Without dropping an album for over three years, Marshall remains one of the most streamed artists on Spotify across all genres.
There are only three rappers on the list — Drake, 21 Savage, and Eminem himself. Interestingly, last year, about the same time, there were also only three rappers in the list, but the third one (besides Drake and Eminem whose presence is basically given) was Kanye West, who has disappeared from the Top 10 completely. Also, Em shows better numbers this year and ranked higher than in 2022. Mind you, last year Em took part in the biggest televised event, the Super Bowl Halftime Show, which gave a fantastic push to his numbers. This year he manages just as well without such outreach.
The list of the most streamed artists on Spotify in 2023 so far (as of Aug. 4, 2023) looks like this:
1. Taylor Swift — 15 billion
2. Bad Bunny — 10.5 billion
3. The Weeknd — 9.2 billion
4. Drake — 7.4 billion
5. Peso Pluma — 5.9 billion
6. Feid — 5.3 billion
7. Sza — 4.7 billion
8. 21 Savage — 4.6 billion
9. Eminem — 4.14 billion
10. Ed Sheeran — 4.107 billion
