These are the ten most streamed women (solo female artists and all-female groups) across multiple streaming platforms. At the moment, only Spotify and YouTube are fully transparent with this data and have third party infrastructure in place to readily search and rank it, but this will be expanded should other platforms' data become available or more easily searchable. (For example, you can find Pandora cumulative streaming data on Chartmetric, and YouTube Music shares streams for an artists's albums and Top 150 songs — the issue here is the former is impossible to completely rank and the latter is an incomplete data set without impossibly laborious manual calculations.)

 

I will do my best to update this post on the first of each month to catalog how these rankings changes over time. Spotify is broken down between all credits, lead credits, and solo credits. YouTube is broken down between plays listed on each artist's channel and Kworb's Most Viewed Artists ranking — this distinction is made because Kworb's list often includes views from videos not on artists's channels (such as those where the artist in question is a feature).

Adele with only 4 albums

Streaming poison Lady GaGa 

Beyoncé being there with an almost 30yr career
