Most streamed hip hop albums of all time on Spotify:

[Mastamimd]

Streams matter brehs

 

[THE 101]

Thot hop
Emo shyt
Cac rap



Streaming era will go down as the WOAT

You expecting a Jeru the Damaja album to be on there?

 

[bigmac]

Shoot for the Stars still doing the numbers its doing is crazy to me.

Same, seems strange

Views is the sleeper here tho, that dropped in 2016 which was kinda before the streaming era was really in full flow. Kinda crazy

it is surprising though Views has some of his most popular singles. What’s clear to me is Drake is the most popular artist on the planet pound for pound. Other folks bounce around the top charts but Drake’s monthly plays have been >50 million for 5 straight years. There’s really no debating it at this point. He’s already well on his way to being the voice of two generations when it’s said & done.

Well he certainly won’t be the Pen of them

 

[prophecypro]

makes sense

The streaming era is weird... I feel like most of these albums "sales" are driven by one or two songs on the albums getting streamed like crazy.

This definitely isn't a reflection of the quality of music because most of these albums aren't even really good outside of Astroworld and Damn

And we know Drake is Drake, but quality wise Scorpion and Views are probably towards the bottom of his catalog

Pop Smoke and Cardis albums are classics and I’d argue those X albums are pretty good too.

the only truly whack album on that list is Views

[Metal Face]

All pop rap
what a surprise

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Looks about right I guess.


Views sold a Million first week mostly based on streams.


Scorpion had monster singles.


Damn was Kendrick’s most accessible album and Humble and Loyalty were HUGE singles for him.




I never got the hype for XXTencion and Juice World dudes but I guess the youngins love them for some reason. My younger cousin told me kids see XXTencion as their generation’s Tupac. Not for me to understand I guess.

gang checking in

“extensions” is far from my favorite rapper/singer but I checked out some of his music on some curious shyt and he got a few that I messed with




I don’t know about that new Tupac stuff but I can see why kids messed with him. It’s definitely not music that I’d put in my regular rotation but I’d probably listen if these songs came up in a playlist

 

[King]

Drake ran summer 2018

 

[bigmac]

Drake ran summer 2018

Son was #1 in Billboard for 30 of the 52 weeks. One of those statistics which is unfathomable when you take it in. The deepest of haters can’t front on that one. Monstrous year

 

[Low End Derrick]

You expecting a Jeru the Damaja album to be on there?

No, but i was hoping more backpack/blog-era style rappers would be bigger, post 2015.

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]
