There’s more.

UK? Oh okay… *goes back to sleep*
feeling some type of way because tacki minaj is no where to be found?
DRAG HA!!!!!
she listed #4 as a top streamed female.. just saying
It’s just we’re talking about music. While the UK music market has relevance, it’s not even half as relevant as the US. But, this site is run by a Brit. So be it.
Yea ho go back to sleep…like yo favs career!! Kii
speaking of “sleep” where tf is Janet on this list huh ?
Yes !!! To my Queens Bey & Rih !!!! The fact the bey hasn’t released music in over a year & still pulling in streams is amazing
Bey is a boss!
And yet the NAZI claims she has no IMPACT!!!!!!!LOL
In copying?
Where Ciara and Nicki at. The squad and barbs too busy riding the hive coat ails. Maybe you should focus on actually supporting your fave.
Oop new single for 2015 and she the second most streamed female artist YAY QUEEN!!!
Ment to say no new single lol
King bey ❤
Flop Ciara
Empress!
Yas Nicki, Rih & Bey…. SLAY!!!
Where’s the pinkshit on being platinum?
No new music and BEY is still the second most streamed female !!!!!!! iMPACT
My king bey yayyy.
Yet they call Bey local!! Queen!!!
EXACTLY!!!!!!! THAT BITCHH HAS NO NEW MUSIC OUT ANS STILL SLAYING.
Stans i hope yall see are sick hypocrits and are always moving the goal post now sloppy seconds (to rihanna of all else) is a yassss! Smh
Rihanna is the boss.
Don’t get ahead of yourself child! Rihanna released 3 singles compared to Bey’s no singles released yup let That sink in! #QueensImpact
#1 is #1
Exactly… Beyonce released 7/11 last November and just recently released two features. Rihanna has been releasing singles all year lol. She wouldn’t be #1 if Taylor and Adele allowed their music to be streamed.
Rihanna hasn’t released an album in like three years though ( let that sink in) and the 3 singles that she did release weren’t mega hits!!! Beyonce been performing left and right plus her album is not so long ago. Beyonce had “Feelin’ Myself”, “7/11″….
B are youserious?!! Stfu. Rihanna has been releasing singles that are available to stream, all year. Let’s not forget the huge amount of promo she has done for her new era already.( iheart radio awards, SNL, Grammy’s, march madness, bet awards, ama, jimmy Kimmel,ETC) Album or not. Beyonce only released 7/11 last November and performed at tidal. Stfu .
What about Running which was released and was semi popular in the UK Rih had 3 singles and so did Bey but Rih came out on top. Highest selling digital artist of all time and most pirated artist of all time what does that tell you!
Rn was just released barely two months ago hun. You mean to tell me one unpromoted song is enough to place her at #2 behind someone hwho has been doing the mist all uear? What does that tell u biitch?
Biggest kiii is WHERE IS TAYLOR!?!?!? I thought she was the current QUEEN OF POP MUSIC??? LAWLZ!!! Not spotify further proving Taylor is mostly local in the States ????
LOL!!! u doing too much sis, u know taylor took off her music from spotify.
OOOP!!!! DEATH!!!!! I forgot her music isn’t available on Spotify I retract my statement hahahahaha!!!! Thanks for that lawlz!!!!
U’re welcome, if i did not do that, the NAZI would have had a field day and called the hive DUMB..Lol
Shittt i forgot too
Excuses excuses excuses
What excuses? Beyonce is only #2 behind someone who has been releasing singles all year. Beyonce topped the Spotify streaming list last year after only having her album available to steam at the end of last year. BOSS!!! If Taylor, Adele allowed streaming, ahe would not be #1 and if Beyonce released a new album, she wouldn’t be #1. Lmaoo get ya life tho
3 singles!!!! And yet she has been releasing singles all year long…..ha! The hypocrisy and the delusion to make Beyonce better.
Get tf out of my reply box dumb b****. Rihanna’s first single came in January 2015. It is now December 2015. Isn’t three singles the usual amount this bird releases before she moves onto the next Mcalbum anyway.? She has had a full era, the only thing missing is the actual album. Even tho the singles were flops, they were available to stream. Beyonce is better and doesn’t have to try. Thats why she has longevity and rihanna doess not. Bye
Death really where is taylor? Kiii I see the UK doesn’t use her.
Her music isn’t on Spotify sis. Where’s Ciara and Iggy?
We established that already *scrolls thru comment*
Ok but where’s Ciara and Iggy?
Watch the Nazi come in bragging about this. It just goes to show that people would rather stream than buy her flop music
If bey was #1 yall wouldbw saying bow down etccc
Now she #2 its yasss! Gtfoh
Flip flop hive. No integrity hive. Ewww hive
Go Rihanna!
DEATH at me Molly for are ridiculous statements hahahahaha! Oh well Taylor still local hahaha!
Lmao right
How much you want to bet Spotify still only paid Rihanna and Beyonce 1/16489 of they’re actual worth. I wish those Spotify listeners who like Bey and Rih so much would switch to Tidal since they’re part owners. That fat fvck of a CEO only cares about wonderbread poptarts. Where dey at tho?
