Really fascinating chart with a few surprises... what time period is the parenthetical “(+x)” data for?

If only Beyoncé didn’t have lemonade as tidal only ugh

[jarhys]

The most-streamed female artists’ album is... Dua Lipa! (Quite surprising)

Well that album has basically her entire discography on it now due to that super duper deluxe rerelease edition.

[Enigma.]

The Fame Monster on the list despite being released in 2009

That album should be disqualified just off the fact that she kept adding songs to it months after it's release. She tacked on her biggest features of last year on the album and that's why the streams on it are so high. That's wack to me. What if everyone else did that?

[Caviar]

Wow and Katy having two albums on the list.

[Future Captain]

I think even without One Kiss, Electricity, and the extra post release stuff, the standard deluxe album itself have around 4 billion streams which means it still retain the title of most streamed female album.

I think One Kiss, Electricity, No Lie, Scared To Be Lonely and Kiss And Make Up has over 2 billion streams.

One Kiss 722m
Scared To Be Lonely 650m
No Lie 290m
Electricity 215m
Kiss And Make Up 180m

=2.057B

Technically, Ariana has the most streamed female album on Spotify.

I think it's supposed to be 5,1 billion-2 billion: 3,1 billion which make her and Ariana really close. Also I forgot that Scared to Be Lonely and No Lie were part of the total. I guess they really did tacked in everything huh

[thegreatdivine]

I just think it's ridiculous to tack that many songs onto an already released album. I think it's okay if a single released BEFORE the album dropped is tacked on, even if the single wasn't meant for the album. Examples: Earned It being added to the Weeknd's BBTM, even though it was a single off a movie soundtrack album, Hotline Bling being added to Drake's VIEWS, Candy Paint being added to Post Malone's BB&B and Butterfly Effect being added to Travis Scott's ASTROWORLD. All songs that had accumulated a considerable amount of streams before the artist's dropped an album.

Dua Lipa just kept adding and adding. I'm sure she'll do the same thing for all her albums going forward. It's ridiculous to me because imagine if Drake decided to tack on all the features he was on last year to Scorpion? We wouldn't hear the end of it.

Dua's entire discography will be on her self-titled debut

It's already is. Everything she's released officially as an artist so far is on her debut album. I hope her next era is as successful.

Wait, so 3/4 of Scorpions streams are from before it was released?

That does seem a little fishy, but remember "God's Plan," "Nice for What," and "I'm Upset" all pulled huge numbers before the album dropped. Still, I'm not buying that those three made up that much of its total streams pre-album release, but it could be possible.

[kierz7]

The fact that Dua Lipa has simply added each and every song she's been a part of since her debut in 2015 onto her debut album in pathetic.

thegreatdivine

Imagine if Rihanna added the "Pre-ANTI" singles onto 'ANTI' ala. 'FourFiveSeconds, ...Better Have Money and American Oxygen'? 'ANTI' alone would have well over 5B+ streams and I'm sure shed be accused of serial cheating.

The album track streams on Dua Lipa, Zara Larrssom and Anne-Marie's albums are incredibly low compared to their singles, unlike Rihanna and Ariana Grade whom are genuine streaming forces all around.

Rihanna is still the Most Streamed Female act by far but, regardless...

A mess.

Nah. As at when Scorpion dropped, the album was at 1.5/1.6 billion streams, I believe. I got the list off ATRL and *some* albums were last updated in June 2018, but not all the albums on the list.

This is where Scorpion was as at the 9th of July, just over a week after it was released.
