Kinda interesting imo that so many of this list have been huge for 10+ years. Wonder if its a product of the internet making it so people are more able to find a specific niche they like so new megastars are just harder to make, thus the megastars just before streaming was standard have gotten to just stick around
Lady gaga the only good one on this list
That means that the average human has streamed 20 songs (obviously not actually, because of repeats). Damn.
Surprising that #5-10 are so close
Data is beautiful is a bit of a stretch. It’s an Excel bar graph
This is the first time I’ve ever even seen or heard the name Karol G
Nicki Minaj getting more streams than Lady Gaga is a shock!
As someone who grew up in the 90s, this is a disgrace.
Damn, surprisingly big Colombian representation here, let’s go!
I can proudly say I’ve contributed significantly to Shakira’s bar.
