If you are not impressed by this number, keep in mind that there are about 7 million registered artists on the platform.
Now, you can find a tag informing that she is the artist No.390 in the world on Skylar’s page. Yes, she has just 11.7 million monthly listeners and 492,012 followers, but the trend is coming up. These numbers might be smaller than those of her collaborators, such as Eminem, but they are solid. For instance, Mozzy, who recorded a verse for her latest release, ranks at No. 408.
Skylar is an independent artist who, for years, has been writing hit songs for superstars and kept her own art intimate and personal. It is reflected in her Spotify catalogue — her most streamed songs are those where she is a featured artist (it also means that she wrote this song). Macklemore’s “Glorious” is the most popular so far, with over 668 million streams recorded.
However, Skylar concentrates more on her own music now, taking ownership of her art. Thus, the most recent single written for the Venom franchise, “Last One Standing”, is already the 12th most streamed song from her catalogue. The song has reached this ranking in just under a month since its release.
With a new album on the way, let’s hope that Skylar will successfully carve her way up in the industry without sacrificing her authenticity.
