Fun fact: Spotify wasn't available in Korea until much recently unless you had a Samsung phone. It was just recently (in the past year or two) that it was made available, and even then it is still basically non-existent, as people tend to go for the precedent (which was Melon)
@@godzandheros that's a good point. plus, everyone who had a Samsung phone didn't install Spotify. it was available for us only if we had a Samsung but we still had to install it and sign up for it. you couldn't pay for premium with bank cards issued in Korea. and between a music platform that already has a precedent and an app that practically nobody is familiar with, people would rather have the former than have to download the other and figure it out I'd like to add that about 40% of Korea has iPhones or other brands of smartphone *edited for grammar errors
you should do top FOLLOWED artists next time. It's always interesting seeing which artists have the biggest fanbases. I know followers on spotify don't necessarily represent a true fanbase, but u should still do it anyway. btw this has doubled my previous record for likes on a comment. It's pretty cool, and it's only the second day. Random thing
Basically every countries music that doesn't use Spotify is excluded. E.g. BTS is a fucking wonder to be on the list cause Koreans generally don't use Spotify, just shows how big they are would be another +10-20mil monthly listeners.
Melon is also one of the two big companies/services that do the big end-of-the-year award shows in South Korea - there's the Melon Music Awards (MMAs) and the Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMAs). Melon is also the music service by Naver, which is the Korean Google.
Playlisting plays a big part in these! Because if you're put at the top of a hugely popular playlist, you're gonna get a lot of listeners that didn't necessarily choose to listen to your song but still count as a new monthly listener
yeah bts in asia...have other apps like melon for korean, line music for japan... netease for china, aghami for arab countries. but still being in the top 40? amazing. btw i think you should do top FOLLOWED artists next time because i think it's more about fans i think and for sure monthly listeners are affected by payed playlisting.
It's interesting to see how Taylor Swift is only number 7 in monthly listeners, but number 2 in terms of daily streams. That's just one of many examples of how you need to have a multi-faceted approach when measuring an artist's popularity. Thank you Roomie for this awesome video, we missed you!
Yes, while fewer people listen to her music on Spotify, they listen quite extensively, which is seen in her daily streams. She is not as mainstream and radio-friendly as she used to be, but she's still killing it, which is beyond impressive.
It's beautiful to see that even if Joel is now uploading less videos because he rightfully needs more time, they are still very good videos and his fans are always here supporting him🥰
I think daily streams are a much better way to determine the current most popular artists. By that metric, the top 10 most listened to artists are: 1. Bad Bunny 2. Taylor Swift 3. The Weeknd 4. Drake 5. BTS 6. Ed Sheeran 7. Justin Bieber 8. Kanye West 9. Eminem 10. Doja Cat
@@RedDevilSkillz But monthly listeners depend a lot on playlisting, if a song of an artist is added to a big playlist, they will have more monthly listeners count even if people aren't necessarily willingly playing their music. I think all of these factors, monthly listeners, daily streams, followers should be taken into account to determine the artist's overall popularity.
Don't remind me about Spotify in Korea. That caused a huge scene with the distributor kakaoM(?) there. There were a lot of kppop songs taken down from spotify worldwide because of that. Thankfully they came back after about a week or so.
Omg yes those were dark times. I remember listening to my K-pop list at the moment that they removed the songs. My playlist just suddenly cut off. Thank god some of my faves were using Genie instead of Kakao
As of Dec 2021, Spotify's market share in Korean streaming sites is 1,46%. The two biggest streaming sites, Melon and Genie, make up 56,52% of the market shares (37,28% and 19,24%). A similar trend can be seen in most Asian countries (and possibly other areas?). So yes, the Spotify charts are VERY Western. If it was the other way around, a lot of these artists would be out. I feel like it's very important to acknowledge this bc a lot of the time the Western world feels like the rest of the world doesn't exist lol.
