Artists with the highest average of streams x song

[joanabt]

Basically this shows which artists have the most streams with less songs. I divided the total streams by the total songs of the artist on Spotify to know the average of streams x song. This was the result: 

1	Harry Styles	404
2	Billie Eilish	396
3	Post Malone	319
4	Bad Bunny	311
5	Lil Nas X	275
6	Olivia Rodrigo	271
7	Bruno Mars	247
8	Adele	225
9	The Weeknd	207
10	Juice WRLD	205

Just thought this was cool information   and also wanted to show the streaming force that Harry Styles is, he has the highest average of streams x song because he has multiple hits without a lot of songs released, and because people listen to his albums as a whole. 

 

Also, Ariana is 14 with 189M and Taylor is 31st with 117. They both would be much higher if only the album tracks were counted but i've just let chartmasters do the work for me.

Also, Billie is really impressive too. Considering she's released 3 albums and HTE wasn't as big as her previous album and it could've dragged her down the list, but  WWAFAWDWG is just too big!

Wonder how long it will take for the Olivia Rodrigo's stans to come here and say her 50 soundtracks singles shouldn't count because blah blah blah

This is not really a good metric. This phases out older artists while benefitting younger acts.

Well a streaming stat would generally be overrepresented by streaming era artists, yeah

[HausOfPunk]

Wouldn't this favor one hit wonders? If I had one song with 1 B streams wouldn't I be at the top of the list?

[Taylena]

Taylor has a ton of crap on her Spotify page that aren't even songs. It adds more than 100 tracks which brings her average down when it should be around 200M.

So you counted also features? or just solo?

it could but it doesn’t really, even if an artist got one really big hit, usually they have other songs that balance it out and the average turns out quite poor. i think this benefits artists like Billie, Harry and Olivia who goy really big hits but whose discography is also strong overall.

this is also true. this tool is more useful to analyse the impact of artists with fewer releases which got a strong impact. pf course, i took the data from chartmasters. if we calculatef Taylor’s average only with her album tracks, it would be much higher. Same thing happens with Dua Lipa and even Ari with some remixes and “k, bye for now”

i basically took the info from the most streamed artists chart in Chartmasters, and counted all tracks. remixes and live recordings affect negatively a lot of artists here

one hit wonders usually have just one hit but still release tons of music hoping that something can catch on again

[Icarus]

Camila would be 195M  almost Top 10

But they still haven't updated Bruno's numbers, he's at 19B streams when he has already surpassed that. Right now he's at 24B with 80 tracks, so he should be above both of Olivia & Lil Nas whose numbers I believe are already updated. He has an average of 300m per track.

Harry 

[PopFan1996]

Adele 

Her streams are so impressive. If she was active during the streaming era, she would be untouchable

it’s possible! chartmasters is not immaculate. if that’s the case, you can try to put in contact w them so they update
