And the top-artist is…
Yesterday (May 11th), Spotify’s RapCaviar, the authority in hip-hop playlisting services, celebrated its 5th anniversary. Since its birth, the renowned, coveted playlist has become the destination for the hottest hip-hop tracks. Now boasting nearly 13mm followers, RapCaviar has the power to transform an artist’s status, cementing itself as one of the primary hip-hop gatekeepers.
In honor of the five-year anniversary, Spotify presented RapCaviar’s top-performers across its half a decade’s worth of data.
For male artists, Drake, unsurprisingly, leads the pack, followed by Future, Travis Scott, and Lil Uzi Vert; other artists on the top-10 include: Migos, Metro Boomin, 21 Savage, and Lil Baby. For the females, Cardi B tops the list, with Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Young M.A, and SZA rounding-out the top-five.
The top-streamed songs of all time are as follows: “Going Bad” by Meek Mill featuring Drake; “Ric Flair Drip” by Offset, 21 Savage, and Metro Boomin; “SICKO MODE” by Travis Scott; “Drip Too Hard” by Lil Baby and Gunna; and “ZEZE” by Kodak Black featuring Travis Scott and Offset.
Over the past five-years, playlists have emerged as an integral marketing tool for artist proliferation. Will they continue to reign supreme, or will another service supplant them?