Once again I have to give huge respect to Roomie for actually mentioning that Spotify is basically non-existant in South Korea and that they use Melon. Literally all of the monthly listeners and streams are NOT from BTS home country (or Japan, considering that BTS have released whole albums in japanese) - which is actually insane. Imagine being in the TOP40 most listened to artist and not have the numbers from your home country included - I think BTS impact worldwide still get's overlooked a lot.
I'm proud of them. Yet people still act like they're a one-night thing when from SoundCloud, iTunes, Melon, and Spotify they're consistently topping the charts 🥴💞

bts, adele , and taylor does have power and impact i think this is the proof who are locals and who are not cause i dont see people who are so called big in the industry nowadays
Crazy how Queen, a band that stopped making music 30 years ago is still well in the top 50 even 5 years after the giant burst of fans they got from the movie. Just shows how timeless their music was
I think it would be interesting to do top most FOLLOWED artists on Spotify. A lot of streams come from currated playlists. If song goes viral, it gives the artist listeners for that song, but their popularity or fans don't increase as much. The most interesting concept would be TOP FOLLOWED artists vs their monthly listeners. Some numbers are funny to see... either they have streams from playlists and not that many fans (ppl who chose to follow them) or they have many followers but ppl don't actually losten to their music
I am a 41 year old mom of 3 daughters 18, 16, and 9. I know nothing about music other than I just love listening to it. I suffer with severe depression and your videos are truly a Godsend. For that few minutes I watch I am not worried about anything.
I hope you can cope through difficult times. My strength is with you. Someone who has suffered from depression so I can understand what you are going through. My lost my Dad at the age of 13 who died while serving in the army. I became horrified and cut all social contact and became socially awkward. I literally forgot how to interact with someone after meeting them and couldn't make any friends. Also I moved soon after and didn't have any friends that I knew. Music was my only friend through all those times, it still is.
@@neelchaudhary6182 I am so sorry you lost your dad at such a young age. He passed away being a hero, but I know that doesn't help with your loss. My mom passed away unexpectedly Jan 2019 and she was laid to rest on my 38th birthday. It hurt losing my mom...a lot, but I struggled with everything that came afterwards. My oldest daughter, who was 15 at the time was staying the night with my parents and my mom just slumped over mid conversation with my daughter. She struggled with seeing everything happen. Then, my dad became suicidal after my mom passed. So I never got to fully mourn because I was busy looking after them. It was hard losing my mom at 38, so I can't imagine how bad it hurt to lose your dad at 13. I know this won't bring him back or help with the pain but I thank him & your family for the service & sadly, the sacrifice that was made. Be blessed 🙏🏼
It is kind of insane that Michael Jackson is still in the the top 100 when he passed away over 10 years ago and his last mainstream album were released over 20 years ago
Exactly and don’t forget the Media campaign against MJ. They try so hard to destroy him with lies but he still there. Wait til his biopic comes out. This same thing will happen what happened to Queen
It would be interesting to compare this list with 100 most streamed artists (either of all time or monthly) and/or most followed ones. I feel like monthly listeners is not an accurate measurement to tell "who's the biggest/most listened to", cs all you need is to listen to one song from the artist and boom, you're one of their "monthly listeners".
I think it's impressive to see Justin in the top 2! Before even realising an album in 2019 he was still number 1!..... he is killing it rn, he is the ONLY artist that i know can book and sold out stadiums on countries like Japan (4 times), Malaysia, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil! He has the demand and his reach it's just global.
He has Monthly listeners because his songs are in every major Spotify playlists If the songs are removed from the playlist half the people will actually themselves approach his music
@@luzcari3202 You'd think people are keen on musical artists and have their preferences known. But in reality they are locals, they look at what's trending, go to today's top Hits and play music from there, if they don't like it, they skip it but the listener still is counted as the artists monthly listener.
@@harshyadav9896 well not only on Spotify He's famous in other streaming platform too Like melon (south Korea) Gana , jio savan ( India) He has fan following more than Taylor Your jealous
This was such a good video! Me and my brother have a list of the top 500 in spotify monthly listeners and have a program updating it daily, so we were so excited to see a video about it!
