Years ago it was the goal of every star to be on the charts, the hit the number one spot on the list meant you were number one, and no one could ever take that away from you. Now, streaming has become an important metric, as multiple streaming platforms are battling for their share of voice in sales and brand visibility.
Recently, Billboard magazine has indicated that it will not only continue to publish top streaming songs but weigh the streaming numbers into the overall popularity of the song. This week, the top streamed songs and artists were “God’s Plan” by Drake, “Finesse” by Bruno Mars & Cardi B, “Rockstar” by Post Malone featuring 21 Savage, “Perfect” from Ed Sheeran, “MotorSport” from Migos, Nicki Minaj & Cardi B, “Bartier Cardi” by Cardi B Featuring 21 Savage, and “Meant To Be” from Bebe Rexha & Florida Georgia Line
