Streaming platforms have changed the music industry forever. In the era of Spotify dominance, only a handful of rappers have consistently crossed the monumental 1 billion streams mark on multiple songs. Here’s a look at the top five hip-hop giants leading the charge.

5. Kanye West (9)

It’s very surprising that Kanye doesn’t have more…

From “Gold Digger” to “Stronger,” Kanye West has nine songs that have crossed the billion-stream milestone. His catalog continues to thrive years after release, proving the staying power of his artistry. BTW: If they had streaming services back then, Ye would have way more billion-stream songs.

Most-Streamed Track: “Heartless”

4. XXXTENTACION (11)

Can you imagine how many more billion-stream songs XXXTENACTION could’ve had if he was alive.

Despite his career being tragically cut short, XXXTENTACION has an impressive 11 songs with over a billion streams. His raw emotional delivery on tracks like “SAD!” and “Jocelyn Flores” continues to connect with millions around the world.

Most-Streamed Track: “SAD!”

Kendrick Lamar (13)

If Kendrick Lamar focused most of his attention on making hits, he would be close to #1 on this list.

Kendrick Lamar matches Eminem’s total with 13 billion-stream hits. Whether it’s the anthemic “HUMBLE.” or the poetic “Money Trees,” Kendrick blends lyricism and replay value like few others in hip-hop history

Most-Streamed Track: “HUMBLE”

2. Eminem (13)

Eminem is probably the rapper with the least commercial hits on this list.

Eminem’s 13 entries in the billion-stream club showcase a career that has spanned decades. From early 2000s classics like “Without Me” to modern hits like “Godzilla,” the Rap God proves his staying power in the streaming era.

1. Drake (25)

Drake will probably never be topped.

Sitting comfortably at the top, Drake has an unmatched 25 songs with over a billion streams on Spotify. From club anthems to introspective deep cuts, his consistency and adaptability make him the undisputed king of streaming.

Favorite Tracks: “One Dance”
