Travis Scott surpasses Kanye West, close to Eminem’s position on the list of most streamed rappers
Travis Scott has surpassed Kanye West on the list of most streamed rappers in the world and is quickly approaching Eminem‘s spot in the top three.
As reported by Instagram blog RapTV on Wednesday (September 18) and confirmed by Kworb, Travis is now the third most-streamed rapper on Spotify with a whopping 49 billion streams.
He comes in just behind Em at No. 2 with 51 billion streams, but both are still a ways behind the most-streamed rapper in the world, Drake, with 103 billion. Ye currently sits at No. 4 with 48 billion, while Futurerounds out the top five with 40 billion.
A surge in sales from the commercial release of his 2014 mixtape Days Before Rodeo certainly helped. The effort is set to secure the coveted number one spot on the Billboard 200, four weeks after missing out on the crown in contentious fashion.
The tape narrowly missed out on topping the chart in its first week of release, despite earning over 360,000 equivalent units.
Now it looks set to surge to number one thanks to vinyl copies of the mixtape being shipped out, with Days Before Rodeo on track to move 130,000 equivalent units — including 125,000 in pure sales — in its fourth week, according to HITS Daily Double.
This figure would be enough to take Scott to number one over incumbent Sabrina Carpenter, who initially held the Houston native off the top spot with Short ‘n Sweet, which opened with 362,000 equivalent units.
t would also mark a massive jump for Days Before Rodeo which currently sits at number 106 on the Billboard 200 and suffered a historic slump in its second week.
The decade-old mixtape slid from number two to number 30 after experiencing a 94.7 percent decline in sales, the sharpest fall in sales this decade for an album that still managed to remain on Billboard’s albums chart.
Travis Scott had previously objected to Days Before Rodeo‘s initial chart position, claiming Billboard had used “unreliable and incomplete” data.
Scott’s Cactus Jack Records wrote a letter to the publication accusing it of over-weighting Carpenter’s sales through independent stores, but ultimately, Billboard remained firm in their listing.