Coldplay has been around for a long time and they are consistently near the top of the charts, so it’s not surprising to me that they are so high up there. 🤷🏻♀️
And don’t forget the media campaign against MJ. They try so hard to destroy him but he still there. And wait til his biopic comes out. He will be so high. They will jump so high the same way like queen
@@Kammy-nh8vl Good music will never die. People always go back to it. It is impressive that some artist left such heavy footprints. I am not a big of Queen but they are impressve like Elton John. Kudos to them.
Harry hadn't released any songs in more than 2 years when this video was made, since he released the last album 3 months ago he as been between 3rd and 4th place
Yes! Sebastian Yatra is the guy that sang Dos Oruguitas in Encanto. I checked out his stuff after watching the movie and I really like it! I'm surprised I didn't know about him before since he is so popular. I think he was popular in Latin America but Encanto made him bigger in the US. Edit: actually a lot of his stuff is Reggaeton, which I'm not a big fan of, however, I like some of his stuff lol.
@@hii6897 yes! That's my fave as well. Do you know if it's on the radio? I don't really listen to it. I really want Hispanic artists on the charts that don't sing reggaeton lol
I knew Justin was gonna be up there in the Top 5. That wasn't surprising. I was not a fan of his when Baby came out, but became a fan in his later work. Still continues making music and collabing. Catchy work.
Taylor took her whole discography off of spotify for 3 years and this was during her peak era 1989 (album with songs like shake it off, style, blank space) she could be top 3 right now if she didnt
I got way more joy out of seeing coldplay in the top then I thought I would I am a huge fan of their music and even though I do have a stronger connection to there older stuff I just like too see that they still are going and doing this great. After watching way too many interviews with Chris Martin I cant help but just wish them all the succes in the world such a wholesome band
They have some massive hits from back in the day, so it doesn’t surprise me that they’re that high up. I don’t listen to them much anymore but I know people would listen to “Clocks” or “Viva La Vida” on repeat, they’re classics!
Same. I love them. I’m not suprised they are so high. They have some extremely popular songs like fix you and viva la vida. The Bts collab gave them over 20 million more monthly listeners as well. Impressive.
a lot of ppl i know who listen to coldplay mostly listen to their old stuff. i don't listen to their new stuff but old songs like yellow, in my place and speed of sound are still great!
If it would help, i'd listen to Avicii for days just to put him before Pitbull again. Good to see him in the list tho ☺️🇸🇪🖤 Avicii's still in my top 3.
Glad for Onerepublic, its a great band and i think its underrated, Ryan makes great songs for 1R and many others artists, i think he and his band deserves more attention and listeners. By the way they released new single, called west coast, i like it.
IKRRR!! 😭 They've been my fave band since I was in 2nd grade. and yes, they deserve better (recognitions) such a shame that the general public is sleeping on them... 💔 btw, they're releasing a new song soon
Ryan Tedder from OneRepublic is honestly just a musical prodigy. He’s incredible. Written countless hits for other artists and still is in the top 100 artists easily with his band. He’s just incredible.
Yea. His songwriting is amazing and is so rarely talked about because nobody knows how many hits he's written for so many other artists. He's a true gift to the music industry.
I picked 5 artists and I was holding my breath for #1 because I hadn’t seen The Weeknd until then, but I got all 5 right! Post Malone - 23 Billie Eilish - 18 Lil Nas X - 15 BTS - 35 The Weeknd - 1
I picked Ed Sheeran (3) , Dua Lipa (4) , The Weekend (1) , Justin Bieber (2) and Olivia Rodrigo (13). I was holding my breath a lot :D But I guess I went for the win so I shouldn´t be surprised.
It’s always interesting to see these kinds of ranking lists when they’re a very specific stat like monthly listeners. It really gives you an appreciation for how much you can manipulate information without lying because of how wildly different the lists are depending on the exact stat you’re looking at. All while looking at things most people would consider to be “popularity”. Like daily plays, monthly plays, overall plays, by month, every list varies wildly but any one of them people would typically relate to “popularity”. Also, it blows my mind how big Spotify is in the Hispanic community. So many artists that are in the top 100 that I’ve never heard a single song from, ever.
