[Josh]

"...Ready For It?" has now surpassed 500 MILLION streams on Spotify! —Taylor Swift now surpasses Rihanna as the female artist with the MOST songs above 500M on Spotify (25). —Taylor Swift is now the Top Female Artist with the most songs over: 100M, 200M, 300M, 400M, 500M

 

 

[Johnny Jacobs]

Considering she has 12 albums and rihanna only releasing one album in the streaming era compared to Taylor's 7...

 

It's a cute moment tho good for her.

 

Now i need her go serve another willow

[Cain]

And Rih has the most songs with 1B+

[mael]

And She will widen the gap with another 10 songs over 500 mill by years end.

[sasashite]

Next year she's surpassing with most songs above 1B. 

[Klein]

Most 600M songs next, then 700M, then 800M etc... 

 

The perks of having your entire discography consumed is that while you don't get high individual stats right away, you'll always win the long game. 

[Zaram]

She only needed to release ~8 albums in the past 4 years to achieve this 

[Inhwan]

Even if other artists release 10 albums, they will all fail. Simply they r not popular as Taylor.

You realize that releasing TVs makes it more difficult to achieve this stat... right?

I see where you're going but it actually makes it easier - not shading Taylor or Swifties but releasing duplicates makes it easier.. similar to how artist release remixes. You're gaining exposure for new fans plus your original fans will listen to see the difference.

 

Listen, Taylor is the only one of the MPG that genuinely loves music and the numbers are reflecting that. She's enjoying what she's doing and reaping the benefits. If anything Rihanna and Taylor made the formula very clear for everyone else. Keep people interested by switching it up, tell a story and make people want more. When you genuinely change your sound and stand behind it, you can find success. You see this with Star is Born and Gaga and even Katy Perry with Feels. Success isn't something only Taylor or Rihanna have access to but they're the ones to take risk and stand behind it.

[Blackout2006]

They really do have a record for almost everything nowadays, huh?

Congrats to Tay, anyway

But it divides the streams into two "different" songs. Therefore making it harder for both to reach these kind of threshold (500M-600M-etc...). If both versions were combined in these kind of stats then of course it would help a lot, but since they are counted separately...

That's not true at all. The TV releases  compeletely hurt the daily streams of the original tracks which were already hurt by Taylor leaving Spotify when she was huge on the platform.

The only and real QUEEN of Spotify.

Yeah in time (aka in the next 1-2 years or so), she'll basically hold the record for all thresholds from 100M to 1B, among female artists at the very least.

Having most of your discography listened to >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> having a few more songs with 1B. And many Taylor songs will reach 1B by next year, she's probably surpass Rihanna in that regard in less than a year actually.

Yes but we're talking about Rihanna here. She managed to have 25 songs above 500M despite releasing only 1 album in the streaming era. Had she released 10, this thread wouldn't even exist!!!

[naval23]

Rihanna doing it with 8 albums and 1 in the streaming era only
