Forever Winter Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Taylor is obviously not going to be matched anytime soon. But Rihanna has not released an album since 2016 and is pulling better numbers than most of the current it-girls today. And Lana being one of the most streamed women of all time without having huge hits to her name is insane, she's been consistently in the top 3-4 daily streamed female artists. Aside from Taylor Swift, do Rihanna and Lana Del Rey the most impressive MPG streams out of the older pop girls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punisher Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 SZA does tbh, especially since she does it with only 2 albums imagine if she had 9 like lana and rihanna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussianRoulette Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Ahhh my faves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makeme Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Yep you pretty much named the trinity. But I would also note that Olivia and SZA have great recurrent streams for their albums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feanor Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Ariana does tbh, since she's actually the 2nd most streamed female artist (and yes, I'd also consider her an "older" pop girl as her debut came only a year after 'Born To Die'). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev8 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Rihanna has been the First one to have impressive streaming numbers tho We have been talking about her being top 5 women Every Year, in the most streamed females despite not releasing anything since 2016 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superben Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Yes, both are super impressive. Rihanna without new music in 8 years and Lana with an 13 years old album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirrtydiana Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Ariana's monster streams are right there sweetie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonnie Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 They're not the only ones, but yes Taylor, Rih and Lana have emerged as the biggest mainstream female artists on streaming who emerged before the streaming era. I don't know where to place Ariana and SZA in terms of timelines but they're obviously massive too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laqqinq Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 I think in terms of streams (overall, records, etc.), its: Taylor Ariana Rihanna SZA Lana But daily streams, it may be Taylor, SZA, then Ariana, Rihanna/Lana, or something like that. I think Ariana has monstrous streaming numbers, like 2nd most-streamed woman on Spotify and was the most-streamed female artist across all platforms until Taylor became in 2022 (so she's basically #2 or #3 rn). But some of her older songs have aged like milk, in terms of streaming, on Spotify. Or maybe her older albums are doing decent numbers I think, like by MPG standards. Like her current music is doing very well so I think generally all of them would get huge streaming boosts from touring and things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phaunzie Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Taylor, Ariana and Riri are pretty great as the Main Pop Girl trinity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirrtydiana Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Dua has not one but the 2 most streams albums of all time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnusualBoy Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Yes. Rihanna's are amazing considering she hasn't released in ages and Lana's music isn't really commercial. Some of the others either release more often or their music is basically TT oriented and cater to get quick hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sex with Rih Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Yes. It's Taylor>>Rih/Lana Before Eternal sunshine, Ariana was receiving less daily streams than Rih despite having 4 albums(now 5) since Rihannas last one. Rihanna was also the most streamed female for like 6/7 years before she retired. She was the original streaming queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor fanboy Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 SZA, Billie and Olivia have great streaming presence as well in addition to the artists mentioned by OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoseBud Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Olivia has SOUR but just not enough songs to really compete.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy V.! Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Rihanna might be closer to Taylor than we think, YouTube was the main streaming platform during her active years and she ate everyone up over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
