Most Streamed Rappers of All Time (Top 30)

Since Billboard began incorporating streams and YouTube views into its certification process, hip-hop music has soared to the summit of the pop charts and has maintained its dominance ever since.

Hip-hop, now officially recognized by the industry as the most dominant and influential music genre for decades, has garnered over 100 hip-hop albums with a staggering 1 billion streams each. This recognition comes after years of hip-hop’s significant impact, and it’s no surprise that the genre has now received the acknowledgment it deserves.

Credit goes to the team at ChartMasters, who compiled a list of the most streamed artists on Spotify, revealing a substantial presence of rap artists, with some securing top positions. With this data, we’ve identified the top-streamed hip-hop artists on Spotify to date.

From heavyweights like Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Eminem to rising stars such as Pop Smoke, Juice WRLD, and XXXTentacion, here are the 50 most streamed rappers of all time.