I personally think total monthly streams per artist is more accurate. Since monthly listeners is massively influenced by playlisting. Would like to see a video on that in the future!
You know what video would be interesting? Top 100 Spotify artist by listeners retention. Take top 100 followed artists on Spotify. Then from their Total followers numbers redux their monthly followers. That would show which artists has most loyal and disloyal listeners. :D Or compare How many artist songs in average 1 of their fallower listens in a month. Most streamed Artists on Spotify for example month February of 2022 and divide that stream number by their monthly listeners number that month. I wondering who would come on top there.
As a Canadian I am so proud that Justin and The Weeknd are at the top of the list! Also I've loved Ava Max for a long time and I'm so proud that she's in the Spotify top 100!! Now it's time to advertise Sabrina Carpenter to the world 🥰
@@xlantboi I am guessing you are talking about After Hours since that was his most commercially successful one . But no , true fans will agree that all his albums are epic and his very first Ep, Trilogy is his greatest masterpiece . I totally respect whatever opinion you have and I don't dislike Justin either . I will just request you to listen to Trilogy and Kiss Land once . His music is completely different from anything you have heard , I promise you .
Cut to today Harry styles is almost about to be #3 on the spotify he straight up jumped 60 in like 2-3 months after his new album harry's house its so beautifull and a proud harriet
I still can't believe that from a singing Perspective Kanye West (who made a TERRIBLE cover of bohemian rhapsody) and all these other rap artists are higher than Queen😭. (I am assuming it's from a singing perspective because it's about singers in the title). I mean stone cold crazy proved that he can sing insanely fast. He could easily outsing Drake😅.
I remember seeing pictures and videos of people in South Korea with their headphones plugged into a Melon. I never understood it until I learned about the streaming service Melon. Also, I would love to see more videos on Korean songs and artists on this channel. I love your personality and I love watching your videos because you always make me laugh, so I would love it if you could cover a little more of the underrated genre of K-Pop. There are so many different styles of the genre and there's a lot more variety in terms of sounds. My personal favorite group is ATEEZ but there are MANY talented K-Pop groups out there.
Actually; Blinding Lights overtook Shape Of You as the most streamed Spotify song of all time right before 2023. I believe a couple hours before midnight. And it's still growing.
12:29 Fun Fact: In streams Bad Bunny is the most streamed artist in the world rn this year and this decade, It's crazy how Latin Music become changing the scene of worldwide music thanks for the Latin Population Globally.

My mom passed away unexpectedly Jan 2019 and she was laid to rest on my 38th birthday. It hurt losing my mom...a lot, but I struggled with everything that came afterwards. My oldest daughter, who was 15 at the time was staying the night with my parents and my mom just slumped over mid conversation with my daughter. She struggled with seeing everything happen. Then, my dad became suicidal after my mom passed. So I never got to fully mourn because I was busy looking after them. It was hard losing my mom at 38, so I can't imagine how bad it hurt to lose your dad at 13. I know this won't bring him back or help with the pain but I thank him & your family for the service & sadly, the sacrifice that was made. Be blessed 🙏🏼
@@dislikebutton2462that wouldn't be wrong though...lol
Queen has 40 million monthly streams now...making them the most popular classic rock band to ever exist.
They 100% deserve it
I'm so happy to see that my boys are still in top 100 after all these years.🇨🇮💛💚💙❤️🥰🥰🥰
Its not about winners or losers but we won

No they Are overrated
Harry Solo Career is Billion time better than 1D
I'm forever happy to see my boys still smashing it up there. 💙💚🇮🇪💛❤️
their music will never die
@@randomshorts9309 IT SHALL NOT

Yaaaasss 💚💙🇮🇪❤️💛
They should be 75% of the list tho 😂😁😁😂😂😁😁😂😂
Loving you and Chance working together on these videos! You have good (platonic) chemistry which makes commentary vids SO much better.
