Homebrand Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Is this solo songs only or includes songs with features (as a lead)?
Great808 Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Why does Rihanna look like a full on White chick and Beyonce look like Laverne Cox? Everyone knows the streaming aspects can manipulate everything and all these days. Taylor has dropped 10 albums in the streaming era AND has the biggest fanbase of these artists of course she would be extremely high. There’s almost 15 other artists above Gaga yet only 2 of them can outdo her when it comes to selling a tour. Adele is almost out the top 10 yet has albums that have sold copies none of the other girls above her will ever see. Etc

BrandNewBrandon Posted February 18 Posted February 18 48 minutes ago, liquiddiamonds said: yeah, taylor really took over the whole pop market. how the **** is she doing more than the rest of the top 5 combined? Taylor has released 149 songs (not counting remixes and live versions) since Rihanna and Gaga last released a studio album and 100+ since Ariana, Billie and Adele have released any album. Obviously all of the aferomentioned would've had higher streams with successful new releases and especially if there were multiple new albums in that same time span and even though they maybe wouldn't have reached Taylor's numbers, the gap wouldn't have been so big. 2 4 12
BrandNewBrandon Posted February 18 Posted February 18 (edited) @Taylena why are you downvoting a post with actual facts? Taylor has released 100+ original songs (from three studio albums and vault tracks from her re-releases) in the same time span that Rihanna released two and Gaga one. Of course their streams would've been bigger than they are now with multiple new albums. Edited February 18 by BrandNewBrandon 4 1 9

Even if you were to split among 149 songs, it is still a crazy number for daily streams. It averages more than recent #1s in the B100. I completely disagree with this logic that having more songs for fans means this level of streams, otherwise more catalogue acts would be owning spotify records and they don’t. Also it is a bit disingenuous to suggest Ariana or Adele would be doing the same with as many releases based on their current streaming performances… maybe during their peaks, but how much has that Yours Truly re-release done at the end of the day? No shade to Ari 8

No shade to Ari The answer was about the gap and not Taylor's number. Don't you think that had Adele had 10 albums prior to 21 and 25 smashing (and had it been in the streaming era of course) that she'd be doing such numbers as well? Taylor is the first artist that has a massive peak in the streaming era and with sh!tloads of past albums so it's really not comparable. 5 9
TeemoR Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Lana Del Rey is killing it, Dua Lipa and Ariana are struggling. Taylor, no comments.

Didn’t she have the biggest non-Taylor streaming year for a woman in 2023? It’s truly insane how hard her discography is smashing Kinda curious to see how this year goes. Lana (again), Billie, and ~maybe~ Ariana/Bey have a chance at challenging for the biggest non-Taylor female year depending on how their new releases go. 1
istan4badgalriri Posted February 18 Posted February 18 removing features is one thing but deleting their lead songs that have a feature is so stupid… why wouldn’t we count We Found Love, Umbrella for Rihanna or Crazy In Love for Beyoncé 😭 6
UnusualBoy Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Taylor slaying as usual Lana killing it Adele doing great with no music in almost 3 years.

Taylor is the first artist that has a massive peak in the streaming era and with sh!tloads of past albums so it's really not comparable. It depends. Were those albums that the GP connected to massively like all Taylor’s albums since 2006 or just pre-breakthrough releases? Because a lot of the singers in the same list as Taylor has a extensive catalogue, current singles, some even current hits, and it’s just not as well streamed. I understand your point, but volume and current popularity doesn’t explain album cuts like The Way I Loved You nearing 400 million streams and this is one among many cases that happens in her discography. We can argue how the re-recordings have reintroduced her music to audiences, but people drop re-releases all the time and the same effect is just not there. If Adele had more albums with songs averaging the streams of Make You Feel My Love and Hometown Glory you’d have a point, but the problem with these “what if” scenarios is that they go both ways: people could simply pay dust like they do to other people’s catalogues until a viral song brings attention back

Taylor is peaking now with an extensive catalogue (that she also keeps on re-releasing with promotional tools serviced for new studio albums and singles) so it's not the same. Adele is not peaking now. 6

Taylor is peaking now with an extensive catalogue (that she also keeps on re-releasing with promotional tools serviced for new studio albums and singles) so it's not the same. Adele is not peaking now. Exactly why I don’t see the point in discussing these “what if” scenarios. Adele peak HAS happened and she did what she had to and these are her streaming numbers. It makes no sense to project if she would have had a smaller gap with more albums releases because that’s not the career trajectory she chose. Same as Ariana Grande. What I do know is that if they were to re-release their catalogue or drop many albums from now they still wouldn’t close a gap of 83 million to 12, especially when they already have hits in the streaming era. The only three people in the picture that can actually have a shot at are SZA, Olivia and Billie because they have two albums each and a couple of smaller projects so far and are still in their popularity peak 1

PrudenceHCharmed Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Everyone is doing great except Nicki she had released two albums and many droplets in the streaming era, one album just recently and only going 5M+ daily.

That post was a response to a stupid comparison since Gaga is not peaking anymore while Taylor is which explains why one's album can outstream the other one's discography.
