NBA YoungBoy Secures 5th Consecutive Year as Hip Hop YouTube Streaming King
In a remarkable display of dominance, NBA YoungBoy has once again asserted his supremacy on YouTube, reclaiming the title of the United States’ second-most streamed artist overall for the fifth consecutive year and solidifying his position as the most streamed Hip Hop artist of the year.
According to the latest data from YouTube Charts, the Baton Rouge native faced tough competition but managed to surpass renowned artists such as Drake, Bad Bunny, and even Taylor Swift, with only Mexican singer Peso Pluma surpassing him overall.
This achievement adds to NBA YoungBoy’s impressive track record, as in 2023, he became the youngest artist to secure 100 songs in the prestigious Billboard Hot 100 chart. His consistent success on the platform has underscored his resilience in the highly competitive music industry.
While Drake, often referred to as the 6 God, has been a force to reckon with in the streaming realm, securing the title of the “number one most streamed rapper on Spotify in 2023, with over 17.6 billion streams,” Taylor Swift managed to break records with the highest number of streams in a single year on the platform.
Highlighting the significance of full-length projects, Metro Boomin’s “Heroes & Villains” emerged as the “MOST streamed rap album of 2023 with 3.3 billion streams on Spotify,” distinguishing itself as the sole rap album to surpass the 3 billion streams mark that year.
With both NBA YoungBoy and Drake continuing to generate monumental streaming figures, it is evident that they remain at the forefront of the music streaming game. Addressing recent speculations about a potential feud between Drake and Metro Boomin, the superstar producer clarified on Twitter that there is no serious discord, emphasizing that it is “Not deep at all lmao.”