I’d bottom so hard for Ed Sheeran if he sang for me, his voice is angelic.
Girl, same here, but he would be the one bottoming 😉
Where mooriah and ciERROR? KII!!!
Where’s Janet?
Madonna???
“Beyonce been performing left and right plus her album is not so long ago. Beyonce had “Feelin’ Myself”, “7/11″….”
.
The navy is so full of s*** and this is why they get dragged. I can count on one hand how many performances Bey did for her last album. Rihanna has already performed MORE and canceled a few ( Victoria Secret fashion show). Streaming is no big deal when you sell albums anyway. Lmaoo
Biitches mad because Beyonce came in @ #2 without having to release s*** or promote like a label s**** lol.
Naughty Boy says hi
Zzzzzzzzzz
You know your a queen when you haven’t released anything all year yet you’re still #2 on the charts ☕
if number 2 is a queen what does that make number 1
Go away already. That nonchalant, ride-the-fence, pretend-to-be-objective façade of yours is tired. If you want to throw shade then THROW it… but don’t throw rocks when no-ones around to clock you.
haaaa!!
Kiii not slay-hive murdering these k** swallowers with facts like she Zena The Warrior Princess ?????
Lol. They are so maaad. No one was even talking about WASHEDanna..
Wheres the american list?
its out sis Rihanna is number one here too while Bey came in at #4
Self Titled came out two years ago. Yet, shes still on that list. You do the math!
But had 3 singles out this year
Kiii at Tranetsaurs Rex coming for Ciara and Mariah! When Cici gets like 1 million more monthly listener’s and Mariah gets like 5 million more than Janet! You better know your place! Because I dont see janet on the list sis and if she was Ciara and Mariah def coming in ahead LAWLZ i can’t with that Dinosaurs self drag in every post ????
I Can’t with the Navy NOW PROCLAIMING Beys featured songs this year as her singles! When the Hive was happy and praising her for being on these singles the navy came throwing shade at her for being on them. Now that she’s number 2 for being most streamed female in the UK y’all want to down play them and compare them to Rihanna’s 3 singles that were her as a lead artist???? I can’t with this contradicting of the Navy! Y’all need to have several seats and learn some facts please. Beyonce was only on 2 featured tracks all year. Feeling Myself and Running! Coldplays track barely came out lmao!!! Rihanna was everywhere from Rock in Rio to Ama’s! Compare that to Beyonce only doing a tidal exclusive (which was like one or two performances not an entire concert) and Made In America Festival!
Yes Rih is number one in the U.S too! Yet the Hive tried to downplay her success this year! BBHMM is iconic h*** and Rih along with only 4 other women this year had a top 5 with FFS! Anti tickets are selling out at high prices and she is trending worldwide proud of her she still slated this year without much promotion mind you she had one performance at a second rate Iheartradio awards yet she promoted so much?!!
One performance??? !! ???? what a liar. What about the SNL performance?? Grammy’s?? NCAA March Madness?? That scheduled but canceled Victoria Secret Performance? BBHMM prank performance on Jimmy Kimmel?? Rock in Rio?? Appearance at BET awards to promote BBHMM video?? Girl bye with all this smoke and mirror bull. Release your album and let the music do the speaking!!
Rihvember says BYE biitxh
The lies this b**** is telling. Where tf is that album since this era has been such a sucess?? Lmao bitxh bye
No number 1 yet so her bosses won’t guve her a release yet KIII!!! they just might NOW THO. This list has restored the white ceo’S faith in Rihanna pushing another 3 million albums worldwide.
Im happy my Queen is still either topping or making these top 5 spots on these list after 18 years of relevancy! No new singles besides featured tracks that didn’t even chart well in the US and she still made the cut!!! #QueensImpact!! No promoting of any kind for any of them featured singles and shes sti slaying. PS Bey is with in the Top 5 for most streamed global female artist! Yaaaas!!!! SLAY QUEEN SLAY!!!
get u, mine is stil number 1 after 10 years
Kii but Rihana has only been making these list of any kind since like 2011 meanwhile Bey’s been making the cut since like the early 2000s lol you tried tho!
Lol @ rihscehduled stans rejoicing over this. They will take anything at this point as a win. But why isnt she #1 or atleast beat DRAKE… the fact that bey is #2 female simply means there was no comp at #3 4 or 5. Easy to come at #1 female but atleast 5 males surpassed her flop streaming stats.
funny how you jumped over all the comments from the beyhive taking bey at number 2 in the uk as a statement to her power…but jumped straight to the ones of the navy congratulating their faves for coming in first in her slowest year musically

