can someone kindly explain to me why this metric is not relevant?

So The Weeknd has been consistently #1 or 2 in unique monthly listeners for awhile, but he hasn't really been a mainstay in the top streamed artists of the day, week, or month thus far into the year. Those unique monthly listeners could just be a song that was played via a playlist or from autoplay/smart shuffle, meaning not -every- unique listener is actively returning to that artists' catalogue to listen to their discography at will. 
 

The more meaningful measurement is the daily/weekly/monthly stream counts that actually show what people are listening to and how that tracks over time. You get a better reading of how interested people are in checking out an artists' catalogue -after- the initial exposure of a playlist or autoplayola. Monthly listeners aren't 100% irrelevant but they're really not that meaningful to even care about artists ranks. Most general listeners see those numbers and think it lists the order of most "popular" artists by stream count but that's untrue unfortunately

thank you sis

To be an irrelevant or not important metric, some of you seem to really care about it, just look at the last page…

[byzantium]

Wow, so impressive to beat THE Billie Eillish! 

[massenlight]

That's what happens when you write about breakfasts!

Everyone say that you to SMASHage in a Bottle

Can we stop with this kind of thread, they will flip flop the position on the daily

There is also a huge factor that is collabing with different artists

 

The Weeknd for example gets/got really helped by having collabs with JENNIE & Bad Bunny, artists that have a big public that is very different public than the average Abel stan

[Devin]

this metric is irrelevant but go off.

[Into The Void]

Shocking the most streamed female of all time is #1.

 

I'm shook

I think the metric still has a little bit of value, in the sense that it shows the reach of these artist (that can be influenced by many things like a hit song, playlisting, featurings, etc... but that still shows the exposure of an artist). In itself, that is not useless, but not that relevant either. 

 

However, I think it's interesting to put it in relation to the streams generated by the artist, because it gives a fuller picture. Ok, there are 100M people listening at least 1 song with you on it each month, but are these listeners invested/interested with you as an artist? For example, if we take just the example of The Weekend and Taylor who are #1 and #2 respectively, it shows that despite The Weekend reaching more people, Taylor has more invested listeners. 

 

But that's pretty much the extent of the relevance of this metric. It's not really interesting by itself, but can give an interesting information when paired with the actual relevant Spotify metric.

Can you not understand that having more songs increases the likelihood of people checking out at least one of those songs? I understand how the chart works perfectly well, you are the one who seems to be lost here 

People who don't listen her most popular songs like Cruel Summer, Anti Hero or Fortnight are not checking irrelevant album tracks like Robin or Glitch either

Yeah. The eyelashes have been tracking this metric for like weeks now it's embarrassing.

All of this for another #2 that lasted for like a day? Damn they are desperate.

You guys keep on using arguments that apply to both of them  If you want to ignore album tracks, Taylor still has more singles and naturally more hits

Taylor still has more singles cause she's been on the game since 2006 let's check other artists that debuted in 2006 and their monthly listeners
 

#2 Taylor Swift - 97.87M

#277 DJ Khaled - 22.84M

#347 Jonas Brothers - 20.33M

#NA Beach House - 12.79M

#NA Eric Church - 11.01M

#NA Gnarls Barkley - 8.07M

#NA Lily Allen - 8.03M

#NA St. Vincent - 4.34M

#NA Daughtry - 3.74M

#NA Fleet Foxes - 3.72M

#NA Caribou - 1.83M

#NA Flying Lotus - 1.07M

#NA Pretty Lights - 0.68M

#NA The Horrors - 0.22M

 

So weird to see so many of these artists not having bigger numbers considering they have had so many singles released 

[Smarticle]

Can't wait for Billie to snatch it back

So you agree Taylor has more hits and is therefore… more streamed  So what exactly is the problem here then?

Congrats to Taylor. The swifties can sleep again.

Billie Eilish - 22 years old barely 3 albums in. Still proving herself in the industry so fans like to celebrate new accomplishments.

 

 

Taylor Swift - 34 years old. 14 albums. Been in industry almost 2 decades. Has had monumental success, countless awards, Grammys, high grossing tour ever, etc. Yet her fans AND her still obnoxiously petty while being obsessed with every single chart and accomplishment. Even tracking EVERY song's DAILY streams on this forum   

 

Im not sure how you got Billie's fans being an embarrassment here but im never surprised.

It's embarrassment when you had to bring out their whole careers to compare for a #2 spot on a khia metric, but then again I'm afraid you would never get it . Do I make myself clear, dear?

Swifties having threads prepped for Taylor surpassing Billie in a metric they called useless and irrelevant yesterday is the embarrassment girlie. No changing that fact

Oh really? And how exactly did you know that? Stalking us as usual lol?

[SharGaga]

Taylor haters are SO embarrassing celebrating a 15K lead in monthly listeners. Only for it to last a day only.
