They’re both MAC girls, both from the Islands and both have an empire kept afloat by undying support from their respective fan bases.
It only makes sense then, that ‘Autobiography’ Rapper Nicki Minaj and occasional vocalist Rihanna have dominated a list tallying the ‘Most Streamed Female Artists’ in the last six months.
Good news below…
Pieced together by music streaming service Spotify, the lists places the ladies in the order they rank according to how many times they were streamed since September 2012. Perhaps a giant ‘F U’ to those who’d downplay the true power of their respective brands, the global list is as follows:
Rihanna
Britney Spears
Taylor Swift
Ke$ha
Carly Rae Jepsen
Florence Welch
Nicki Minaj
P!nk
Loreen
Alicia Keys
Then, when compiling data pulled from the UK, the company delivered the following tally:
Taylor Swift
Rihanna
Florence Welch
Emeli Sandé
Britney Spears
Ellie Goulding
Ke$ha
Gabrielle Aplin
Nicki Minaj
P!nk
Released in celebration of International Women’s Day (March 8th), both lists tell a few interesting stories and prompt a number of questions.
One of which, being what Minaj‘s presence on both lists (more notably the global one) will change the way she is perceived by US audiences.
For, down to one reason or another, American sales of her sophomore album have given many US spectators cause to believe interest in her material has dwindled everywhere- which really isn’t the case when combined global sales of over 5 million units are added to the equation.
With regards to Rihanna, there’s no doubt the success of ‘Diamonds’ helped to secure the top spot on a global tip, while the delay in a follow up just as groundbreaking may be the reason she lost out to Taylor Swift in the UK.
Either way, congratulations to all the girls and here’s to this year being just as lucrative.
Most streamed female artists of the past 6 months? Hmmmm if only this reflected in album sales
Say it one more time for the h*** in the back!
I looked everywhere but couldn’t find Mrs Armstrong , is that why you so steamed pressed honey sis?
You stay worried about me when Rihanna’s weekly h***** test has BEEN waiting to be collected from the clinic. Run along now d*** polisher.
Why would they be pressed when Beyonces albums go platinum in the first few weeks, she doesn’t need to slay on spotify after 6 months, especially since she doesn’t have anything new out.
You were at the clinic love? Could you tell Consuela that Beyonce needs the recipe for chimichangas again, Blue wants to connect with her roots.
@FENTY
Ughhh! trying to go in on a child?? Shame on you!! What? Cant think of anything else!! LOOOOL!! Go sit all the way down h**!!
@Fentysosnatched why bring the baby into it? Just shade Beyonce for f**** sake. YES Blue Ivy is beautiful she looks just like Bey with daddys lips OK.
Rihanna and Nicki Minaj always have new music for their fans just like the rest on the list so not surprised.
i thought beyonce can gain intrest with just her name alone….i quess not……HAHAHAHAHA___
sincerly, Rihanna Fenty
Why is this anything to cry home about? Majority of them all have new s*** out! I swear the industry are doing anything to give people more ‘titles’ smh.
yep ppl that don’t deserve those titles. I swear.
That chart is toooo irrelevant for me to comment on…so ill just slay icki. Dont yall think she a b****?! Oooo.i.caint stand the h**.
HAHAHAHAHAHAH ….BEYONCE CAN’T GENERATE INTREST ON HER NAME ALONE….HAHAHAHAHAHA….
AHHHH…AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…LIKE WE SAID…
Well, looking at the statistics, this post should be about Rihanna, Taylor Swift the Legendary Miss Britney Spears, Minaj not so much.
Exactly honey…sam i pat my p**** at u for throwin the B**** in the fray when the H** is at the bottom of da pile. U b****. (blows fingernails)
Irrelevant! Who the hell is Loreen? Theres no Adele, Gaga or Beyonce so you know this list is nothing really in reflection of power.
None of them have released music in the past yr so it’s understandable why none of them are on the list. If they did then I’m sure we would all see their names on it.
Ok kudos to them!
TROPICAL STORMS “RIHANNA”, ONCE AGAIN, DOMINATE YET ANOTHER LIST!!!
I’m not surprised anymore to be honest. The SLAYAGE is TRUE.
You stay winning whilst Kimberly stays producing Blackberry video clips of your remixed songs.
Congratulations Nicki also.
#ICONS.