It is kind of insane that Michael Jackson is still in the the top 100 when he passed away over 10 years ago and his last mainstream album were released over 20 years ago
Exactly and don’t forget the Media campaign against MJ. They try so hard to destroy him with lies but he still there. Wait til his biopic comes out. This same thing will happen what happened to Queen
@@lmmjm10377 When is the biopic coming out?
@@zb1planet Hope never
I made TOP 200 Most VIEWED Songs of All Time on TH-cam:)
It would be interesting to compare this list with 100 most streamed artists (either of all time or monthly) and/or most followed ones. I feel like monthly listeners is not an accurate measurement to tell "who's the biggest/most listened to", cs all you need is to listen to one song from the artist and boom, you're one of their "monthly listeners".
Or maybe even total no. of stream coz I dont think many ppl follow their fav artists or might just be me
@@yoganshkhandelwal8718 yeah, definitely!
a list of artists with the most monthly streams would be interesting
Another BTS stan
@@sarthakkk8628 there are a lot of us. Get used to it..
I think it's impressive to see Justin in the top 2! Before even realising an album in 2019 he was still number 1!..... he is killing it rn, he is the ONLY artist that i know can book and sold out stadiums on countries like Japan (4 times), Malaysia, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil! He has the demand and his reach it's just global.
He has Monthly listeners because his songs are in every major Spotify playlists
If the songs are removed from the playlist half the people will actually themselves approach his music
@@harshyadav9896 you are lying to urself if u think bc the skip bottom EXISTS. also he has demand in real life with stadiums all over the world.
@@luzcari3202 You'd think people are keen on musical artists and have their preferences known. But in reality they are locals, they look at what's trending, go to today's top Hits and play music from there, if they don't like it, they skip it but the listener still is counted as the artists monthly listener.
He has massive fan following in Asian countries
More than north america
Prince of pop
@@harshyadav9896 well not only on Spotify
He's famous in other streaming platform too
Like melon (south Korea)
Gana , jio savan ( India)
He has fan following more than Taylor
Your jealous
This was such a good video! Me and my brother have a list of the top 500 in spotify monthly listeners and have a program updating it daily, so we were so excited to see a video about it!
Coldplay has been around for a long time and they are consistently near the top of the charts, so it’s not surprising to me that they are so high up there. 🤷🏻♀️
Yah he is not a Coldplay fan 😂. They have 3 songs over 1 billion streams and ig after the bts collab they got more Asian audience as well
Definitely. And the Asian audience definitely helped with the BTS collab. They were already high around 40M mls but the collab added another 20M
All their songs sound so similar though 🤷🏾♀️
@@tabithathewholistic That doesn't happen only with Coldplay 😂 that happens with every band. Even imagine dragons sounds super familiar. So what?🤷
@@kapishroy3106 Yep definitely Imagine Dragons also
Would love to see you do a top 100 for kpop artists only including groups, solo artists and drama osts and seeing you react to them too!
the power 1D holds to be on there even though they've released absolutely NOTHING in the past 7 years. Directioners representtt , indeed!
Directioners power ✊✊✊
yessss
Yes!
Hell yes!

Michael Jackson has still 27 + Million listeners on Spotify listeners despite he died 13 year ago. I guess it is not that bad.
goat
@@samgarratt2628 He is the GOAT of the GOAT'S.
And don’t forget the media campaign against MJ. They try so hard to destroy him but he still there. And wait til his biopic comes out. He will be so high. They will jump so high the same way like queen
Queen has 36+ million monthly despite Freddie dying 30 years ago. Hella impressive and goes to show good music lasts.
@@Kammy-nh8vl Good music will never die. People always go back to it. It is impressive that some artist left such heavy footprints. I am not a big of Queen but they are impressve like Elton John. Kudos to them.
