So what are some examples of quality female music that would be worthy of charting then?

 

There isn't really anything spectacular about the Spotify Top 10 or the current Hot 100.

Most Girls, Crying In The Club, Your Song, Now or Never are pretty good too. Rarely strange to me that nothing female led is doing well right now. I like so much new female music right now

You can't deny the fact that more males are into streaming so they are propelling  urban music

I think toxic masculinity is kinda to blame. Women can listen to male and female issues without an issue but men "can't" really listen to female musicians without feeling like they're being emasculated. Straight men are weird.

 

Urban music is dominating right now. Having grown up around such an environment, I'll say it really is part of the problem cause the audiences that predominantly stream urban music do have hyper-masculine issues. It's a deep-rooted issue into the culture. It'll be a while before the tide turns again. It won't go the other way as easily like a lot of people are expecting or hoping. 

 

Hip-hop/rap/trap has pretty much always been popular. Their demographics have always pirated the music though. With them now streaming, we're seeing just how big it is. It's crazy. 

[bjnono001]

It's weird because we had "Dark Horse", "Fancy" and "All About That Bass" dominate streaming back in 2014, and more recently "Hello" and "Work", so I don't know what changed with streaming.

Well, it's certainly plausible that the first cohort to embrace streaming was not representative of the general public with regards to their taste. More specifically, perhaps there were a disproportionate amount of pop listeners among the early adopters of streaming services. While this is a distinct possibility, I don't have a hypothesis as to why this might be. I wish we could access the demographics of those who began to stream in 2013/2014 and compare them to the demographics of those who began to stream last year or this year.

@Hector unfortunately their tables don't copy and paste well into here, so I would recommend just doing this for their charts:

 

Looks like they made a slight mistake on I'm The One.

Keep an eye on Playboi Carti's "Magnolia." Just cracked the SoundCloud top 5, leapfrogging "wokeuplikethis*" in the process. #126 (+13) for a new peak today on Spotify.

SoundCloud success again a good predictor of Spotify success (as it was with XO TOUR Llif3)

Tough to tell, as it's way past its peak on radio. But it's really been hanging in there on Spotify. Pretty impressive.

Nah it increased by 15,641,585% to get to 0 streams. 

[FanOfPop]

"Believer"'s jumps on Spotify these last few days are really impressive. 

[Blue Rose]

Apple Music:

Wild Thoughts #8 overall 

Despacito still #1

Attention by Charlie Puth still climbing. 

Believer #13 (Non Urban tracks)

Lorde's highest song is Sober at #112 but has 7 songs charting in the top200. She's doing less than Harry Styles on Apple Music. Homemade Dynamite and The Louvre lead the non singles songs. Underwhelming album performance tbh.

2 Chainz is slaying this Urban centric chart with his new album.
