Rihanna Is The All-Time Most-Streamed Female Artist On Spotify

Some of this data, man, it’s wild.

March 06, 2015

People love Rihanna—fucking duh, right? Bet you didn't think people loved Rihanna this much, though: The Hollywood Reporter reports (ha) that Spotify's released data on most-streamed female artists in advance of International Women's Day, which is this Sunday, March 8—and guess what? Rihanna sits right at the top of the list of all-time top 10 streamed women globally. FADER cover star Lana Del Rey tops the U.S. all-time chart, and the data gets more interesting from there: Beyoncé is the most-streamed female artist by women both globally and in the U.S., while Katy Perry is the worldwide most-streamed female artist by men. (Lorde dominates the U.S. subsect of that chart.) Data! You can learn a lot from it, sometimes.
