Axelios Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 How is most monthly listeners on Spotify = most popular artist in the world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airplane Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 He only got those monthly listeners thanks to autoplay. That horrendous remix terrorised my spotify and there was no way to stop it. Did they mention this in the “statistics” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sscorpionn Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Monthly listeners are all about playlisting so it’s kind of a useless statistic. He’s definitely the most popular male artist rn though. I would say Taylor is right now and before that it was Adele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bad Wolf Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 It’s deserved I think. But the Die For You remix with Ariana was a disappointment, and made me like the song less, when DFY was my favorite on Starboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclefloprry Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 of course, the stans of certain local acts started fuming, as if we didn't know that Blinding Lights is bigger than their entire career. anyways, king we know it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent W Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) It’s either him or Taylor But honestly I think blinding lights was so so big the last few years globally that he has definitely reached more people.

pride4jc1222 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 35 minutes ago, Distantconstellation said: The most playlist payolad artist in the world too That would be Sabrina Carpenter, whose payola was good enough to milk out a half-hit. Abel scored 2 Top 3 hits (including a #1) with a 6-year-old song and a cover of a 2004 song. His success is legitimate, and not a result of payola.

Pop Tartlet Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Do Spotify Monthly Listeners only count for lead and co-leads, or also if an artist features on a song ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a cute statistic, but it doesn't say that much about an artist's true popularity. All you need is a hit song, heavy playlisting or a big event to rack up monthly listeners. I do think that a stable amount of monthly listeners is reflective of a strong popularity though. Edited March 20, 2023 by Klein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