Harry hadn't released any songs in more than 2 years when this video was made, since he released the last album 3 months ago he as been between 3rd and 4th place
Harry deserves that and more but I would like him to release music more often and do collaborations.
Yes! Sebastian Yatra is the guy that sang Dos Oruguitas in Encanto. I checked out his stuff after watching the movie and I really like it! I'm surprised I didn't know about him before since he is so popular. I think he was popular in Latin America but Encanto made him bigger in the US.
Edit: actually a lot of his stuff is Reggaeton, which I'm not a big fan of, however, I like some of his stuff lol.
Do you like Tacones Rojos? That’s my fave
@@hii6897 yes! That's my fave as well. Do you know if it's on the radio? I don't really listen to it. I really want Hispanic artists on the charts that don't sing reggaeton lol
The fact Queen is on here after decades from their forming is such a big flex.
that "you got blinded by the light" at the end already deserves the like 🤣🤣🤣
I knew Justin was gonna be up there in the Top 5. That wasn't surprising. I was not a fan of his when Baby came out, but became a fan in his later work. Still continues making music and collabing. Catchy work.
Yeahhh he's a great artist , doesn't matter what people think about him , i love his music ❤️

Taylor took her whole discography off of spotify for 3 years and this was during her peak era 1989 (album with songs like shake it off, style, blank space) she could be top 3 right now if she didnt
She is literally at #1 now, ahaha.
I got way more joy out of seeing coldplay in the top then I thought I would I am a huge fan of their music and even though I do have a stronger connection to there older stuff I just like too see that they still are going and doing this great. After watching way too many interviews with Chris Martin I cant help but just wish them all the succes in the world such a wholesome band
They have some massive hits from back in the day, so it doesn’t surprise me that they’re that high up. I don’t listen to them much anymore but I know people would listen to “Clocks” or “Viva La Vida” on repeat, they’re classics!
Same. I love them. I’m not suprised they are so high. They have some extremely popular songs like fix you and viva la vida. The Bts collab gave them over 20 million more monthly listeners as well. Impressive.
Their older stuff is just mmwwaah
Ikr, the recent collab with BTS helped as well. They do have many huge hits, that’s amazing they’re # 6 on this list
a lot of ppl i know who listen to coldplay mostly listen to their old stuff. i don't listen to their new stuff but old songs like yellow, in my place and speed of sound are still great!
If it would help, i'd listen to Avicii for days just to put him before Pitbull again. Good to see him in the list tho ☺️🇸🇪🖤 Avicii's still in my top 3.
Glad for Onerepublic, its a great band and i think its underrated, Ryan makes great songs for 1R and many others artists, i think he and his band deserves more attention and listeners. By the way they released new single, called west coast, i like it.
💯💯
Agree
IKRRR!! 😭 They've been my fave band since I was in 2nd grade. and yes, they deserve better (recognitions) such a shame that the general public is sleeping on them... 💔
btw, they're releasing a new song soon
💯
I'm just proud that Queen stands the test of time and makes this list considering the amount of pop acts are on here. Queen still will rock you.
Ryan Tedder from OneRepublic is honestly just a musical prodigy. He’s incredible. Written countless hits for other artists and still is in the top 100 artists easily with his band. He’s just incredible.
Yea. His songwriting is amazing and is so rarely talked about because nobody knows how many hits he's written for so many other artists. He's a true gift to the music industry.
I picked 5 artists and I was holding my breath for #1 because I hadn’t seen The Weeknd until then, but I got all 5 right!
Post Malone - 23
Billie Eilish - 18
Lil Nas X - 15
BTS - 35
The Weeknd - 1
I thought of disliking if the weeknd doesn't appear but roomie doesn't disappoint his fans
I picked Ed Sheeran (3) , Dua Lipa (4) , The Weekend (1) , Justin Bieber (2) and Olivia Rodrigo (13). I was holding my breath a lot :D But I guess I went for the win so I shouldn´t be surprised.