HEY DID ANYONE ELSE HERE BEYONCE TRACK LIST CAME OUT AND RIHANNA IS FEAT ON A SONG…..GUESS THEY TRYING TO BRING THE TWO FAN BASES TOGETHER!!
Its fake.
gurl bye.
Whatever. Most of them have had music out in the past 6 month-year so is it any surprise? Call me when they get a Diamond album.
Queen Nick is coming for blood this era. Lil kim jong il better reattach her face from the Notorious Kim era otherwise she and the other wanna be rap b****** better be ready to check into the retirement home for rap b******.
Don’t get cocky til the 3rd album comes out with actual numbers and worthwhile tunes. If it flops, the poor barbz will be taking a backseat again.
Cause she a vampire…u h** faced B****!!
Well done Pink, Emeli, Florence, Alicia and Gabrielle also!!!
GARBAJ is wayyy down the list
The topic should be about Rihanna & Taylor or Britney Not O n i g g e r
LOL Onigger

@LIKICA ill bring it back 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
@CARIBEAN How is it racist? Does Onika NOT behave and dress like an ignorant person…a n i g g e r ????? Yes, she does. Onika is a 30 yr old CLOWN so she deserves the title of a n i g g e r, a C***, an embarrassment
ignorant much, that is being racist
It’s so funny how this site goes out of it’s way to praise the minor accomplishment of Nicki “The pop star” minaj.
Nicki had like 10 singles out and thats where she is on the list and you ignore the other hard working females SMH
And for you pressed ass Bey stans saying this list is nothing you only angry cuz your fav not here. if she was yall would have been screaming about how much she slays…
Why is everyone that opposes something a Bey stan? I sure as hell aint but I made one of them comments!
Bey has four number one albums? Does Rihanna have two?
b**** #1 albums doesnt equate a successful album all of beyonce album sold like mt everest, high on the top and falls hard the next 2 weeks, NO CONSISTENCY
And Rihannas album sales are better than Beyonces? No.
RIH HAS 12 NUMBER 1S AND 24 TOP TEN HITS!! AND HAS SOLD OVER 100 MILLION RECORDS WORLDWIDE AND DIDNT NEED A GIRL GROUP TO DO IT!! KII KII
YASSSSSSS Ms. Minaj WERKKK. Congrats To All The Other Ladies As Well. GIRL POWER. POW!!!!!
Shade yo face b****
I listened to Rihanna on spotify! I didn’t buy the album though 😉
You and every one else. Unafloplogetic isn’t even on a milli yet.
BUT ITS 2.7 MILLI WW NO COP THAT!!!!
B**** in 5 months Unapologetic has already sold more than 4 and Nickis PR:RR WW. so you can have several
LOL the shade
Um…. Ok.
Trash List
Where is Rihanna’s second number one album though. It’s been 8 years and you’ve only got the one? Chile. *blasts Summertime Sadness.
Rihanna LOL. She can only slay on them cheap lists where it involves you paying minimal money and the Navy get so hype thinking everyone else is ‘pressed’ cos they only talk the truth.
HAHAHA! IKR! Never thought of it like that.
Spotify?
The fact that CRJ is on that list proves it is irrelevant! Anyways King Beys album track list has leaked!
1. Ratchet Ft. Lady Gaga & Azealia Banks
2. Back 2 Business Ft. Jay-Z
3. Roller CoasterFt. Justin Timberlake
4. Visions Ft. Sia
5 Dance (It’s Soon Over) Ft. Rihanna
6. More Than S** Ft. Ne-Yo
7. Better Than Ever Before Ft. Solange Knowles
8. Runaway
9. Sensations
10. 12 Roses
11. It’s All Over
Is a featuring album, lol.
it’s an album which sounds like it’s gonna slay. dunno what rihanna’s doing there tho? just killed it!
No nicki collab! No one want’s that h** cheapening their album! her carrers done!
Lol, to put Nicki on there would be some lazy ass feat! Anyways she’s too busy with her Kmart clothing range…
Eww! Too many collabs. I hope this isn’t the actual track list lol. I doubt it is though, Beyonce has never been big on collabs. She should really keep it that way. Especially with the whole Rihanna song… I like some of Rihanna’s music but I respect Beyonce’s artistry waaay more. She shouldn’t discredit herself.
She needs to pull that Azealia collabo, she’s just a ratchet, hood rat, gremlin looking b*tch who’s album will flop IF it ever drops. Not a good look Bey..

