Is it fair to say that Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift etc. are queens of streams?

[No Seas Cortes]

Ariana and Taylor obviously do very well in streaming as they are the biggest pop stars of streaming era.

But... is it fair to call them ''queens of streams'' as their playlisting is huge? Taylor releases like 4 albums a year  

And God knows, payola can be involved 

 

Britney in streaming era:

Spoiler

It's obvious that artists like Britney won't do as good as Ariana or Taylor in current era because their huge hits were released way before the current era and now decades later the old hits are... old and ''not viral'' anymore so why would they get million streams everyday? People keep up with things that are popular now + Britney doesn't even release new music now. It's normal her numbers aren't as big, some people need to understand that. Britney's numbers are actually impressive for someone that hasn't released anything since 2016. Her old hits do well. I think I found information on some Twitter account about Ariana charts that her latest single from Positions gets around 600K everyday while Britney's Toxic gets around the same everyday and it's a 19 year old song that was released way before the streaming era  It's impressive imo.

Taylor Swift is the Queen of a toxic and cultish fanbase.

Yes. I think that they are. Cause the numbers don’t lie. 

[S0ggyBiscuit]

Sure why not...

[Stefani]

Billie and Olivia too. To be fair though Taylor releases an album every time she breathes, so her having a lot of streams is mainly due to the fact that she has so much more material than the other girls, both new and old.

Even if you remove the albums that Taylor released after 2020, she will still be number one on streaming... I don't listen to her music but there is no denying that this woman is smart and talented. and her streaming numbers and her sales speak for themselves

I mean duh, she has released more than 90 songs alone in 1.5 years so of course though true streaming forces are Billie and Olivia also Ariana.

I would say K-pop and Beyoncé fans are worse

[MIKE_INT]

Its fair to say the music industry is dead when quality of the music is counted by number of streams 

 

[stanLOONA]

Uh, yes  look at the material 

I hate when people talk like that about the re-releases, they could've made not big sales nor big numbers, because they were a risk if you can think that people already had those albums/songs, but they did amazing, even better than new releases  (Fearless was the most risky, and after that, not so much because she KNEW that they were big releases, but still)
