Why does Rihanna always do so good on Spotify (shes in the same league as Bieber/Drake) compared to other females bar Ariana Grande/Adele. Even Needed Me was a big Spotify hit but only got to 38 in the charts. She always does really well on streaming.

 

Because she appeals to the people who stream Drake/Weeknd/Stormzy etc..

Because her music has taken a more urban route, as with Beyonce. Urban music does really well on streams. Lemonade would have been the most streamed album by a female artist I think.

Why does urban music do better on streaming than pop or rock?

Not really sure. Dance music too.

 

Urban music seems to sell very little physically as well in terms of albums, most of the sales come from digital/streaming.

Ya I always wondered this? Will this always be the way or is there any shift yet? Dance and Urban does a lot better than pop

Fab!

 

Why no Disciples still? Is there a plausible reason why they're not? (record label not paying for it?)

It's very odd they've not been added!

AMAZING!

Disciples case shows how easily it is to manipulate the charts right now. Label doesn't pay for inclusion? No hit at all, even if it shows genuine popularity on other platforms. But what is genuine these days...?

Its better? ;)

 

I'm only joking, its just the way fans of that music consume it.

It is a top 40 hit regardless and looking to enter the top 30. Still it is quite annoying that the label seemingly haven't pushed the song onto Hot Hits UK.

Its potential is being stunted.

Only thing I notice is "Love" by Lana.

Labels do pay, but Spotify also adds songs themselves.

YAY at No Promises finally added!!