Top Five Females in U.S.

Eihanna is #3 in the u.s.
https://news.spotify.com/us/2015/12/01/drake-is-the-worlds-most-streamed-artist-on-spotify-for-2015/
OMG I LIVE HAHAHAHAHAHA AND SHE’S SUPPOSE TO BE QUEEN OF THE DIGIT ERA!!!! NOT WHEN ADELE AND TAYLOR ARE COMING FASTER THAN THESE POWER BOTTOM STANS ?????????
“Most Streamed Female of 2015: Rihanna
With over 1 billion streams and 57 million listeners this year, Rihanna is 2015’s most streamed female artist.”
.
Ms. International. Aka Ms. World Wide. You mad? hahahahahahahahaha
#TryAgain
On spotify h** what happens if we factor in Pandora, Tidal and Apple Music??? Hmmm ill wait lol!
B**** we were talking about the U.S. The part you said has already been established. I read it sweety, i posted the link. Drake is still ahead of her and rihanna still has no release date. Ms. International not so confident anymore?? No wonder she needs samsung and tidal. Streaming may be her only hope. lmaoooo FOH pressed and confused f**.
These hoses are smart to wait and lie under their troll accounts. Weak
They was quick replying back earlier. Where are they know kiiiii! Bet it was Centiped and Marsha hahahaha dumb ass mofucka’s lmao
LOL @ STRUGGLE-NAVY … forging stats to make rih seem bigger when even FLOPye West outstreamed her in uk & Bey also in us with With old music & weak features. Didnt bey outdo rihanna on the forbes list too? I swear STRUGGLEihanna is like catlyn jenner to beys Ronda Rousey (Pre knockout). watch everyone compare ANTI DEPRESSANTS late holiday sales to self titled. Bey always slays rih without effort… 7/11 is still bigger than rihs 3 singles & 14567 snippets combined.
See you guys forgot to post the u.s. As well where rih is still atop the most streamed.
I’m SO READY for Nicki Minaj to serve up another “Starships”. She was always so happy, energetic, and free whenever she promoted that hit…and now it’s a modern pop classic. That music video was EPIC and I LIVED for that green lace front wig she wore at the NBA all-stars performance. I need her to make some more pop jams and leave the trap/hood/R&B beats alone for awhile. Speaking of pop jams, she needs to promote that “certain single that shall remain nameless” so that she can be killing the charts again.
We already Knew who the Queen of the U.K. was from the get-go. Her FREAKING ENTIRE European leg is nothing but stadiums!!!!!! Shoot, even Selena performed “Birthday Cake” on her last tour.
Rihanna always winning. Where is the 2nd biggest act in the UK after Adele? I forgot her name to be honest. Cherry Coke?
I think Katy a d Taylor are the next biggest pop acts in the UK after Rih. Let’s face it…that woman placed a PERMANENT stamp on the UK and it’s NOT gonna come off. Its a good thing that they don’t want it to come off, too.
For the hive to not like Rihanna, they sure do go out of their way to bring her down with their repetitive reads that that they are so “innovative”. LOL
that they think*
B**** the Hive didnt even bring rihanna up. That flop b**** is the last thing on my mind! Dont be mad when the b**** is dragged because of your stupidity and ignorance lmaooo bye
The lies and delusion. And that forehead! lol
What lies closet cockk sucker?? Show me where a Hive member brought up rihanna before the navy came in here…….
Surprise..(DEC 2013) says:
+4
-7
Vote
And yet the NAZI claims she has no IMPACT!!!!!!!LOL
.
. Rings a bell? And the lie about Rih fine @ss not being on yo mind. You fool yourself, but you don’t fool me. FourFive Head.
Get your slow pressed ass out of my reply box b****. That comment was about rihanna’s fans not Rihanna herself. lmaooo UGH!! I dont give af about rihanna like 99% of the GP. The other 1% being the small powerless and pressed navy. Goodnight Lady M.
Aww, you mad… and ugly AF! lol
No you have me confused with that thing you’re looking at in the mirror. Stawp trying me insecure f***!
The fact that you’re proud of “dragging” people as if it’s an accomplishment is what’s really funny. LOL
LMAO biitch proud??? I am laughing at you sweety!! The fact that you’re still here and in my reply box shows that you are ….MADDDDDD!!! I didnt start s*** but i damn sure finished it! night h**! 😉

Lol y’all are fussing over streams. If these were albums sales that would be totally different..
Lana still being the 5th most streamed female artist in the US?? Still shows that people are checking for here even when she refuses to do promo.
Well, you know those ARENAS don’fill themselves.
Not surprising. Rihanna is the Digital Queen.
Beyoncé’s last three tours combined = 33 Stadium Dates
ANTI world tour = 36 Stadium Dates

Nice
FleaHive please give credit where credit is due. Now all of a sudden these “flop singles” are out streaming Bey. #2 is nothing to be so upset about especially when it is only streaming and not album sales or net worth even. Your girl got that department on lock. You all make a person want to hate your queen #sheesh
