Drake, Kanye West and Eminem Were the Most Streamed Hip Hop Artists of 2023 on Spotify

On Spotify in 2023, Drake, Kanye West, and Eminem were the most streamed hip-hop artists.

The well-known trio of hip hop titans maintains control over the music business for one another year.

According to recently released streaming data, Eminem received 6.86 billiоn streams in 2023 while serving as the main artist. With the additional streams from features, Em’s annual profits increase to 7.48 billiоn.

These figures are from Chartmasters.org, which, in contrast to Spotify Wrapped, continued to count until the very end of 2023 and corrected a few errors. For example, here is how they justify Travis Scott’s ranking: The American rapper was ranked seven on Spotify’s own list, so this #17 placement seems out of line with that. Based on our records, he added 600 million more streams on June 18 and 1.12 billiоn on July 18, the day Utopia was released. The tracks from many previous joint ventures (Jackboys, The Scotts, Huncho Jack) that received a lead credit from Travis Scott last summer were the source of these additional streams, which artificially boosted his annual total.

Travis Scott drops considerably in the rankings as a result of this modification. It takes Kanye back to where most people anticipated him to be.

It seems to be in line with the artist’s charting performance overall and on the Spotify Charts in particular. All we can sаy is that Eminem’s tracks are consistently included on the Spotify Global 200 ranking throughout the year, with “Without Me,” “Mockingbird,” “The Real Slim Shady,” “Godzilla,” and “Lose Yourself” being the most popular ones.

Thus, Drake, Kanye West, and Eminem continue to be the most streamed hip-hop artists on Spotify, as they were in 2022 and the middle of 2023. And Eminem, the musician who has been streamed the most on the site since the pre-streaming period.
