10: 29.9

[swissman]

Janet absolutely deserves more and this is why streaming CANNOT be THE indicator of an artist's legacy, success, or career. Of course, how well the public knows you NOW can determine how successful of a career you might've had, but this is still a skewed viewpoint that puts name recognition post-peak above actual accomplishment. We really must look more at the numbers of the artist's actual heyday to ascertain their pop-worth.

 

It shouldn't shock anyone who knows about 2004 that Janet's numbers are so low. Especially since streaming is such a youth-dominated stat, how can we logically expect that those in their early 20s or teens who were born AFTER Janet was blacklisted and never returned to her position to understand and stream her.

You were told that by your fellow Aguilerators

No, babe i have seen Britney Stans place her next to women listed which is delusional especially with streaming

You are the one dedicating your account, avatar and several posts in this thread to Britney Spears

Likewise, friend. You’re known here for being obsessed with Aguilera.

“My fave” hmm never said this. Looks like you’re so obsessed with Aguilera you place her in sentences & statements that were never said. I simply said she would fall! 

[xfreshkidxx]

Summer 

Its unfortunate that Janet isnt here. 

[Godly]

Might as well consider Selena a 10s girlie if you're not gonna count her pre-2013 stuff, which would be enough to put her at #7 

 

Also I don't know about "overall" since most of them have songs they're featured on that are not added to their Spotify pages for arbitrary reasons, while still being part of their discographies

[sunmimi imfurst]

Twice 

Kylie really is missing those American streams huh 

[besaid]

Wow Britney is so far down the list. Didn't even crack the top 30 with Little Mix ahead of her 

[Blankspace2010]

Avril #48  Ahead of peers Xtina and Kelly. 

[Blankspace2010]

49. Christina Ft. Maroon 5 and a Great Big World. 
 

A great combo!
 

What’s Christina’s position without a 15 second cameo and backing vocals?

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure it doesn't include Moves Like Jagger.

 

She'd be around #61 without Say Something though.

#100 has 2.186B streams — Kate has 1.575B.

 

Enya: 2.45B

Annie: 2.186B

 

Kylie: 1.91B

Cyndi: 1.77B

Janet: < 1.411B (she's not in the Top 1000 Artists and that's what #1000 is at)

Did you combine Annie  solo & eurythmics?

#61? Surprised she’s that high solo!

Why would anyone remove her "backing vocals" when they helped her win her fifth GRAMMY and made the song a hit. Avril has never (and will never) do that.

 

Xtina is still in Top 50 and you'll just have to deal with it. 

[1989]

Taylor is truly on another level.

Yep. Pretty much this. She's not top 100 but there are multiple girls on the list who are obviously influeced by her and/or result of her impact.

It's okay. She's still getting her flowers and will be able to tour for the rest of her life. One more album with a good reception would be a nice victory lap

[eli's_rhythm]

Also, Shania, Alanis, Kylie, Paula, Sade, Donna, Diana, Barbra etc. aren't here either. Janet is obviously not on even keel with most of them as far as her career trajectory, but there are very few peers of hers who made the list - only the very biggest female artists of all time (the big 4), plus somehow Enya and Annie.