I picked the Weeknd (1), Justin Bieber (2), Post Malone (23), Ed Sheeran (3), and Bruno Mars (10) ...all there
My top 5 guesses in no particular order were:
Doja cat
Adele
Ed Sheran
Dua Lepa
Justin Bieber
1:34 King of Pop Michael Jackson 80s artists but still here.
You should do an updated video of the top 100 most popular spotify songs each year
I'm not even that much of a 1D fan, but it made me really happy to see they're still relevant
I made TOP 200 Most VIEWED music video on TH-cam:)
they will definitely always be relevant 😊
They'll always be 💕
Always love your videos, and I love that you mentioned how you got the 100 people by monthly Spotify listeners 👏
You know it's a good day when roomie uploads
U play bs too?

@@yoganshkhandelwal8718 yea sure! Haha
It’s always interesting to see these kinds of ranking lists when they’re a very specific stat like monthly listeners. It really gives you an appreciation for how much you can manipulate information without lying because of how wildly different the lists are depending on the exact stat you’re looking at. All while looking at things most people would consider to be “popularity”. Like daily plays, monthly plays, overall plays, by month, every list varies wildly but any one of them people would typically relate to “popularity”.
Also, it blows my mind how big Spotify is in the Hispanic community. So many artists that are in the top 100 that I’ve never heard a single song from, ever.
Chance is a great addition to the videos, great work guys!
All five of my guesses where there. I guessed:
The Weekend
Taylor Swift
Billie Eilish
Post Malone
Justin Bieber
Kinda of hoping now that roomie can do a melon version or top K-pop songs on Spotify
YES PLEASE
He should do a 'top songs on melon' because a lot of local Korean singers have a lot of streams on melon and on spotify its just bts and bp
@@layscatbutihavenoname4812 Yes fr, Id love to see him realize that k-ballad, k-rap, and k-rnb also dominate the Korean top songs chart.
up
I personally think total monthly streams per artist is more accurate. Since monthly listeners is massively influenced by playlisting.
Would like to see a video on that in the future!
You know what video would be interesting?
Top 100 Spotify artist by listeners retention. Take top 100 followed artists on Spotify. Then from their Total followers numbers redux their monthly followers. That would show which artists has most loyal and disloyal listeners. :D
Or compare How many artist songs in average 1 of their fallower listens in a month. Most streamed Artists on Spotify for example month February of 2022 and divide that stream number by their monthly listeners number that month. I wondering who would come on top there.
weeknd never disappoints with his music...truly deserves to be on top
Yes, The weeknd Is the best😊
Lol i love the ads/sponser with chance , he’s hilarious
0:58 I'M SO PROUD BSKSHSJA

As a Canadian I am so proud that Justin and The Weeknd are at the top of the list! Also I've loved Ava Max for a long time and I'm so proud that she's in the Spotify top 100!! Now it's time to advertise Sabrina Carpenter to the world 🥰
Justin is legend
The Weeknd is the greatest artist of this generation!!!!! The king of R&B!!
@@stormzmusix really ? He only made one album which is listenable so..
@@xlantboi Oh yeah ? Care to tell me which one?
@@xlantboi I am guessing you are talking about After Hours since that was his most commercially successful one . But no , true fans will agree that all his albums are epic and his very first Ep, Trilogy is his greatest masterpiece . I totally respect whatever opinion you have and I don't dislike Justin either . I will just request you to listen to Trilogy and Kiss Land once . His music is completely different from anything you have heard , I promise you .
14:54 cant tell if it was intentional or not but this only gets better when you realise that My Universe is a song WITH BTS. iconic
Cut to today Harry styles is almost about to be #3 on the spotify he straight up jumped 60 in like 2-3 months after his new album harry's house its so beautifull and a proud harriet
I can blindfoldly say The Weeknd is going to be in any top 10 list . Huge fan of the Weeknd , can’t get enough of his music. Fav singer ⚡️

Yoooo let’s go Queen!!!! Made it on the top 100!!!!! I’m so proud 😁
I still can't believe that from a singing Perspective Kanye West (who made a TERRIBLE cover of bohemian rhapsody) and all these other rap artists are higher than Queen😭. (I am assuming it's from a singing perspective because it's about singers in the title). I mean stone cold crazy proved that he can sing insanely fast. He could easily outsing Drake😅.

