Kendrick Lamar Is Now The First Rapper (And One Of Just Nine Artists Ever) To Hit 100 Million Monthly Spotify Listeners

Only a handful of artists, and no other rappers, have done what Lamar just did.

It was reported last week that Kendrick Lamar had passed Drake to claim the all-time record for the most monthly listeners in Spotify history among rappers. Now, though, Lamar has hit a more clear-cut superlative: He currently has 100 million monthly listeners (100,052,025, to be precise), which makes him the first rapper to reach that milestone in Spotify history. The next closest rappers behind Lamar are Post Malone (98), Bad Bunny (95), Drake (86), Eminem (86), Kanye West (78), Doja Cat (76), and Travis Scott (75).
