Kinda interesting imo that so many of this list have been huge for 10+ years. Wonder if its a product of the internet making it so people are more able to find a specific niche they like so new megastars are just harder to make, thus the megastars just before streaming was standard have gotten to just stick around

That means that the average human has streamed 20 songs (obviously not actually, because of repeats). Damn.

Nicki Minaj getting more streams than Lady Gaga is a shock!

As someone who grew up in the 90s, this is a disgrace.

Sia has to be in the top 20, but I’m surprised by Ariana Grande’s position after that donut incident.

This world has lost all respect for donuts.
