Why does Beyonce have less monthly listeners than Katy?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Spotify monthly listeners [11/16]:

 

Katy Perry - 59,979,390

Beyonce - 55,457,234

 

It's been like this for a while now, even before Katy released 143.

 

Why?

Oh Burn. You do know even on daily Spotify streams and albums Gaga surpasses Beyoncé and so does Katy? :rip:

 

OT: I don't know. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Katy's biggest hits were more recent. Beyoncé has like almost a decade on Katy. And I think it's also worth mentioning Beyoncé has many way more experimental and urban sounding records which don't do as well as Katy's pure bubblegum pop. Besides, Beyoncé even with less streams and monthly listeners has joined a rank Katy will never: LEGEND STATUS and that's because of something called talent.

more classics

 

Well, it's true, like no shade but Katy is a more accessible and more widely used artist.  Plus, she has a song for everything. Acclaim and impact don't translate to more monthly listeners.

To be fair, I feel like Beyonce might have better average streams/song as her listeners consume entire albums which isn't the case with Katy, to put it nicely.

Katy debuted in 2008, she has a generation on Beyonce of listeners, versus CD owners or iTunes buyers. 

 

We own our music, we dont rent on average, some do.

Beyonce hasn't had a hit since Telephone. That's why.

Why not?

 

Regardless of new single performances, more people are listening to Katy Perry than Beyonce in 2024.

Why is anyone mentioning 143? If anything that only decreased Katy's listeners

And this is determined because of Spotify monthly listeners?

It's been more than a decade since Bey stopped chasing charts and quik easy singles, it takes a bit to really appreciate her albums so it makes sense to me she's not a streaming monsters but still a very acclaimed artist.

Posted

more global hits = more playlisting so more listeners

Posted

playlisting and playlisting alone :suburban:

Stream Disease!

Because monthly listeners are a distraction and don't let the music speak for itself.

Monthly Listeners are not important, you have to look at the overall streams and Beyoncé is more streamed than Katy on Spotify, AM and more 

Why Spotify's Monthly Listeners stat is irrelevant

Quote

The query "monthly listeners" spotify, with the double quotes, gives you over 2 million results on Google, the perfect illustration of a statistic that is more and more popular. Yet, it's irrelevant.

No shade but if Katy were "widely used" she wouldn't have become a has been as soon she changed her haircut!? She's obviously has a target audience even tho she had a moment when everyone used her sings... which happened to Beyoncé as well.