This leaked yesterday. I believe some of it is true but not all of it because I can’t understand why for the love of God she has so much collabos. She was never really big on collaborating with anyone besides Jay. She also was rumored to collaborate with JT (MAYBE on his CD) & Miguel but I don’t see that on here.
The first single is rumored to drop next week while the CD will be released in April so I guess we’ll find out soon.
Forget the part about JT!
Yeah, maybe! If sia, rihanna, solange and neyo were off the list,it would be more believable! April’s so far away!
I think its fake, because they then tweeted after that a source confirmed its fake. I cant see Beyonce having that many collaborations on there. Maybe some of the song titles are real though
I hope this is fake. You made this s*** up!
What! Why would I lie to someone as s*** as you boo boo?!
Im 99% sure Beyonce would not put that many collabs on her album. She too proud to put that many people on it and rightly so, this is HER album I know she wants people to respect her as an artist. I think respect is more important than a hit to Beyonce. Only realistic ones I can see there are Jay Z, Justin and possibly the Ne Yo one.
Oh and maybe the Solange one, but even 4 is pushing it.
Agreed, but wasn’t the ratched song confirmed by Azealia Banks herself hmmmmmm!
She said she worked on something for her… I guess we shall see!
Agreed!
Jay Z and Justin are the only realistic ones tbh.
Beyonce and no Adele so this is for people who only can sell singles lol.
But Queen Rih’s Unapologetic has outsold 4orgotten ww 🙂 😕
UNAPOLOGETIC HAS SOLD 3 MILLION!!! MORE THAN 4 DID!!!
QUEEN RIH MAKES HISTORIH ONCE AGAIN!!!!
That b**** breaks records in her sleep!!! Even her clothing line broke records!!! #THE SLAYAGE CONTINUES #DAT REIGN
nicki a flop doe

Icki IS a flop honey #dealwithitBITCH
Queen Nicki slays again.
*Applies barbie pink lipstick & throws on blinged out “barbie” plated necklace”
@EYESOUR b**** pleeeeease
Hey Samantha you hating f**, you forgot to add that Rihanna at over 3.4 billion views is the most watched artist on YouTube/VEVO. Rihanna is doing for VEVO what Madonna did for MTV. Your hating f** ass better post that next time, ok tosser.
Hey baby!!!! How are you honey??? the queens album will be platinum soon& rih is the queen of YouTube
Been good, been missing you from this blog. Yass, I know, Unapologetic almost platinum, WINNING.
f*** this stupid list
But are we surprised rihanna & nicki stay slaying. no sign of lady caca or beyfake anywhere looks like no ones here for there music anymore
But what new music do they have out though fool? This is for the past 6 months. Theres no Adele either. I rest my case.
Britney has only one featured song in the last couple of months & is at the top of the list i doubt scream & shout got her to the top alone so cut the b******* mama
But you still didn’t answer the question though.
You’ll be surprised how a smash hit can catapult you up… You should know.
STAY IS IN THE TOP 5 AGAIN!!! WHEN WILL BEY? OAN SAM POST HOW RIHS RIVER ISLAND BROKE JLO RECORD FOR THE FASTEST SELLING CLOTHING EVER BY A CELEBRITY!!! RIHANNA CLOTHING LINE>>>>>>>>>HOUSE OF MONSTROSITY!!!!

#2 Stay
1- Misleading titles as always.
2- @ Jake/Andy, I know you like Rihanna while you’re a Beyonce fan, but this not the right place for you to lick the balls of Rihanna stans, specially when they do nothing but keep talking the most degrading, delusional s*** about your fav.
3- Have Rihanna stans LOST their abilities to shade, or what???
#MrsCarterShow is likely to become the highest grossing global tour of 2013, and you’re still foaming on top of your snouts about Beyonce not having a “smash hit track”???
Is that your lane, Rihanna stans?????
Is that what makes your fav’s career???
$1.29 digital tracks and peak positions?????
Well…..
Nicky looks really nice lately..I’m so happy she fired her past stylist..i just cant believe nicki minaj actually got booty implants..i mean just google kelsnetwork
Wow what an accomplishment! *rolls eyes*
*snaps* for them being most likely to be heard for FREE…wake me when folk will drop coin for their albums….
yet she keeps outselling Beforgotten 😉 that’s a damm shame/
The only thing shes outsold is 4 by not even that much. Thats nothing to celebrate, but course, anything for u guys :/.
LMAO @NAVI 🙄
DESPITE being a total radio pet since 2007, Rihanna never outsold BEYONCE until 2012 when “Talk That Talk” sold more than “4” by like 300k in London or somewhere in the UK.
Get your facts right.
lol stupid… beyonce sucks
end of the story
Ok. Good i guess.
Most streamed?… you mean the women people wanted to see half naked right? haha I still can´t believe Billboard is going to count youtube views for the USA singles charts. I hope it´s just for a very little percentage among the things that help as ong to rise on the charts. Anyway, at least it seems there are a couple of women to made the list just based on talent and music like Emeli Sandé or Florence
The only person that matters on this list is Britney
It’s quite embarrassing that Rita Ora didn’t make the UK list.
Although the list is quite pointless considering it includes so many flops.
i see taylor swift and britney spears and rihanna on both list(top 3)…i dont see where nicki is dominating,maybe he just supporting the blacks,congrats on all who made the list
why this stupid and bias blog is still open?
lmao i dont see beyfake anywhere on any of those lists.
