charts discussion Rihanna is #2 on Spotify Monthly Listeners, #1 female. Surprised? Pressed?

[getBusy]

Is this the average boost all artists get after the superbowl? Discuss. 

[Cheers]

I can predict the replies from the haters already

No. her super bowl did a great job on making people focus on the music and her catalog got a deserved boost. she was my #2 most streamed artist in february. 

[rihannaswag]

Legend

[aesthetic bih]

She was the original streaming elixir. Superbowl only boosted that

[Squall]

This stat is quite random as explained by MJD though

[CristianGarcia]

Should we expect less from a legend?

 

 

[Deemy]

No new music mind you. This is crazy.  The career ending performance did that. 

[David Smith2]

Iconic 

[Rihannito]

No album since 2016, no spamming, just a discography full of CLASSICS, some girlies can’t relate

This is amazing considering how long it been since she released an album

Okay. 

 

OT: a streaming supreme stomping on everyone. No large fanbases or yearly album releases needed, just classics and love from the GP

The way she could've broken every monthly listener record if she dropped an album after the Super Bowl.

 

Rihanna's success has always been effortless. Even if a lot of people were disappointed about her performance, she's still winning in the end.  

[Trent W]

Is quite impressive how she was the biggest digital seller then moved to be the most streamed female.

 

The most shocking part is that she has been absent 90% of the streaming era.

[PoisonedIvy]

Splendid  

[MardinBeksloy]

By this logistic the weekend is the most listened male artists when in fact it’s Bad Bunny

 

this stat is highly inflated by payola and playlisting

[RihannaLoverrr]

The original streaming Queen

[FunCoric]

that is not true lol. taylor has more streams daily by far

[West Coast]

not the GP rewarding her for not dropping music

What is this nonsense?

 

How is the monthly listener count payola'd and playlist-related?

 

I mean... you guys need to be creative when it comed to dissing Rih's numbers... but c'mon... at least make some sense

[abelfenty]

She could’ve probably crossed 100M with an album release 

[Zaram]

Imagine if she continued to release 

 

She would fight with the men for the top position.

Rihanna has dozens of hits across multiple genres which is why you'll find her in almost every playlist.

 

Her playlisting reach has remained almost stagnant pre and post Superbowl. People chose to listen to her music after the Superbowl as proven by multiple songs in the Global 200 of Spotify. The "payola" accusations are very lame.

Monthly listeners do not =/= daily streams. Monthly listeners gets heavily impacted by singles on playlists, since you’re reaching a larger *quantity* of people, but you might not necessarily be pulling in the highest quantity of streams. Just like they mentioned, The Weeknd has the most monthly listeners but Bad Bunny gets the most daily & monthly streams by far. Same with Taylor vs Rih rn. Not that it’s a non-significant accomplishment, both are impressive for different reasons.

 

**not endorsing the payola part of their post, just the playlisting part**