I remember seeing pictures and videos of people in South Korea with their headphones plugged into a Melon. I never understood it until I learned about the streaming service Melon.
Also, I would love to see more videos on Korean songs and artists on this channel. I love your personality and I love watching your videos because you always make me laugh, so I would love it if you could cover a little more of the underrated genre of K-Pop. There are so many different styles of the genre and there's a lot more variety in terms of sounds. My personal favorite group is ATEEZ but there are MANY talented K-Pop groups out there.
Hiya fellow Atiny:) i agree with your opinion i would love for roomie to checkout some more k pop like ATEEZ
Queen, still slaying it at top 50!
I thought one other band would be higher. But, DAMN Bohemian Rhapsody really helped a lot!
Linkin Park? If this video was remade today, they would be here
I had a long day at school and roomie uploading made me feel better
Actually; Blinding Lights overtook Shape Of You as the most streamed Spotify song of all time right before 2023. I believe a couple hours before midnight. And it's still growing.
I am so happy to see 1D in top 100
-Directioner ❤
12:29
Fun Fact: In streams Bad Bunny is the most streamed artist in the world rn this year and this decade, It's crazy how Latin Music become changing the scene of worldwide music thanks for the Latin Population Globally.
Bad Bunny is amazing!
so interesting to see 1 year ago 1 direction had around 20million monthly listeners and now has doubled that to around 40million. same with harry styles a year ago he had 33million monthly listeners and now it’s doubled to 65million
Avicci did great music that still resonates today. RIP
Weeknd, Justin & Ed always swapping top spots
Ed is the Roger Federer at the moment. JB is the Novak Djokovic while The weeknd takes the French opens lol.
Harry is somewhere around 25th in the world right now...just a month after this video!
As it was🤷🏻♂️
Your videos are amazing dude! Thanks for all this and also, The Weeknd just rocked these years again!!!
my guesses for the top five:
-the weeknd
-taylor swift
-ed sheeran
-justin bieber
-billie eilish
edit: ayy I got three right!
I also thought about justin Bieber , Weeknd ,dua
XlanT shadY same+
Video idea: take meme songs and do a bit of a deep dive on the musicians behind them, perhaps a meme songs vs most popular other song
I GOT 4 OUT OF 5 LOL. I immediately thought of the Weeknd and dua, then ed because of shape of you which is litteraly the most streamed song, Bieber because of Stay and Billie but turns out she wasnt in the top 10
Justin ❤️
SLAYY DIRECTIONERS!! 💙💚🇮🇪💛❤️🔥
This list doesn't make me sad that I am not keeping up much of the current music. So much just sounded like the same song over and over again.
spotify wasnt found in korea unless you had a samsung phone, still alot of kpop idols get millions of streams on spotify, but streaming platforms like melon are used more in korea.. Yet, here we are breaking records on spotify ^^
The Weeknd and Justin Bieber are number 1 and 2! I'm so amazed and excited! Both of them are my favourite singers ever
Same

Beliebers
Mine is jb
It feels so weird having jalebi baby in this video its such a good song thank you Joel for including it
I can't believe Imagine Dragons is still on top! Every song of that guys gives me hope and cool power😍
It's because of Arcane
The sheer energy radiating from many Imagine Dragons songs is incredible.
💙💪
They did actually have 40 million monthly listeners before arcane
@@nevets1726 lol sit your fact straight. They had millions of streams way before arcane and the song with most listeners overall isn't enemy

One Republic gives me so much nostalgia and they are still killing it today
Elton John has been active for over 50 years and is 74 years old and still in top 20. That’s class.
You can never go wrong with The Weeknd. He 100% deserves the number 1 spot. True artist.
Yep. The greatest artist of this generation!!!!The king of R&B!!
