The fact that Rihanna is #3 and she hasn't released an album since 2016

Dua #6 in her flop era, giving the girls above their 5 minutes 

[ThomasTea]

Yes Katy, yes success.

Sza has a lot of monthly listeners for a so called "twitter vibes" artist 

[Aramis]

So basically a bunch of spammers and then the lazy trinity of Rihanna, Katy and Gaga

[istan4badgalriri]

[DevilsRollTheDice]

Yes, Taylor, yes number 1, but I still can't figure out why people care about this stat vs actual streams

Listening to Chandelier on an easy listening playlist.

[M!X]

we need to NOT stream Rihanna so she can release an album, Navy unite #boycootfentyproducts

 

 

like her team sees this and they are like what's the point in new music when she is slaying just as much without it

[BGKC]

The fact that Rihanna would be the most followed artist if she was consistently releasing music 

[Kiss It Better]

Rihanna hasn't released an album since iPhone still had headphone jack 

[Theluckyone]

Rih…………  what would've could've should've 

[laqqinq]

Very impressive for Rihanna (and Gaga and Katy too, to an extent, tbh/tbr). But I think it only really applies to her regarding the album thing. Some of the artists mentioned may have had their last album come out a year or two years ago, but the numbers are also because of things like new hit singles, post-album singles, high playlisting, etc. So like, ofc they are releasing music atm or the music they released a year/2/4 ago is still doing well, effecting in such numbers.

 

Good to see this for all of them, btw!

Rih and Gaga 

[UnusualBoy]

Rihanna with no album in almost 10 years
