Drake, Kendrick Lamar Titles Among Spotify’s Most Streamed Rap Albums Of All Time
The popular digital platform’s just-released Top 50 list also includes influential titles from the likes of Dr. Dre, Juice WRLD, Nicki Minaj and more
Spotify has revealed the platform’s 50 most streamed rap albums of all time.
Through their popular Rap Caviar page, Spotify announced the list earlier this week. A fair chunk of hip-hop’s most important figures can be found within the top 50 at some point, but considering Spotify is just over a decade old, their streaming audience surely favors albums that have been released more recently.
Drake is the artist whose name recurs the most frequently on the list, seeing eight of his albums in the Top 50, with Scorpion, Views and More Life making the Top 10. After him, numerous hip-hop icons can find several of their LPs in the mix, such as Eminem with six, Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar with three, and Travis Scott with two. Additionally, influential hip-hop icons including Tupac, 50 Cent, and Dr. Dre all made the cut as well.
Some surprises include the late XXXTENTACION’s taking the top spot, Juice WRLD and Pop Smoke both having multiple albums present, Lil Tecca’s debut album reaching No. 38, 6ix9ine landing on the chart, and Tyga sneaking in at No. 50.
